Who is imp?

Do you really care?

I'm fearful of creating a purposeless blog. I have blog-envy when I read other bloggers' robust posts in which they devote themselves wholly to a topic of supreme importance.

I will tell you what I'm not:

--I am not a famous, slightly wacky comedian claiming I faked my death a few decades ago.
--I am not trying to raise money for an artistic or business venture, seeing as that would require a plan and plans aren't my strong suit.
--I am not trying to urge you to random acts of kindness in which you throw some dollars my way so that I can dig myself out of debt. I do, however, have debt. But seeing as I got myself into it, why should you dear readers (are there any of you?) get me out of it?
--I am not somewhere important, writing defining insights on the world we are living in. I am not in a wartorn desert, nor am I in the dusty bowels of the U.S. capital, observing the ravages of the current administration. I read the news, so you might not escape a political rant or three, but if you agree or disagree, just realize you're neither identifying nor scorning anyone of real power or influence. (Well, that one vote, which is important.)
--I have no friends in cool, up-and-coming bands, I don't partake in much exciting celebrity-laden nightlife and I don't have contacts in the publishing industry. However, I have good taste in music and friends in several undiscovered and cool bands. I do read celebrity-laden journalism (who doesn't?), and I would thrill to actually make some publishing contacts -- if not to publish my stuff than at least to give me free promo copies of books.

What I hope for imp_perfect is to show what it means to have an imp in one's life. An imp, you see, is mischievious and gets into everything. Maybe imps are a bit fickle, but they never run out of interests and curiosity. This isn't to prop myself up in any way, but more just to let potential readers know that, if they want a day-after-day dissection of subjects that fall into the same general topic area, well, forget it.

Perhaps, too, you'll realize that imps could be a little more dedicated to the task at hand. And they could be a little more consistent. I may piss you off. I may see deep into your soul one day and yammer on about unflattering (not naked) pictures of Paris Hilton the next. I may be a picture of grammatical correctness, well, a lot of the time. But I may be the antithesis of an organized writer. I may prattle on endlessly. Or I might end things too abruptly.
