A general, broad, opening blog to warn you about what you're getting yourself into by reading this

Alright so Hither just started a blog on here, and being the conformist copy-cat I am, I decided I might as well start one up as well... an adult blog, if you will. LJ's for teenies, blogger/blogspot is for google-loving adults who are too lazy to check for updates on separate websites but will check their google reader for all their blogging needs...

As a typical blog-starting entry, I feel like I should say what I plan on using this for... but why do blogs have to have a purpose? Can't I just write whatever the hell I want and not care if it fits some theme coursed throughout them? The theme is me. The story is me. If you need a label (because you're just that sort of person that has to define everything) than I guess it could be something along the lines of
amused ramblings of a 20-something female, trying to make a life in film central LA

or
how to work 3 jobs, juggle multiple guys, and still be poor and single

or maybe
I am an optimistic pessimist, an insecure egoist, and a walking contradiction

Pick one, make up your own, disregard titles and labels altogether, I don't care. The point is, I never know what I want to write about, if it's emotions, events, poetry, photography, film... and half the time I won't know until I sit down and start writing. (BTW I really need a desk, it helps so much with the "sitting down and writing" part... maybe I'd write more of my novel if I had a desk... now I sound like "Confessions of a Shopaholic" but I digress...)...

As for today, I'm sitting in a little windowless room with one of those half doors, walls a dirty off-white from years of grime and angry Pages, their broken dreams and discouragement tainting the room with soft hatred. The pitying eyes of full-time employees as they pick up their paychecks that are at least 4 times the size of mine bore into me as they try to make small talk and save me from my confinement. 2 more hours to go.
