I do not intend for this to be a blog of large words and introspection over coffee (I don't even like coffee; but I am at starbucks), but the day is gray, and those damned gray days have been known to put many a writer into the "funk of writing."
I do, however, have no idea what I actually intend for this blog to be. I've been wanting to start a blog for a while now, but I haven't because I feel like I'm too varying. I could have a blog about crafting. Or my wonderful relationship with my wonderful girlfriend (and all the problems therein because I am a girl, too). Or about how I'm trying to become a greener person and eat food without high fructose corn syrup or artificial coloring. Or a blog about my job (bartending), and my search for what I really want to do in life (teacher; writer; doula; small business owner; orca whale trainer). Or a blog with my writing in it.
So, I've decided to not simply have one vein to follow in this blog, but many. I know blogs don't tend to do that, so I've chosen Walt Whitman to back me up.
Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)

Take it up with him if you don't like my amalgamated blog.
So, hopefully that explains the title of my blog. I have a lot of parts, and I'm trying to figure out how to make them all come together. And I mean, c'mon. It just sounds really cool.
You know how I feel about Walt Whitman.
