write?

i've always enjoyed writing. i've indulged my joy by taking unnecessary courses in my undergrad years, and as a result of such courses have come to the conclusion that my writing isn't as good as i thought it was (according to my creative writing prof., my strength is fiction although he doesn't know that all my "fiction" was based on real-life events.. so that's that). i also reached this conclusion by reading over some of the things i wrote from age 5 to age 12. (ambition and angst apparently are long term friends of mine).
i know this blog doesn't offer any epiphanies or even proper punctuation and grammar. what it does offer is a sarcastic view of an off-color world that is my life, and a chance to express myself in a (sometimes) more poignant way than when i speak in person. i like to write because i hate to ramble, but i have tons of thoughts flowing through my mind and writing helps sort them out. i write because this way you can choose to read me (my thoughts) instead of being obliged to listen to me (my voice). i write because it feels right.
