Drifting...

I'm trying to get my posting habit back. I was talking with Luke this weekend trying to figure out why blogging slowly phased out of my interests. He brought up my first days of blogging and the reason why I took it up in the first place: to improve my writing skills.

That point made me realize how far I've drifted from the original intent of this blog, yet I can hardly see it as a bad thing. I look back on my posts in 2004, and I almost cringe reading them. It just feels like I tried too hard. Well, that was the point, I guess.

Now the blog has turned into something very common - a space on the web where someone writes about the dailies in their lives. Sometimes about things very ordinary, but it's usually extraordinary (who likes to read about ordinary things all the time?). Most of the time it isn't written particularly well. But that's okay. I'm fine with that. I don't need to be intellectual in every post, but I darn sure hope I do in some of them...and I hope it's a fluke because it's just cool to be smart on accident.

Well, look at time. Now it's off to bed...off to bed...

h-yaaay!! another post. wow, lem.. you're really out doing yourself.

on a totally other note, I opened my cousin's blog as a tab as well as your own and the starting lines of this entry "talking with luke about why blog.. etc.." totally threw me off. "When did I talk with my cousin?" "What's she talking about?"... Am I getting senile?! No, it's your blog, but the confusion was very real.

Yup. I should post again soon. Glad to see these posts going up. The very fact that you are the one writing them helps to keep them from being very boring to the rest of us. Even if you don't feel the same way about ours *ahem*.

I didn't realize you were a horrible writer before you started blogging.

Heh, j/k.

We need to start planning what bar you're gonna take me to when I turn 21. :)
