Stin is very excited to have a shiny new webpage.  She almost feels like a real person now.  She is happy to share the random events of her life with all you fine people.  She doesn’t often talk this much in third person, but can’t get herself to stop now.

Stin has come to terms with the fact that calling yourself a “recent college graduate” becomes less true with every passing month.  That fact has started to horrify her.  She is working at a law firm to pay the bills.  It is consistently boring.  Stin should be studying for the LSATs right now.  Stin hopes to go to law school next fall, in order to achieve one of her many dreams.  Stin has many dreams, yes, but acknowledges that there can only be one reality.  However, Stin also acknowledges that she doesn’t often live in reality.  But that’s okay.  It’s boring there.

Stin has 2 bizarre cats, a fun roommate, good friends, and a beloved coffee maker.  Stin is generally quite okay with her life.  She lives in Chicago and is loving every minute of it.  Stin is also a displaced Texan, and is thinking about going back to school in Austin.  If she can get in.  Stin is pretty realistic about the whole thing, though.  She is often wistful for Taco Cabana breakfast tacos and Blue Bell Ice Cream.

“Stin” is a nickname imposed upon her by her friends during ye olde college years.  She used to dislike it, but now acknowledges that it’s pretty decent.  Stin is pronounced “steen.” Stin has a real name, but is choosing to bask in the anonymity of the internet instead.  This may cause Stin to become drunk with power.  Stin has many skills.  There is exactly one person in the entire world who would understand that joke and she probably does not read this blog.  Stin just bummed herself out.

Stin will use this space in an attempt to show how clever she can be.  She will sometimes be rather maudlin, but please don’t hold that against her.  She will also talk way too much about favorite TV shows, in ways that make her sound like she knows the characters personally.  Why yes, she does know how ridiculous she can be.  She also goes on rants which may or may not be of a feminist nature.  And if you say bad things about feminism, Stin may throw down.

Sometimes if you get her riled up, her voice gets really high-pitched and squeaky.  She turns into a frantic cartoon character right before your eyes.  It’s worth seeing at least once.  She also is quite nerdy and can randomly tell you the Latin etymology of words.  Sometimes she uses the words “microcosm” & “macrocosm” when talking about TV.  If you let her get wound up, she’ll never stop talking, so you have to cut her off at a certain point.  Before the squeak starts.

Stin likes laughing and making other people laugh.  She hopes you find this page to be at least mildly entertaining.  Just humor her.  It’s for the best.  Thank you, all, for coming to read her blog.  She is very grateful that you like to read her words.  She hopes you enjoy yourselves.

This blog is hosted by the fine people at Laughing Squid and uses the Wordpress blogging software, which makes Stin’s tech headache loads smaller.  The awesome layout was made using Artisteer software and Stin’s own genius.   If you want to read older, more pretentious entries please check out her old blog at Well, Here I Am.
