so this is it huh.. i started my own blog and i have nothing of consequence to say. identical genitals you may inquire? don't know what it means or how my life partner even came up with it (we don't have identical genitals; they're opposite actually). but long before this pointless blog we found it amusing. i figure we will probably be the only two people reading any of this nonsense anyway, as much of what i say is for her and my own amusement (hi baby).
i almost never write with any sort of form. e.g. i detest capital letters, and i choose when i want to use punctuation. ordinarily i fancy myself a rather strict grammarian (taught english for several years), but unless i'm writing for a class (got my degree & that's enough for me), i don't care so much. i do, however, think that the semicolon gets a bad rap. i find it misunderstood (notice semicolon usage here); not enough people know how it's supposed to be used. the primary usage nowadays by these youngsters is in those freakin emoticons (can't believe i just used that word). in that vain a semicolon has become a pair of eyes in which one is winking ;-) so i guess it's ok for now until my dear friend makes a comeback as the 2008 (or 2009 -- i'm not picky) punctuation mark of the year. i just realized i use parentheses quite a bit.. note to self: fewer parentheses, more semicolons.
my updating of this page will no doubt take time, as my apathy more than occasionally oozes out of me.
later,
moi

You already have 4 profile views. Hooray!
I like it already, and I'm glad you're doing it. If it's okay with you, I will link to your blog from mine so that the three people (other than you) who check mine can now be privy to your brillance.
I'm partial to the dash - such as right here - myself.
I'm partial to my colon, personally.
