I haven’t felt this nervous since I lost my virginity. Mind you, that was so long ago I can barely remember it, and I’m quite certain that the lady in question erased it from her memory before she’d got her knickers back on. Anyway, here I am, all of a tremble, after years of pissing into other people’s blogs, now I am a potential ‘pissee’. Hitherto, never at a loss for words, now what passes for mind is a blank.
I suppose I could begin by providing some biographical details, but I can feel my eyelids drooping at the prospect, and anyway, if you are daft enough to follow this blog, you will no doubt pick up some clues on the way, because one truth is constantly demonstrated in the world of blogdom, that a writer gives away much more about himself than he illumines in others.
Actually, this being my first time (nudge, nudge, wink, wink), I shall treat it as an experiment in order to discover the finer points of Typepad and how it all works. “I shall return!”
I can say, in all honestly, that that was a superb opening essay. Well done!
