Blog swap!
OK. So I think I'm doin the blogspot thang!!
Here's why:
1. It's pretty. My blogspot blog is pretty, with a pretty brown patterned background thing and pretty calming beige entry things and my profile picture is this lovely late afternoon sunflower field thing from when I went fruitpicking. Mmm. Calming. Pretty.
2. It has LABELS! I am legit excited about this. You can do a little thing where you type in what each entry was about, and then let's say someone wanted to read my entries about my friends. Ooh! You just click on 'friends' and then you can see all of them. Very neat and compartmentalized. Heck yes.
(I'm already going crazy trying to figure out how not to give each entry fifteen labels, though. "Oh gosh, this entry is about my roommates, so click 'roommates', and I'd just had Tuesday dinner, so click 'Tuesday boys', but those are both my friends so maybe I should put 'friends', and I was at Wheaton when I was writing it so should I label it as 'Wheaton'? And, well, goodness, I mentioned a Psalm I liked so it's clearly a 'God entry'... and does 'birthday' need to have its own category?" Yes, this is what it is like to live in my brain.)
3. I figure I'll probably have a blog on HNGR, and I definitely wanted to start a new one then. So maybe I'll end up starting a whole new specific-for-HNGR one right before I leave, but it might be nice to have the year of HNGR-at-home/preparation tied in there...
So... I think you can find me on here:

I set it so anonymous people can leave comments, so don't forget me!!
