(no subject)
Hmmm....so it's been months, maybe even years, since I've written a post here. I will say that I have good reasons for that: for one, I found new sources of blogging. Myspace and Blogger.com to begin with. They all serve different functions for me...those I dont mind everyone reading, those I'd rather no one read, etc etc.... So LJ just kinda fell through the cracks.
I dont really know what I want to say in this blog.
I just felt the urge to write.
Call me nerdy for having that urge, but writing is something I could not live without. And sometimes, the simple act of writing (or in this case typing) just makes me feel more at ease... Writing is my version of Yoga. And reading is my Pilates.
Maybe that's what I'll use this for...
I'll write about what I read.
I used to be a big book-worm. And in some ways, I still am. But as many of you college students and former-book-worms know, reading literature for fun in college becomes quite a challenge. Not only because of the time constraints, but because when you finally do have time to sit down and read, you don't have the energy to. That and it's so much easier to turn on the TV (oh the TV; I kinda feel sorry for it. It gets blamed for so much: violence, obesity, laziness, even the lack of drive to work like America used to in the good old days, when we were the manufacturing capital. Now we're just the bosses of the world. We're too good to lower ourselves and actually get our hands dirty. That's for the Mexicans and Chinese--which aren't even accepted in our culture. Ay, I digress.).
ANYWHO! So my LJ will now become my literary base.
My current literary project: Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen. Will report back later.
