The first: It's always awkward

It's inevitable: the first post on a blog is always going to be awkward. There's just no way to avoid it. When you've got this whole page of empty space, you know it's absolutely necessary to fill it with words immediately. But then you click on "New Post" and you sit there for several minutes as you think about what to write. And in the end...you post about how it's your first time posting. I'm assured that this must happen for everybody.

When you think about it, all first times are awkward, though. Your first day of high school was probably ridiculously awkward. If you were anything like me, I'm sure when that lunch bell rang, you stood in the middle of a crowded cafeteria, holding your tray of jiggling Jell-O, and not knowing where to sit. There's only one more awkward experience that we all have in common....
