So this is the Blogosphere

So I suppose if I'm really going to do this blog thing I should really post something. I've started many so-called-blogs on the many social network sites I've joined (only to keep up with friends, I swear! It seems the older one gets the more one's friends and acquaintances spread out, like scent molecules diffusing. With my friends, luckily it's a good scent. But I've found sites like Myspace or Facebook necessary to keep up with people I no longer see in person.) that never seem to get off the ground. If it's lucky, it'll get one post, maybe two, before I completely forget about it. And there they sit, abandoned, readerless, burnt-out shells of once promising blogs ... okay, I'm done now.
But the only place I've been able to write consistently (depending on your definition of consistent) is on my Livejournal, which I've kept up for going on five years now. However, because of the personal nature of my LJ, it's friends only (for now, and probably a little while longer) and I've been feeling the need for a more public venue. Blogger constructed the soapbox, and my recent discovery of fat activism gave me my subject.
I'll post more later on who I am and why I'm here, and why I chose this particular subject. Since I have an eye-glazing tendency to ramble on much more than is needed, I've vowed to try and stay succinct with my posts here, which is why I'm ending this post now.
