Chapter 1: Literary.

i've always wanted to be a literary person. you know, one of those cool, all back wearing, scarves in the summertime, black eye-linered, cafe inhabiting individuals who just exude the essence of all that is... hip. alas, this has not happened to me. partially because being literary also means that i have to write, which i seemed to have forgotten along the way.

i realized that basically, until now, i have been a poser, and one of the worst kinds. not only did i dress and make-up and eye line the part of someone i was not, but i also earned the respect of the spectators around me who thought i was a rather respectable being who actually did write. and possibly wrote well. sorry to disappoint, but not really. all that typing you saw? yea, that was me on aim.

but i believe that i can be a new age literary: one who actually does write. now, i'm not accusing any of the quintessential literary types of being posers, but honestly, if i could do it, anyone could. and all that time i used to spend looking the part, i'm now going to focus on doing the part. sort of.

so let's see if this works out, right? i mean, as my mom would, say, "i can try."
