new blog...

I decided it was time to leave my livejournal account, because...well, mostly because I was bored with it. And also because I wanted to try some new stuff, which I couldn't do at that place. This site gives me a bit more freedom to do whatever I want, so I'm going to try to get used to it before myself and all my friends go away to school. The title of this blog, I must admit, I have stolen from a poem that my good friend Mary wrote a long time ago. She might be surprised to find that I still have the poem. It's not my poem to post here, but it's one of my favorite things that she's ever written, and it somehow reminds me to take life as seriously as possible and yet not so seriously at the same time. If that makes any sense. Anyway I have to be off to work at my lovely job but I may update more from there; for now, I just wanted to get this thing started.
