venturing out of doors

i'm at starbucks right now, stealing internet from a nearby panera since it costs six dollars an hour in starbucks--yeah, like i'm gonna do that. this is the first time i've gotten up the nerve to go out in public in four days, and i get the feeling i must look pretty ridiculous: bandages down my left arm, completely encased right one, scraped up all over, and slowly, meticulously attempting to type with my left hand, face close to the keys--i think i was even biting my tongue, stuck out the corner of my mouth for a while. it's not that i'm particularly vain about all this--i hadn't stayed in out of embarrassment, but pain. but you know how it is when you go out and suddenly become aware of your appearance and feel very naked? that's how i feel now.

in other news, i have recently discovered that my brother, Marshall, has started reading this blog. hi marsh! he's leaving for Tanzania soon, and pretty damn cool.

anyway, this is something new i've been working on. i hope everyone finds it enjoyable.
