Teh begining.

I thought I'd start this display with quotes from people much more incredible than me. It symbolizes well the ideal I'd like to hold myself to. (Yes, I said that correctly. Ideals I'd like to hold myself to. Grace or beauty I wish I had the strength to push myself towards.)
 
It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them.
Mark Twain (1835 - 1910), Following the Equator (1897)
 
Self-reliance is the only road to true freedom, and being one's own person is its ultimate reward.
Patricia Sampson
 
To know what you prefer instead of humbly saying Amen to what the world tells you you ought to prefer, is to have kept your soul alive.
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850 - 1894) 
And then I will put a picture of myself up, in order that the magic is complete.
See? I'm in there.
I won't disappoint you after some time. It'll take a minute to get the ball rolling, but I'm sure there will be something worthy of skimming once in a while.
I'll try to be concise. I'll try to make it easy to read so you don't have to pay that much attention. 
We write because we want to stay alive. We want to know that we've experienced something. We want to remind our future selves of who we thought we were and were we thought we'd go. 
And since I live in a fantasy world sometimes, this book is also about how the world falls into chaos, and the man who saves it from destruction.
Not really.
