What to Say?

I suppose my first post on a new blog should be an introduction. My name is Josine Bressas. I am a 26 year old geek living north of Atlanta, Georgia, sharing my home with two roommates and three cats. I am a nontraditional college student (having flunked out the first time), and for much of my adult life I weighed 280 lbs. I am currently at 207, and I work at it every day.

I am majoring in Sociology with a minor in History. My passion is subcultures and groups. Any group at all. The Roma, Geisha, Heaven's Gate, polygamists, deep sea divers, the homeless, and occupational unions. If they are deviant to the norm in behavior and philosophy, I want to know about them. Even if they are the norm, I still want to know about them. Being a geek, my personal experience tends to be with geek groups such as Lolita and Larpers.

The name of this blog comes from my strongest personality trait : I wander. I pick up and drop hobbies all the time. I explore new places out of sheer curiosity and boredom. I never latch onto anything for long, but because of this, I've experienced alot of interesting things over the years.

In this blog, you can expect me to be talking about the things that interest me. Different groups and cultures I'm studying at that moment, conventions and festivals, as well as hobbies, philosophy, and activities I'm also looking into. I'll also cover crafts with the help of my fabulous crafty roommate, Cheri-chan, and non-geek things that matter to me, like homemaking, college, weightloss, etc. I won't be going into too much depth on anything, but it'll be a new topic every time.

My intent is to update this blog four times a week : Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, with Sunday posts often being about conventions, events, and festivals I attend.
