"I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train."

Welcome to my first--and only--blog...
How awkward that sentence sounds coming especially from me! I have to admit that I never thought I would be doing something like this, but it seems that practicality and efficiency have ruled out the tangible journal. I was never good at keeping up with my journal anyway so it's of little personal significance. But ENOUGH of this mindless chatter!

My name is Keck, and I am currently an Eng.Lit/Art History undergrad hoping to record my cross-continental travel adventures throughout the next year. Please do not associate my majors with my typing abilities. I am certain that many grammatical and spelling errors will occur and would appreciate immediate pardon for all future mistakes :) The title of this blog is a literary reference, and I hope it provides a small--though eye-rolling--chuckle.

Naming a blog, however, is no laughing matter. It took me several days to decide upon the necessary title--and hence my eyes were opened to a whole new world of cyberspace concerns that would be listed somewhere between the craigslist killer and the youtube obsession. The title of our blogs, after all, becomes as much a part of our identity as the collection of smart alec t-shirts we wear with secret pride. For those of you who don't know what I mean, allow me to explain further. It's the haunting idea that a mere group of words--magical, mandy, kingdom--could permanently blemish our cyber identity--which, in these days, is seemingly soon to become our ONLY identity. After all, who will want to admit to being the blogger of Mandy's Magical Kingdom when we're 30?
