well, i'm not really sure what to write here. i have a myspace blog i almost never update. i have a livejournal i really rarely update. why should this blog be different? what can i use it for that's different? what do i say about my life that people want to hear? so many of you have something specific to post about, a theme, if you will (your family, your music, your fitness goals, etc). i don't have that. so i can consider what my days look like right now. or i can think about what really gets my engine going.

i am passionate about my radio show right now. i'm a new college dj. it's something i've wanted to do ever since i was sixteen and listened to stevie's show on WAWL. there's a romance to sharing the music you love with a sea of unseen, unknown listeners. there's a part of me that wants to be john corbett's character on northern exposure more than anything.

and so far, being a dj has been completely awesome. people actually listen to me - well, just friends and family so far, but who knows? i'm pretty decent at picking out music and really good with transitions between songs. i spend an inordinate amount of time planning my weekly playlist. i'm not great at patter yet, but it's coming along. i don't particularly like how my voice sounds on the air but i'm generally critical of how my voice sounds outside my head.

speaking of outside my head, i've been living in my head a lot lately. i mean, i've always had that tendency, but living by myself exacerbates it. only a few more weeks until i have a partner living with me again. as happy as that makes me, i won't lie - i'm going to miss the quiet. i love being by myself to think. but i do have to be pulled out of myself sometimes; i get peculiarly intense.
