Maybe this year...

Looks like I’ll be back, trying to actually keep up with blogging for more than two months this year. I honestly felt good about things when I did it last year, and I know that if I can force myself to write regularly, I’ll be glad that I did. I’m just very aware of how busy things get, and how crazy it is to try to balance work, family, my relationship, and still have time for myself – and that doesn’t even include blogging. I’ll try, though!

I just typed a nice, long list of goals for this school year in Microsoft Word, because the new version is so darn pretty. It was numbered and lettered with Roman numerals and everything, and then I pasted it here and realized that it doesn't work that way. I should've known. Is there a way to maintain formatting without having to type out the html for everything?

There are a couple of things I’m wondering right now. The first one is this: I posted that thing last night, and tonight, I have three comments. How do you people even find this thing? I don’t think anyone links to it anymore. Was it pure randomness? How did you find me?

Second thing I’m wondering: I know this makes me look like a total loser who can’t use the internet, but I don’t care. When someone leaves me a comment on my blog, do I respond on my blog as well, or go to their blog and post a comment there? Any online journaling thing I’ve done before keeps it all on the same page, but I have no idea and I feel really dumb for not knowing. I promise I'm good with computers. I even use Twitter and Tumblr and all that cool stuff. Still, this question is driving me crazy.

And now I’m going to find something to eat (cheat on my diet) and go to bed.

I never like how these posts turn out after I write them. Hmm.

Decisions, decisions...

Should I continue this thing? I can't decide.

On one hand, I only made it from July to August last year before abandoning it.
On the other hand, I really felt good about what I did write, and I think that if I can force myself to actually write, I'll be glad that I did.

I thought about putting everything on afrodiary and just having separate journals for school, personal, etc... but there I can't get as much response from teachers, and that's pretty valuable.

So... who knows what'll happen.
