Weekly blogging has been going on over at my writing journal, but I hadn’t been cross posting them here until today. I’m sure I’ve said this before somewhere, but I feel like I’m wasting the use of my site. Meaning, I have my site, but I’m not using it.

My blog set up is pretty nice. I guess I shouldn’t be concerned about people commenting on it, because no one ever reads it anyway. The only comments I get are from robots or spam. I would love to utilize my site for something more than recording stats and the occasional opinionated rant. Right now my site is pretty much a very expensive image host.

I keep saying these things, but then doing nothing. I wish I had something worthwhile to say, or something more to offer. But then, my site is a personal one. I put some of my better pictures on my nearly abandoned portfolio. I need to update that badly…

Speaking of photography (complete tangent here), I’ll be taking a black and white film photography class next quarter. I’m actually quite excited to take it. Maybe I’ll buy a scanner and upload photos.

I keep getting distracted by the internet.

Anyway, if my life was more exciting and I had more worthwhile yet not horribly personal things to say, I would make an effort to use my site more. As it is, my life is rather dull, and unless you want to hear (read) me complain about people who drive me bat-shit insane, my posts would also be very dull.

Maybe next quarter, when I’m out and about and taking photos, I’ll write in here more.

OH WAIT. I have something. I joined a CLUB. Yes, misanthropic me has joined a club. Inadvertently, mind you. I wanted to get myself a Japanese conversation partner, and ended up joining a “friends” club that is supposed to help the Japanese exchange students be social with Americans. There are officer positions available, and given my rather horrid time in Japan because such a club didn’t exist at my university, I feel a sort of obligation to give these people a chance to speak English (while teaching me some Japanese). I think it’ll be a win-win situation. One can only hope.

That will be developing soon, so I suppose I can write more on that as it happens. Right now, I’m going to mix myself a drink and go be social with my pseudo-hubby.

This week’s goal was 200 words a day, 1400 words total.

This week was a complete FAIL. The only day I wrote was last Friday. I don’t even know what happened. I decided “Weekends off.” Monday was a highly emotionally charged day. A couple days were spent in the library from 6pm-12am, and Wednesday night was spent studying for a test. All lame excuses, but man… I feel pretty upset over my lack of words this week.

I should really work on finishing two short stories that have been lingering toward being finished for weeks or months now. I hope that this week I can finish those up, as well as put in some time revising a story I’ve been wanting to rewrite for over a year now. Meh.

Not doing well is good motivation to get back into that daily habit. I think I’ll start that now.
