Caveat Lector

For those of you illiterati (people who don't speak Latin), the title of this post is "Reader Beware". I feel that I should give a few warnings/explanations about this blog.

1. Reason: I'm writing this blog because a friend wanted me to, so I may not be very into it at first.

2. Frequency of Posts: I'm not going to write this like an every day happenings blog. This is just going to be major events, so posts may be infrequent. Along with that, I may not post to the blog for a few days after things happen, since I will be limited to dial-up internet at home, and that frustrates me at times.

3. Language: At times, I like to use arcane words and phrases. This is how I would really talk if I was sure I wouldn't get questions like "How do you know that word?" or "What does that mean?" etc. Therefore, I dumb myself down in conversation with people, and generally avoid those kinds of words. But when writing, I can't be interrupted by questions, so I feel free to write how I would like to talk. It may be quite frequent (relative to the amount of posts), since people reading this will have easy access to wikipedia, google, dictionary.com, and so on to figure out what they just read.

4. Long Rants: As you can see from just this post, I tend to talk about things in roundabout ways, taking forever to get to the point. This is another thing I try to avoid in conversation--thanks to all these punk kids and their short attention spans.

For those of you who are still reading this, if you want to read about my summer, here's where to go. There may not be very many posts, but I don't know how interesting my summer will be. If you want to check back about once a week, you probably won't leave posts waiting unread for long. If you check back every day, you need to get a life.

Anyway, it's after 1am. I want to get some sleep before I work on getting more things packed up.
