name change

Hello readers. I've decided to change the name of my blog from "Prufrock's Journal" to "till human voices wake us". The thing is...I was just tired of plain "Prufrock's Journal". It was a great idea when I started, and I'm very proud of my blog so far, but I need a change. If you don't already know, the name Prufrock comes from a poem I hold very dear to my heart: "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T.S. Eliot. I was introduced to this poem in English class junior year, and let's say that after that day I was never the same again.

Prufrock then became a sort of nickname among my group of friends, because I'd do Prufrocky things and have his sort of mindset. I still do sometimes. I think I've changed a lot though since then. And I think that I've sort of become a part of the "human voices" that Eliot speaks about in his poem. So, "till human voices wake us" is also from the same poem, it's in the last line actually. If you read the whole poem, the end is quite sad, and you might think, "That's a horrible line to title a blog!", but I really don't think so. I feel that "till human voices wake us" is a beautiful, hopeful string of words. There are a bunch of people out there who are literally zombies, going through the motions, caring about nothing, really, and I want to wake them up. There are many others out there who don't even know it, but they want to wake people up too. Because there is so much...So much to this world that you shouldn't sleep through. Okay.

So, this blog is pretty much my voice, genuine and pure and human, and all for you. Whether you're asleep or awake. Thank you, my loyal readers, whoever you are, those of you who comment or don't comment. Thank you for being a part of me, and I will continue to serve you loyally.

Your friend,
Elaine aka Prufrock aka nerd aka dork
