New blog home

I've made the decision to move from LiveJournal to Blogspot mainly because I can't stand having those pesky ads on my blog, and also there were limited layouts at LJ. I don't need the community aspect, and Blogspot is more modern-ish. I've imported all of my old posts, but consider those a me of the past.

I decided not to go to get henna done after all. Diana said she was coming, then said ohnvm last minute because she needed to do homework, and I didn't want to trek all the way in the cold to the campus center, alone, get henna done, walk back with a semi-frost-bitten hand.

Lots of Chinese homework tonight, since I'm going to try to do it all in one day again. 老师 decided not to give us the vocab quiz today because we all looked like it was really painful to do the group exercise she handed out in class. I guess we looked that tired. She gave it to us to practice anyway and I realized that I could have done it just fine. Oh well.

About Blogging

 I just saw a really good TED talk by Mena Trott about the blogosphere.  She makes some really good points about how she thinks the best blogs are the personal ones, because there you read about people that you'll never see in the news, and it's a great way record your daily life and have your future self/kids/whatever look back on it and see what you did and how you were like.

I have to say, it was really tempting for me to jump the gun and create a new Blogspot blog that would just be my personal life. My Weebly blogs would stick to relevant updates for those who know me, but the new Blogspot blog would just be for myself, or at least my closest circle.  I was reminded that I had sort of felt the same way about having multiple email addresses, but now realize that having too many defeats the purpose and makes it hard to keep track of them.  But I still have 3 main ones, and an extra one just in case.

So.  I suppose I should rebaptize this blog and make it officially more of a personal daily-ish blog with reflections and events.  Perhaps I will find time to post every day, or maybe not, and it won't be for the readers out there, it will be for me and those close to me who want to know about some of the mundane things in my life.  But mostly for myself.

I haven't updated this one since June, apparently.  I've been working a lot on my *other* blogs (>_<) and being a senior in college.  And knowing me, I will probably spend a few days diligently blogging, then forget about it for weeks again.  We'll see how this works out.
