waiting game
blehf.
econ is done. unless i hear otherwise, there's nothing more i can do to save face.
english is tomorrow. i hear there has been some serious ownage by the prof on our essays. i'm sure she had a field day with mine. and that similar ownage will happen on the essay that is worth 60% of the final. 'scuse me whilst i vomit.
music is also steadily being chugged away at. almost done. hurrah.
H'ok. now for the fun stuff. i twitter. which essentially is microblogging. joy. HOWEVER. i follow wil wheaton on twitter. sometimes he links gold, sometimes shit. This case, was gold.
i'm now a new huge fan of the waiter, basically a rant/blog about the life of wait staff. He recently wrote a book, and blogged on the difference between writing a blog and writing a book. It's a good read. you can find it here .
something said got me thinking. the nature of a blog, to many, is the "school sucks" kind of thing. see above drivel on the "epic to me finishing degree quest" that i'm on. That's exactly it though. it's a big deal, to me. probably to no one else.
I'm ok with that.
the idea of using a blog to vent or chronicle tidbits of my life is kind of what brought me here in the first place. rarely do i actually care if people comment, and even more rare is the event that people come up to me and say "hey i read _____ in your lj. **insert random comment stemming from that. continue discussion.** and i'm not terribly torn up about it. if nothing else, i read over it from time to time. it's interesting for me to see what i found important last month/year ect and how/if i overcame it blah blah blah.
interesting for ME.
i'm not looking to reach international infamy and acclaim because of my witty posts. i use this as a medium to keep in touch with people (LGBTA centre kiddies! *waves* i miss you!) and i have a few interesting communities that i haunt. nothing huge. but again, important to ME.
because i see it this way. its livejournal. essentially, it's a journal, that you post online. diary. whatever. i have a domain. it redirects to my other lj that i havent updated in over a year. someday i wish to make it a promotional site for me, but for now it's 15$ a year to keep my email address. schmeh. regardless, i don't mean for this journal to be read by people i don't know, because they don't know me, what do they care if i'm struggling with first year economics as a means to an end for my 4 year honours bachelor of fine arts degree? probably sweet fuck all. much like i could care less about details about their lives because i don't know them and frankly i can't care about everything. does that make me a bad person? no.
my point. i know i write long winded drivel. specifically drivel that likely doesn't interest a single one of you. in fact i'm surprised that people may still be reading at this point. purplemonkeydishwasher. however, it's an accurate representation of my current state of being. so if at any point you're like "hm, i wonder how she's doing" you can check here and read the insanity that i've jotted down. and get a general idea of what is chafing me to the point that i'd write about it. there's obvious details that i leave out, so if you need to know more you can prod and i'll fill you in as necessary, but for the most part it's a good indication. no post in a while? i'm likely busy. last few posts seem bitchy? i'm a curmudgeon. fact is, if i wanted to write with substance, no offense, but this probably wouldn't me my avenue of choice.
regardless. i thank everyone who reads this. i do read every entry that pops up on my friends page. i like that there are select few people who i follow, and every one of them i've met in real life. (except how many miles, but her journal is so fantastic that i can't not read it)If any of you have flickr accounts, let me know, because i love looking at peoples photos as much as i love reading their stories, and facebook as well, because i'm finding its one of the best things to keep in touch with, and twitter, for those people who want updates delivered to their phone.
as for writing with substance, i had an idea of beerstore daily darwin awards. i do collect enough entries that i likely could "blog" about them. perhaps in due time.
