Seriously?

I have always made fun of bloggers. And yet, here I am. I am a Ph.D. student and I study political rhetoric - which might mean I'm boring. I'm not sure anymore. My friends tell me they can't wait until I have children because it will be awesome to meet a three year old who not only comprehends but can employ sarcasm. Whatever.
