Starting a blog is one of those things you feel you need to prepare for, map out, come guns a'blazing with a plan of attack. I, however, am not one to get those marvelous beginnings from my head as I drift to sleep actually on to paper. It's in those sleep-filled moments that ideas come rushing and appear to be filled with brilliance - hooks to gather an audience, mindful insights that the world can relate to, and well-metered prose that makes life seem to be more interesting than I find it to be at 10am as I contemplate a mess of laundry on the floor. Granted, there's the distinct possibility that these bursts of insight only have the appearance of greatness because they are the progeny of a time of ill-equipped faculties.
In any case, this is the jump of the hurdle. Welcome to my theogony. The cast of characters remain the same, albeit with an apropos guise: Chaos reigns supreme in a world full of transition, Gaia slowly appears as new territories are explored, Tartaros is laying claim to some of the clothes that seem to never make it back from the laundromat, and Eros has shot me in the ass with an elephantine arrow. For those not versed in Hesiod, in summary, all is well in my world. There's a beautiful new city to explore, a home to build, and an unparalleled partner to share in my exploits.
I took that cappuccino down like a Moira smacking a giant - a job well done, but a bit messy. |
With that mess out of the way, I hope that you will join me too as I galavant through this new universe. Not only will you be endlessly amused (come on, you know you're waiting for my updated gigantomachy!), but chances are I'll share some treats too. After all, this is be peculinary and some peculiar(ly delicious) edibles will be debuted.
My name is Brittany and you know you want (to follow) me.
