i signed up to blog

the goal is to make myself write stuff down somewhere, just to keep the fingers moving. max is here - he seems amused. he's also really supportive. to be honest, he's pretty great! : ) i've also turned a leaf recently and have been working on overcoming some of my phobias - or the things i don't like to do. like writing (see here) and reading (see next to my computer). right now i am reading jimena canales' book manuscript. its really good! i am working hard though to not feel really inadequate by comparison. she is a REAL historian. where does all this information come from? i am very impressed. but i am going to avoid any cognitive distortions that might result after these impressions. okay!
