People use birthdays and New Years to mark those times when they look back on the year they’ve had and the year to come. If last year I said I was looking forward to the year to come, I shouldn’t have. But it’s another birthday come round now, today. This year can’t be worse than the last.

I’ve never given much thought to blogging before this, but after working at the magazine and moving out here to Colorado, I think it’s a good time to give it a shot. Feel connected, organize my thoughts, give a little meaning to my days I guess… Yeah.

About me, then. What do you want to know? My name’s Katie. I just moved from Philly because I had to get away from that place. Cities were great but I need a little peace. Couldn’t really handle it anymore, you know? I passed through Colorado on my way west back in the summer of 2007 and I’ve been promising a return trip ever since. Be careful what you wish for. I’m 25, I like the outdoors, but mostly just for going on walks. I played volleyball for a few years in high school and I guess I still love it, but don’t have much chance to play anymore. My degree is in art, graphic design was what I wanted. It’s a good field but most days I still don’t feel like much of an artist. A designer, sure. But I’ve never really felt like an artist, just some dumb poser. Maybe that makes sense, maybe it doesn’t.

That’s really about it. If you’re interested in following along, I won’t tell you it’s going to be very interesting. If it’s anything like these last couple days, it might get kind of boring.

Anyway, signing off now, I guess. Until tomorrow?
