hey all you fabulous readers out there, if you're reading this, please post a shout-out at the bottom of one (or more!) of my posts. respond, people! i'd like to make this thing as interactive as my webby skills will allow (which isn't much, for which i apologize, but post, dammit!). besides, i'm interested to see who actually reads this. even if i am just talking to myself, that's a good thing to know.
