Oh right, this thing

I hardly remembered this existed at all.  Oh well, once again, sweet Blogger, you wrest me from the grasp of procrastination.

Perhaps I should say something about myself?  Some tiny sliver of information about me?

Well, I'm graduating soon.  I have but one more summer class to go.  I haven't really thought of, say, grad school yet.  I have contemplated going on a trip, seeing the sights, or perhaps getting some lowly job for a year or so while I balance my priorities.

I am very bad at that.  Failure to balance priorities is why I'm finding myself one elective short at the end of my senior year.  And also how I ended up with a nine month long vacation and a two foot coffin. 

I have a boyfriend.  He's well trained.  Hardly ever messes on the carpet anymore.  He would also like to add that I hardly ever need to hit him with the newspaper anymore.  Still, I keep a spray bottle, full of water, just in case.

He doesn't want me to put his name on here.  I may anyway, when he's not paying attention.  I've asked him to make a blog so I will have a follower, but he refuses.  He says I should get a tumblr and leave this thing behind.

Maybe if I was one of the unwashed masses, she says, while fiddling with her smartphone and checking Homestuck.

Sigh, I should probably get back to doing whatever it is I should be doing.  My work is never done.

So I guess this is a thing now

Hey, I'm Ashleigh Torn.  Forgive the self-indulgent, pseudo-angsty title that sounds like it should be the name of a pop-punk band.  It's a holdover from my teenage years and, as bad as it is, I can't really bring myself to be rid of it.  My last name really is Torn, though.  And as I say my real name on the internet, thousands flock to stalk me, chasing me through the dorms like a modern day nymph, daring to catch a glimpse of my magnificent beauty.

Yes, pretty much that entire paragraph was sarcastic.  You should probably just assume that's the case from now on.

I'm mostly deciding to write this blog because it is conspicuously not writing my paper.  It's due on Friday, it's supposed to be 10k words, and thus far I have a very lovely two hundred fifty word introduction to show for all my hard work.

I probably won't post much on here.  Don't be surprised if it ends up being barely coherent rambling rants that don't go anywhere.  I am told those are my specialty.
