Breaking in the new blog with a thoroughly unthrilling monologue

I know it may be annoying to have to go through a splash page before finding the blog now, but somehow, having that little screen just makes me more comfortable with writing again. It means that people who want to visit just to see how I design won’t be faced with my personal thoughts unless they purposely click. The new setup, however, isn’t a guarantee that I’ll necessarily be a) more interesting or b) less busy (with either legitimate work or being distracted by other pretty shiny things on the internet), but we can always hope.

There are so many things that I hadn’t been blogging about, topics that I was afraid to broach (including how I discovered early in the year that birth control pills and I really don’t mix well together), but since I’m working on self-improvement overall this summer, I’m also learning to be better about asserting myself (in appropriate situations, of course). My new mindset toward blogging is…I can always go back and give myself a kick in the pants for being stupid/whiny/fill in your own obnoxious attribute here later, so I shouldn’t worry too much about the quality of my entries. No one’s fascinating all the time…right?

Things to do this weekend: Harry Potter book release (YAY!) and Wordcamp! Plus, completely recover from my sore throat. I totally forgot to appreciate how much work swallowing, breathing, and speaking actually is, but thank you sickness, now I recall.

    Elea, one of the reasons I love you is even your splash page is classy and well designed. :) I like the minimalist look of this blog, it’s nice!

    I want to read the HP book, I think I’m going to get a copy. I like your newly edited page by the way.

    I just go the HP copy last night when it was released and finished it at 4 in the morning. I love the fact that you have decided to reinvent your blog so it is truly you. I agree that not everyone is fascinating all the time, and usually the things you find that are boring captures the interest of others. Ok maybe that did not make sense, but I am high on sugar :P . Anyways, I love the new blog layout because of its simplicity look (though I doubt it was that simple to make :D ).

    That is right. We all make mistakes and we are not perfect. So keep blogging whatever happens. :)
