Interjections! I mean, introductions.

I have a very bizarre sense of humor. I hope that when you read the title of my blog you were horrified just a little bit. Please send me e-mails telling me what a horrible person and mother I must be. For someone who puts as much stock in other people's opinions as I do, I sure do get a kick out of someone taking offense to what I see as a very clear joke. Of course humans don't eat their young. The picture of my daughter gnawing on her mittens is just icing on the cake, really.

The name for the blog is partially inspired by a webcomic I enjoy, Questionable Content, specifically this episode:

I had been trying to name my blog for two days and everything I wanted was taken. I tried for psychosemantic.blogspot so that I could be clever but it was taken. I tried all my old favorites, including bizarre German words and titles of Tony Kushner plays, btu all were taken by blogs not updated since 2004. I was pretty sad about that, but I ended up with MomNomNom which is pretty awesome, I think.

So who am I?

I am a 22 year old mommy and education major at St. Edwards University. I live about an hour north of Austin, TX and my interests include Live Music, Ballroom Dancing, Webcomics, MMORPGs, and making people feel slightly uncomfortable through sarcasm. I'm psudo-married to an awesome guy named Joshua, and a couple years back we created an entity commonly known as Sylvia. She's pretty adorable.

I started this blog because there's something about LiveJournal that sort of turns me off. I've usually blogged there, but have felt less inclined to do so over the last few months. Every now and again I get the urge to blog something and have nowhere to put it. I hope that now I have less of an excuse to do so.

Here are some topics I hope to post about in the future:

Why I'm not freaky enough to be a Freak, or Normal enough to be named Norm
An overview of my recent obsession with Webcomics
A review of Quiet Company's "new" album
My Problems with Christians (but only the creepy kind)
Sylvia and the Yip Yips. (Uh-huh! Uh-huh!)
Why I still have faith in the Public School system, and what that means for healthcare
Zen and the art of ignoring Feng Shui
Incarnations of Immortality: How Peirs Anthony annoyed me into forming an opinion on God

I guess if I can actually get all of these things posted within a month I'll be on the road to actually keeping a damn blog. Wouldn't that be a shocker?
