It's time I start my own

For far too long, the talents I've let myself fall into a state of lethargy and tivial pursuit when it comes to writing. Xanga has been a great place to keep up with friends and read about their lives, but since people really don't update theirs anymore I'm finding that feedback is becoming much more scarce, and consequently harder to sharpen my teeth against. I have been afraid to move away from xanga because it has been such a home for me. But it seems like all homes I've had, the time has come to find a new one. I need a place where people can feel free to come and go, to read, to post, to offer ideas. I want a place where I can offer serious discussions, deep questions and extreme introspection. I want this blog to be a sanctuary of thought. All are welcome--join me by the fire.
