Ivy's Blog *ta-dah*

After setting up the main blog for the band, I've decided to set up a separate blog for myself. 

Despite my total aversion to social media, I have actually enjoyed posting about the band and what we're up to on there. And while I do genuinely believe that it should reflect us as real people, my only concern now is, especially after the past week, that I don't want shit that I deal with to start seeping into that and muddy the waters. 

As I mentioned on there, I deal with a lot of my issues via writing music and lyrics, but also having a medium that isn't verse - chorus - verse and laden and festooned with every curse word I can get away with has also been quite cathartic.

So while I don't ever want the band collectively to shy away from that, I don't want our on and only portal into the world to be all about *me* and start ending up with mini essays that are not tied into the band.

So yeah, things related to PEN-15 and keeping it real on the main blog, me yapping about all my shit that's going on and what I had for breakfast on here (oats with soy milk and bananas fyi).

In the words of Suzannah Jane Thunderbaker, "I guess this could be fun..."
