In the beginning...

Hello!  If you're reading this, welcome to my world...or this section of it, anyway.  I've been meaning to do this for a while, for various reasons.  The main reason is that I wanted to have some kind of creative outlet, a place to express myself in writing.  This is something I haven't really done since I graduated and it's been entirely too long.  So now I'll explain myself a little bit...

The name of the blog was inspired by a Liz Phair album, "Exile in Guyville."  And let me confess right here, I've never listened to this album or any individual song on it (that I know of); I just happened to know and like the name.  Already, I'm exposing myself as kind of a poseur, but it had to be done.  I'll probably be writing a lot about the movies and TV shows that I like because that's something I'm very passionate about and something I'd like to share.  I may share some about what's going on in my life, but I feel like this is mostly going to be a place to share what's running through the old brain, however immature or arcane it may be.  Eventually I'll probably add pictures and maybe snazz the place up a bit, but for now it's gonna be pretty bare bones.  Be patient with me while I feel my way through this.

So, I guess I'll leave it at that for now.  I'm already pretty excited about the potential for this blog.  This is something I'm mainly doing for selfish reasons, but I sincerely hope that those who choose to read it will get something out of it (even if it's just a better understanding of my dork-like tendencies) and enjoy it.  If you have anything you'd like me to write about or have any questions, PLEASE let me know.  I'm going to need all the help I can get!

Til next time...
