this makes me self-conscious... and i don't like it.

in an attempt to avoid mass e-mails (which i can only write with jamie's guidance) and also share pictures that i feel may be of interest to some people (mostly my parents), i have resigned myself to starting this blog. it will undoubtably be cheesy (note the title). my apologies. the nice thing about this is that you don't have to read it if you don't want to, unlike mass e-mails! really, i'm doing you a favor.

i am now going to attempt to post a picture to make sure i know how:


this is my roommate. she is neat.


these are my friends. i like them.

i know how to post pictures now.
