Breaking News Update:

I've realized the futility of trying to have a blog when I'm feeling uncharacteristically uncreative and defeatist (okay, maybe just uncharacteristically uncreative) -- it becomes meaningless, exhibitionistic drivel.

If you want to know what's going on in my life, ask me! Seriously. In the time you just spent checking this blog, you could have e-mailed or messaged or called me and asked how I am and what my plans are for next year, as of this second. So do it.

UPDATE-UPDATE: tessalike.livejournal.com for pointless meanderings. If you care.
