I initially started this blog as place to talk about my encounters with feminism and my thoughts on said encounters.

I’m sure you can see how well that went. A combination of not feeling like I’m really qualified to speak on the Weighty Matter of Feminism, another blog that I have been writing for and just general Life Getting in the Way has kept me from really doing anything here.

Because of all the Life in the Way horseshit, I’ve also more or less abandoned any sort of writing at all – and that will just not do. I need to write, it’s one of the few things I do that I really feel I have a talent for, and the operation of putting my thoughts and feelings into coherent words and legible sentences is cathartic and soothing.

So we’re going to switch gears here a little, and turn this lovely blog into more of a persona blog. There will be geology. And there will be feminism. And there will be adventures in Scotch sampling. And scrapbooking. And Ways I Almost Set Fire to the Kitchen. I don’t think this is at all so much as a rebirth (reboot?) as it is an expanding of my original mission. To tell my stories – whatever they may be – and to tell them loud.

Enjoy!
