Beginnings

I've decided to start a blog rather than just allowing my comment history on reddit to stand in for my personal diary. Not that that isn't already more or less my diary - but it leaves a lot out. It only documents those aspects of my life where my personal interests either mesh or conflict with the hivemind, and as I am more than just a subset of popculture, I'm hoping this blog will allow me to develop those other parts of who I am. As to what those parts are, I don't even know myself, except to say that at least some of what I write here will involve linguistics, social and cultural theory, the stories of Christianity, and cooking.
