What can I say?

So, I created an account on here, and I feel some kind of obligation to introduce myself beyond the picture in my first entry! It’s just so difficult to get back into the swing of this whole “blogging” thing. When I was younger and really into the internet because it was so new and cool, I read a lot of people’s blogs because I thought they were the sweetest people for knowing HTML and stuff. I made my own and wrote in it for a while. Then I got off of that jag, and everyone I know got into xanga and through like half of high school my friends and I (and lots of people I didn’t care for either) posted ALL OF THE TIME. A while ago I used wordpress, but that was very short lived.

Now that you’ve experienced a brief history of my blogs, I think I should talk about anything else because that was probably the most boring stuff I could have possibly said.

I’m not very hip, and anything I do that’s artsy is limited to loving HGTV and doodling little comic book type characters, so I can’t imagine this will be some kind of creative or commercial outlet. I don’t review things — I like it, or I don’t. I do enjoy reading a lot so maybe I will write about books I enjoyed? I guess that is reviewing in itself…

My days are all so similar, I would feel a total drag if I announced publicly on a regular basis about waking up, taking a shower, eating, washing the dishes, then hanging out with the same person all day, day AFTER day. Now that you know exactly what I do, we can never repeat it again, for there will never be a reason.

The problem I usually run into with blogging is that I want to write things that are personal and this is the internet. I don’t actually want to write private things on here. But I do want to write them. So the convenience of a keyboard versus a real-life journal is…wonderful, but limiting. I will try to keep a healthy balance this time around…or something. I don’t know what I am getting at.

So, this has been a little insight into, if nothing else, the way I write and the things I sometimes think about if I am not thinking about other things, which I am, most of the time. Hopefully I can keep this up and it will become interesting someday. I know I’ll enjoy looking back at least!

Fascinating: tumblr doesn’t recognize the word “internet” in its spellcheck.
