In the beginning there was the word, and the word was... erm...

I've never been good at first impressions.

I mumble and stumble my way through awkward conversation, appearing too aloof and disinterested in what the other person is saying because I'm distracted by my brain yelling, 'dear God, please don't think I'm an idiot!' I come across as some sort of twit.

Fortunately it doesn't stay that way forever. The pointless rambling, complete lack of common sense and clumsy flaling of limbs seems to grow on people until I've secretly coerced them into thinking being friends with me is a bloody good idea.

I hope that's what happens with this blog! One day it might turn into something magnificent and profound, but imagine this first post to be the crap chat-up line that starts the relationship off.

Sure, you might be reading this thinking, 'well this is a waste of five minutes', but I promise you that third, fourth and fifth impressions are much more fun. Also, I had to pop the proverbial cherry somehow! (I've owned this blog for a good six months already.)

First impressions may be the most important, but for now I'll just stick with this:

Hi, I'm Jenni. Nice to meet you.
