I think I'm going to do a life overview sort of a post now. I was actually just considering recently how blogging became a lot more fun for me when I decided to treat it as less of a diary and more of an unofficial column. I've never been the type to keep a journal, possibly because I don't think I'm all that interesting on a personal level. I get ( Read more... )

I'm writing in my LiveJournal again, although I'm not entirely sure why. Old habits die hard, I guess. The other day, I was upset because the links on a post I had written for WordPress weren't working, and bethje and I had to leave. She pointed out that no one is waiting around for my posts, which I'm sure is true. I just WISH they were. Seriously, does ( Read more... )

Great, I'm being beset by trolls over on my WordPress. Look at the comments on this post, for example. Then there's this one, which is even more bizarre. At least Xmas Boy's comments relate to the posts, even if they're totally ridiculous. This Lynn person used a post about Chick Tracts to rant about radical Islam. What, does this mean stupid ( Read more... )

If there's one thing I can't complain about these days, it's not having enough to do. It's just that work and other obligations are always getting in the way, and when I'm at home all I generally want to do is sleep and write blog posts. I guess that's something, though. I just wish I received more feedback. It's not like I pour my heart and ( Read more... )

I have a bad habit of assuming that, if someone doesn't get back to me right away, it's because I've done something to offend them. I realize this is ridiculous, especially considering that I'll often take upwards of a week to respond to comments and such. So I'm both paranoid and hypocritical, I suppose. Really, though, there have been times ( Read more... )

Happy Martin Luther King Day! I suspect a good many are off from work today, as bethje is, so thank the Civil Rights Movement for that. {g} Actually, I'm off today as well, but not because it's a holiday. I just haven't been getting very many hours at Walmart recently, but apparently that's not just me. It's not like that dream I had last night where ( Read more... )

It's been a little while since I've posted anything here, hasn't it? Even though work and school are both only part-time, they add up. And in the time not devoted to those things, I'm usually either sleeping or writing topic-specific posts for my other blog. Those are more interesting for me to write, but apparently not more interesting for ( Read more... )

Mother's Day, eh? I called my mom last night to wish her a happy one, but she never returned my call. I really should visit her at some point, since it's been a while and it's not like she lives that far away. I am bothered that bethje doesn't want to go with me, though. Today, we went out to Applebee's with Beth's mom. I think we had the same ( Read more... )

I'm most likely not doing a video game post this week, unless I think of something while I'm at work. I've been known (well, known by myself, anyway) to plan out posts pretty much word for word while working, although of course they don't come out exactly the same when I actually write them. The Mushroom Guru posts were fun, but I've largely run ( Read more... )

As I've said before, I'm probably going to get my own Web domain soon. Knowing me, "soon" might well mean in a year or so, but it's definitely in the works. If I manage to get that set up, I'll have one more venue for posting stuff, and I'm wondering how you readers would prefer to see my updates. Also, I was thinking today about how I'll often ( Read more... )
