Yep, I'm abandoning this. I've never been one to write about personal-life updates, so this thing has stagnated.
I'm starting up a new blog at wordpress focusing on my hobbies (and to motivate me to work on those hobbies more, by giving me somewhere to post them). Feel free to check it out or not, as you wish.
I'll still be keeping an eye on my HS/college friends blogs from here.
New blog: shiny things go lalala
