origins

my inaugural post. i don't think i have ever described myself as shy, but i feel shy as an artist. this blog is my timid attempt at entering a world of artistry, creativity, verve in the blogosphere. we'll see how it goes. but let me tell you, just creating a template wore me out! i wanted this to be a place for me to muse on life, post photos of pretty things i see, write, create, be. come and be my friend in this endeavor!

addendum to this last post:
i guess i didn't really
explain why i started this blog. (i chalk that up to fatigue from choosing a template!) at any rate, i have found that 21st century life, my 21st century life, is not conducive to creativity. i like to check off tasks, be efficient. that doesn't leave much room for lingering. and lingering is needed for creativity, right? this blog is a forum to help me capture some creative essence within me. the inner artist that got sidetracked in second grade when i started having my mom do my art projects ;) yes, that's how i got into stanford.
