Welcome to Madcap Romantic.



Let me begin my first blog (I hate this word) by explaining why I chose "Madcap Romantic" as my blog (ughh) title. As any first time blogger can testify to, trying to come up with an original title that adds a personal flare is no easy feat, at least for the obsessive compulsive. Perhaps this is why it's taken me so long to actually begin. I stared at the screen for, no word of a lie, half an hour trying to come up with something smart and personal. Madcap Romantic emerged as an appropriate title because firstly, it fits my scatterbrained and fanciful modus operandi, and secondly it fit within the confines of Blogspot's character limits. Other contenders were "Musings of a Romantic and Slightly Obsessive Mind," which was way too long, and "The Obsessive Romantic" which I nixed because I thought people would think I was a stalker or something. Thus, the Madcap Romantic is born.



I decided to begin this little project for two reasons. The first reason is that I'd like a medium-- other than Facebook--to communicate my thoughts and life events with friends and family. The second reason is darker. This blog is the very place where I will submit to vanity and centre the earth's axis around me for a while. I will bask in the glory of my readership (however small) and revel in the fact (imagined or not) that people are vibrating in anticipation for my next posting.



Until next time.



Madcap Romantic out.
