First off, I must admit that I am fully ashamed to have a WordPress account. After our J-Lab fiascos this year, I swore off WordPress forever. Unfortunately, I caved to Judson’s suggestions and began this.
I seriously considered using thecoffeesong, but I liked the intactness of my previous journalism, so it will remain as it is (an archive at best?).
The task of naming these sites is a particular struggle for me. I don’t have a nickname like vergil66 or XopherWells that can follow me wherever I go. I tend to outgrow my screen names very quickly, so I wanted to avoid anything I’d find completely childish in five years.
I’ve had a strange craving for stories lately–hearing, telling, writing, reading–which probably explains why I sadly love/loved journalism so much. I stole all the “story” books from Judson a few months ago, so as I began reading Tim O’Brien, I decided a story-related title would be appropriate.
Like my good (or not-so-good, depending on the moment) cohort Spencey, I’m aiming to update this a few times each week. See ya then!
Cheers,
Kel

You should stick to writing other people’s stories based off the stories you always told in class, despite your best attempts at making them sound dramatic.
I do believe, though, that the weblog is the perfect distance for the two of us to maintain our relationship so don’t sissy out.
