So, I Got Impatient and Already Changed the Blog Name

Pretty much what the title says. I thought of eggpuh as a username or website name a while ago (late at night while sleep deprived, which probably contributed to its silliness). I like the sound of it in my head, but it just looks so ugly written down. The irony and silliness does not outweigh the ugliness.

So now it's Jumper Creek (or jumper creek, maybe; I like how it looks lowercase). It's one of my dad's favorite nicknames for me, and I've always wanted to use it as a stage name or something, but I thought it could make a good blog title, too. But who knows; maybe I'll be the vocalist of a band of the same name someday if I can ever figure out how to write half-decent song lyrics! Anyway, hopefully I won't feel quite as silly sharing posts from this blog now.

Welcome to eggpuh

Welcome to my brand-new blog! I’m EGP for short, or “eggpuh” for even shorter—not for any good reason; I just think it sounds funny. I’ll include a little more information on my About Me page, but I probably won’t post many personal details, since this blog is just a place for me to post articles about whatever topic I feel like covering. However, my legal name is scattered around the site, just so I can prove it’s me if I use anything posted here as a writing sample. As of writing this post, I’m currently a full-time bachelor’s student in my final semester.

You might notice I already have three published posts dating back to December 2024. These were previously on another blog I created for a university assignment, but I liked a couple of the pieces, so I figured I would include them on this new blog, as well. I admittedly fudged some of the information on the RP6 post, since I hadn’t actually played Goat Crashers with my family at the time… but we did actually play a game of it over winter break (in which my family’s goats crashed a hoity-toity New Year’s Eve party and saved an ambassador to Uruguay from assassins with skillful goat dancing), and it turned out super fun! I still haven’t gotten the chance to play RP6, but I hope I can get a group together for it sometime soon… maybe this coming weekend or over spring break.

As far as future posts go, I’ll try to average a few each month, but it might be less (or a lot more, if I get on a roll). You can expect articles on games, fandom, wildlife, music, writing, and whatever else I decide to write about. There might also be some independent north-central/central Florida-focused news articles in the mix, or maybe I’ll create a separate blog or social media page for that; I’m a former journalist and don’t necessarily want to go back to professional reporting, but I also hate letting important local environmental and political issues go uncovered.

I’m not really writing for an audience right now, but, if you’re reading this, thanks! :)
