In the Beginning...

Ladies and Gentlemen, Madames and Monsieurs, Welcome and Congratulations! You have found the Holy Grail that is my blog. And yes, that was sarcasm. This is a mediocre work at best and not at all holy. In all honesty, this is being made on a whim and at the behest of my mother and a few friends. I don't succumb to peer pressure easily, but this is an activity that doesn't require much movement, so I don't need much persuading. Although, I couldn't keep a diary as a child so that kind of hints at what level of commitment we are looking at here. By the way, my name is Lucy. Thought you ought to know.

So, what does one write on a blog? Also, where does the word blog come from? I get the"log" part of the word, but the "b" throws me off. I really don't know what I'm doing here. This probably won't be read by anyone but my friends and relatives and some creeper named Chad who lives in the basement of his mother's house with 16 cats and re-enacts the battles of Lord of the Rings in full battle armor and his assortment of live-sized Pokemon character cut-outs as stand-in friends. To be terribly honest, I'm picturing a guy that looks like the fat serial killer in Neil Gaiman's Sandman series. 

And now, this is how you too may visualize Chad. Don't worry, Chad, the reader ends up feeling sorry for him in the end. By the way, I just read that a couple of days ago so I apologize for any other references to it. 

To wrap up, I suppose, this is my blog. Don't worry, you don't have to feel like you have made a commitment to it by reading this introduction. It may be my only post. 

What a dreary way to end something. I'm sorry about that, that's incredibly rude. Here, for your troubles:

All better. Toodle-loo!
