Together We Will Ring in the New Year

It seems strange that I am welcoming myself back to the world of blogging after a nearly four year hiatus from it. What could it be that would draw me back to the seemingly pointless activity such as blogging? Well, I’d like to think that it is because my boyfriend told me a lot of my old tweets were hilarious and that inspired me to do something without such a strict character limit. I’d like to think that is the reasoning, at least.

I know what the world may be thinking “Oh joy. Here is another blogger to waste more of my bandwidth. I hope they’re not going to cry about how their boyfriend/girlfriend didn’t call them last night or how someone at school started a new rumor.” There are very few things I will limit myself to writing, but there are a few things I would like to promise you that I will not do, blog-related.

I will try to reserve this space as an “angst-free” environment to spare everyone from another seemingly teenage blog used to chronicle everyday life and gossip that is unimportant to – well, let’s be honest – everyone. I do not promise, however, to keep my posts emotion-free. In fact, I plan on posting writings whenever I find myself in the mood to do so, and to me, there is hardly anything more emotional than writing. I will refrain from posting about work, since my job is rather boring. The only time I will post about work would be if something exceptional happened there which may or may not be related to my job directly. I will try to keep this from turning in to a journal-type blog. I know you readers do not care about my day-to-day life (and if you do, you probably need a life, too).

Edit 1/14/2011: I have decided that I will try to do a blog post at least once a week, though if life intervenes, so be it. Due to the fact that my posts are generally one single-spaced, 11 pt font, typed page, I will try to keep a fixed maximum limit of three posts per week. These times will be very rare and reserved for times where we have had a particularly interesting class discussion/project, or that I have done a lot of thinking. I just wanted to inform you that there won't be twenty posts a week with seven of them being in the same day. Rest assured.End of Edit

At the time, I cannot think of anything extraordinary to inform you all about. After all, I did just have my wisdom teeth removed and am still a bit groggy from the entire ordeal. Even that was quite uneventful; I didn’t talk out of my head, I didn’t have anything strange happen after surgery… Nothing. That must be a sign.

However, I’d like to welcome the New Year in with a blog, allowing myself to chronicle anything that I would like to remember. I would like to welcome you in taking this adventure with me.
