possibly a disclaimer, but not a manifesto (yet)
So my sister is feeling all bloggy and motivated right now, which reminds me that I was in a similar mood last week, and yet accomplished little (although I do have a quite long and somewhat rambling post in my LiveJournal to show for it). Also, I have a feeling she's going to want my participation in the madness sometimes soon, and there's a survey about music I might be expected to post - so it seemed time for some explanation/introduction.
i.e this is my new blog, whose purpose differs from that of the other blog-thing I have in that 1. I'm probably going to hold my writing to a higher standard (read: capitalization and punctuation), and 2. Livejournal is an excellent forum in which to keep in touch with people, especially for people like me whose friends are all both geeky and far away, but Blogger feels more serious somehow, and I will aspire to take it unseriously in a less boring way. Unfortunately, goal #1 went out the window with the advent of this paragraph, so perhaps I'll just try to use bigger words over here. It's totally unclear.
As for the url, it's very silly and I know I pronounce Persephone wrong, but I've been doing so for a number of years and I like it better this way.
Current goals for the blog include getting my New Years Resolutions posted on here by midnight tonight, as one of them stipulates typing the list up by today. That way I can commence breaking them in time for February (second most irritating month of the year, IMO).

Dude. So what's the first most annoying month?
November.
Why?
Longish and dark and bleh.
Where are the NYRs? Post 'em, post 'em!
...it's so much easier to harass you than to go to work.
Since none of them ever got done or even started, I'm thinking I won't share. ;)
Saw you on the Garden State blog and liked your blog name (then again, I'm partial) so thought I'd take a peek. Then I thought it was funny, because your reasons for starting a blog were the same as mine...and why I deleted my LiveJournal. My first blog ended up being LiveJournal without comments. I just started a totally new one and we'll see what happens there.
Good luck to you too!
