I've decided to start a whole new one, partly because I abandoned the old one for so long it seems ridiculous to go back to it and partly because I just want a new one, that I can start from scratch- also I like this name better, I have new shit I want to write about, and I feel much different from when I had the older one. I've left the library, in a sense- is that cheesy? Don't care. Either way, I still have school to worry about, I still have a horrible problem with caffeine and getting things done on time, and I'm still probably more likely to be awake at 3 in the morning than at 6 in the evening. I've moved back to the Okanagan, I'll probably always have issues getting myself out in public, and I WILL be a runner someday, damnit. So some things are the same.
But I'm also a work in progress, and I feel like... boots. Boots instead of books, if that makes the tiniest bit of sense to anyone. Birdcages also kind of mean a bit more to me right now than trying to be witty or clever at random moments, and seeing as how I haven't actually been in the UBCO library this entire semester (except for that one class that was mandatory), I don't feel as though I can properly claim to be "in" the library any longer. I'm also going to try and be more honest- am I off to a good enough start yet?
I missed having something to write in when I neglected my other blog, but at the same time I didn't like the feeling of needing to be posting regularly. So instead, I'm going to say that it's my goal to post at least 3 or 4 times per week, but that if I don't then screw it, and I'm going to make myself some hot cocoa and try again later instead of agonizing over the picture of all my imaginary readers tearing their hair out in frustration at my lack of regularity.
Poor, imaginary readers. Have some cocoa. Heals all ills, I promise.
So yeah- my new blog. All new and not shiny at all.
... did I mention I hate *hate* how this blog looks? I've gone with this template as a temporary necessity because I have no time at all to fuck around on the internet looking for something better- I have a bunch of ideas and links saved, but that'll have to wait. Hopefully by the time anyone comes around looking for this thing it'll be less awful on the eyes.
*edit*
Just so no one's confused, I had a previous blog called "Snark in the Library" that I wrote in during my first few years of university and abandoned frequently for long periods of time. There was nothing in particular wrong with it- it was whiny, inspirational, creative, depressing, and gave me something to do at 2 in the morning when I should've been sleeping- all the things a good blog should be. Still, I outgrew it; I used to be a lot more school-oriented, I might as well have been a hermit, and my sense of humor was much less bitter than it is now. So now I have this instead, which is better. I think.
