Hello world, indeed! What a wonderful time to enter the blogosphere than when i have no sure purpose or plan for blogging, other than to figure out what the fuss is all about.
I suppose it must be satisfying in some remote way to have my thoughts published on a global forum in an instant. To be honest though it is also rather scary. I mean, who really wants to know what I am thinking? Most of the time I’m not too sure myself.
I think I may as well start by giving some explanation of my blog title and a smidgen of background info on myself.
The Unfettered Typesetter
<who is suzy234? what am i about? what’s the deal with airplane peanuts?>
I am a lowly graphic designer maintaining the mostly-unswanky lifestyle in Columbus, Ohio. Columbus, believe it or not, is a pretty sweet place for support of the arts. I believe we are proudly know as the indie capital of the Midwest. I graduated from the Ohio State University <read here: “O-H!”> for a Bachelor of Science degree in Visual Communication Design. I’m pretty damn liberal but I do my best to retain civility with those of opposing views. I adore animals <i’m semi-regular vegetarian> and have a couple cats. I am unmarried, of Peruvian descent <on my mother’s side> and I enjoy traveling, sunsets, holding hands and long walks on the beach.
Here’s a look at what’s been inspiring me lately:
