Origins (written in 2008)

I started a blog when I was a freshman at Cal. I figured it was time to get a xanga to keep in touch with my home-ies (high school friends). I was trying to think of a name and started gazing around my dorm room. Dani (the source of many of my inspirations) had slapped a bumper sticker on the front of our door, and like any good social floormate, our door was propped open. "PEACEMONGER". But of course, that was taken by some hippie fisherman (I don't really know, there are no posts on peacemonger's xanga). So I made it oOpeacemongerOo because I was still a teenager that thought wOrDs LiKe tHiS were so cool. But xanga is not case sensitive and reverted it to oopeacemongeroo. That looked dumb, but peacemongeroo sounded cool. Then I became a Peace and Conflict Studies minor. Coincidence? Not sure. Then I switched to Blogger because xanaga ads were getting annoying, I am a Google Apps fanatic, and Blogger is better.

I admit, I'm not an avid public blogger. I have four blogs that I use, so this one ends up getting the highly edited updates of my life, funny stories, and "ooh shiny!" moments. But I hope you still enjoy it.
