Bio:My name is J. Jacob Ford. I am a clueless, tactless, hopeless, and senseless idiot trying to pass as someone with a small chance in this world. I am lazy, and stubborn, and indecisive, and timid, and I procrastinate far too much, but if there's one thing I can do, it's write about it all. I am a writer and a devout blogger, and I make it my goal to be as honest as possible, no matter how embarassing, painful, or ugly. As Henry David Thoreau once said, "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." Not me; I write about it.

I'm also exrremely self-conscious, which is why I no longer blog under the name [info]odclay--there was a time, oh, way back in early 2004 when I was a sad little bastard, convinced that I was in love and that this was somehow significant, which led me to join LiveJournal in the first place so I could write about how sad I was. But some time passed and I got over it, and now, years later, I think I've recovered enough to leave behind that old journal with its silly history and start afresh. No more of that emo bullshit from 2004, no more of that repressed sexual confusion from 2005, no more of whatever I wrote about in 2006--just lots and lots of, oh, whatever-you-will. And lots of stuff about books.

Welcome to Jacob Ford Version 2.0--not an improvement, just a different package.
