I give in

Okay, I give in. I want to start blogging again. I miss it, and there are just too many things to talk about.

Sometimes I find myself going throughout the day saying, "Oh my gosh that is so funny, I'll have to blog it!" or "Wow, I never really thought about it that way; I should blog!" or "Man, my life is really lame, and I should blog it so that I can always remember how lame I really am." But then I realize that I don't blog anymore. And then I feel kind of sad...almost like I lost something. Something important to me.

I finally got semi-caught up on my journaling. Writing in my journal is tedious, odious and wonderful at the same time. I like doing it, because I like reading it later, but I also hate it because I write TOO MUCH about things that don't really matter, and then I get too tired and don't want to finish. In the end I fall way behind, and then I just stop writing because I feel like I can never catch up.

ANYWAY, I finally did it. I finally caught up. Granted it isn't as good or detailed as it would have been if I wrote in it every day, but I'll take what I can get. But as I was catching up, I found that several times I thought, "Oh, I'll just write about this really quickly because I already did a post about it on the blog--oh dang, I really hope I did do a post about this on the blog". Then I realized that although blogging isn't really a journal to me, it is still important as an ancillary to my journal.

Quick pause: Can we just recognize how amazing it is that the word ancillary just came to my mind, and that it is actually makes sense in the context I was looking for? Hot dang, I am good.

So, what I am trying to say is that I want to blog. I have been doing some fun things lately, and I want to make sure that I write about the events, before they are lost from my memory forever. Plus, I just like writing. So I'm going to do it.

Thanks for your support. Oh, and PS, I am making the blog public again now. I hate that private blogs aren't updated in blog lists. So, we'll see how this goes again!
