this is a title of an intro post

Assuming I live to be 80 years old (average life expectancy for females in the US is 81 and I don't feel like finding out more refined statistics that would apply more directly to me) my life is now one quarter over and I still don't actually know what I'm doing with it. I feel like I have mostly gotten the hang of breathing, and I have always been good at the keep-your-heart-beating thing, but aside from that? What am I doing? What do I like? How can I contribute to the lives of those around me or the nation or the world? Will I?

Mostly the only thing I know about me is that I spend much more time asking myself these questions than I spend looking for the answers.

Anyway. Yup. So this is me, starting a blog. I have gotten a little better at writing in my journal of late, and while that is an excellent repository for the bits of me that really oughtn't be seen elsewhere I want somewhere a little less personal and a little more well written to deposit some anecdotes or musings. Working on my writing skills is also something that would be good and stuff.

I likely will not actually link this to anyone until I have, y'know, more than one boring intro post. Or until the title is actually accurate (I don't turn a score until the 17th. 15 days to go.)
