Taking the plunge

After wrestling with my own insecurities about starting a blog coupled with some adolescent-like peer pressure, I have decided to trade in my very time-consuming Farmville on Facebook for a blog. I made a mental pros and cons list and had two very disturbing realizations. 1. Farmville takes up a colossal amount of my time and the only thing I get in return is the satisfaction that I am a way better virtual farmer than most of my "neighbors". 2. I dislike talking to people so much that if they could just read my blog I could continue to pursue my lifelong goal of becoming a hermit.
