Hello there!

Welcome to my new blog site. Some of you may have come here through links I’ve sent out, in early attempts at self-promotion; others of you may have stumbled upon the site randomly, and may be wandering around scratching your heads, going, “Where am I? Fishing for what? And who is this Bri person anyway?”

Well, in answer to the first question: I’ve kept a blog (of sorts) for several years on LiveJournal. However, now that I’m out of college and I have more time and resources (i.e. money to pay for web hosting), I’ve decided that it would be good to establish a “real blog”. I want to practice writing things that are interesting to read, even to people who don’t actually know me! (Whereas I used LiveJournal more as a social networking tool, to keep up with friends from high school and whatnot.)

The site will include more than just the blog, eventually; I plan to add galleries to show off some of my art experiments, including my undergrad honors thesis in Electronic Literature.

About the name? The impulse behind “fishing for water” was the idea that trying to blog — or to write anything, really — is like fishing for water. You might catch a few drops that fall off of the line, but it’s nothing compared to all that’s left in the sea. Also, it was the name of my LiveJournal, and I just like it. And finally, I’m a vegetarian, so what the heck else am I going to fish for?

Note: I’ve imported a couple of recent entries from my LiveJournal, just to get things kicked off on this site. So those are the posts you see below. But this is the first post made directly to this new site.
