In honor of people moving this week’s topic is about weblogs. (Next week will be about the DVD
again, of course.) How long have you had a weblog? Do you have more than one? If so, how do you divide what you write in them? How did you decide which program or service to use, and are you happy with it? Bonus question for those who care to share: What’s your philosophy of blogging? Every thought that crosses your mind? Only very selected items? Somewhere in between?
I’ve had this blog/site/collection of ramblings since April 24, 2002, incidentally my parents’ 26th anniversary. My other blog, Aspire II is really the original Aspire, as it was started back in Nov of 2001, just when classes were starting to get hectic, Thanksgiving and the annual trip down south to Richland to visit the grandparents were right around the corner, and I was really starting to get excited for Lord of the Rings. Aspire II uses Blogger, because it’s free and I’m lazy. This one uses Greymatter, which I’m very happy with. Both have their idiosyncrasies, but then again, so do I. I try to write regularly… my record for this blog was last week, I think, when I blogged almost the entire week in a row. Then I went to the John Mayer concert and didn’t get back until the next day, lol. I have no idea what my record is on AII.
I write whatever I want to. I try to put in interesting things, links that have caught my eye, but basically it’s my place to express myself, and typing is a helluva lot quicker than writing it all out (although I’d like to have a use for the lovely LotR journal that Alex gave me…) Besides, all you fine people get to discover far too much information about me that you’d ever want.
See what I mean? Ramblings.
Even as I’m contemplating changing my Legolas layout for a really John Mayer one, I am getting inundated with LotR Stuff. Not that that’s a bad thing. I got the FotR dvd and the Art of LotR:FotR today, and my dad brought back home the LotR:FotR publicity cd. And I went to JoAnn Fabrics and bought some patterns to make a Legolas outfit for next year’s Comincon. And maybe a renaissance faire or two. Although my mom thinks I should make a dress like Galadriel’s instead. I’m for the comfort of leggings. Any thoughts?
So I have a year to make the costume(s?) and learn how to play guitar. Oh, and learn tagalong.
but, I am one step closer to getting a dvd player. This weekend is Preferred Customer weekend at Best Buy, so hopefully I’ll be getting one… *crosses fingers* I can’t wait to see the dvd!
I’m insane, I know.
Where do you find all these wonderful quizzes? Sorry I haven’t been able to post here. Been preoccupied with your other blog and the blogs of five other people. *lol* Internet is slow too so I’m equally bummed. What is the use of coming to work when the darn DSL isn’t working? 😉
Talk to you later hon.
Tuesday’s on time…
This-or-That: August 6, 2002
All about clothes!
1. What’s your personal clothing style…trendy or classic?
classic. casual. comfortable. I have to be able to run in it.
2. Do you shop for designer names or stick with the more generic brands?
generic, of course. it’s cheaper.
3. Work clothes: dressy or casual?
Casual, thank God. I can’t stand suits.
4. Days off style: dressy or casual?
gee, ya think… Casual!
5. Women: high heels or flats? Men: Wing-tips or work boots?
low heels. But preferably running shoes.
6. Do you have a large wardrobe, or just a few carefully selected pieces?
Many tshirts. everything else is pretty much selected.
7. Do you shop for clothing at stores or from catalogs/internet?
not really. I like to try things on when I buy them.
8. Are most of your clothes dry-clean only or machine-washable?
Rarely dry-clean, because who has a) time or b) money to get clothes to the cleaners?
9. You buy an article of clothing and realize it is all wrong for you when you get home. Return or keep it?
try it on again to make sure, then return it. Money back is always good.
10. Hats: yes or no?
yes, but I don’t usually wear them.
And monday is late…
PromoGuy’s Monday Mission 2.31
1. Ever considered just deleting your Blog and not doing it anymore? What
prompted that and what stopped you?
Considered it, esp. since I have greymatter at the other one, but there’s just so much fun stuff here. Yeah. (translation: too lazy)
2. How about a quick review of the last movie you saw?
Hmm. Officially in a theater? MIIB. Funny, silly, a pretty good sequel, I laughed. If you liked the first one, you’d probably like this one too. Next movie I’ll see is Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Yes, I know I’m obsessed. You should be too. Wet elf!
3. What’s your favorite gadget? Are you lusting for any new ones? Will you ever
be satisified???
I need a dvd player. But my gadget is my laptop. Course, won’t be happy until I have the latest edition.
4. Saturday night I played “UNO” for the first time in years, I mean it
has been over 10 years since I played it. It was great fun, but it really made
me want to learn how to play Backgammon again. What “table game” do you enjoy
playing most with other people? Have you played it lately?
I guess Balderdash. We try to play it during the New Years Eve party. Can be quite hilarious… obviously have not played it since New Years, though.
5. About a year ago I was obsessed with loosing weight, and I dropped
pretty low before I got a handle on things (I’ve actually gained about 8 pounds
of it back, and it is still a struggle sometimes to not try to loose it).
Thankfully, I like fattening sweets and buttery popcorn too much to live like
that for too long. Have you ever been obsessed with something so much that it
was close to causing you physical or mental harm? If not, have you known anyone
else who has?
I don’t think so, unless you count training for conference or getting massive headaches attempting to be studious in college…
6. Did you grow up in a family or community that displayed racist or
prejudice attitudes? Did it influence you in any way, either toward or
away from those views? How did you manage to avoid it, or did you?
I didn’t grow up in that diverse of a community, but I was taught that diversity is good. I always felt bad though when I got uncomfortable around the deseg kids. I like to think I’m not prejudiced (hey, I know the value of a good track runner, and most of them seem to be black…) but sometimes it catches me, the whoa, they’re different vibe. I hate it. I wish I didn’t do that.
7. Good grief, I am starving! You got anything to eat around here?
Yogurt… but it’s my afternoon snack. You can’t have it.
oh, and btw… in 21 days I will cease to be 21. Kind of like how yesterday it was 22 days till I’d be 22… no, I’m not too subtle sometimes…
I know I’m obsessed. I know I could have just rented the VHS tomorrow and taped it. But I wanted the real thing. So I went to Best Buy and waited in line and bought it. Got a very nice tshirt and the FotR one-sheet movie poster. A pretty good night, all in all 🙂
I went to Best Buy and bought the VHS of LotR:FotR. Stood in line for a little over an hour, but I got a really cool tshirt and the FotR one-sheet movie poster. So I’m happy, and I know what I’m watching tomorrow night ![]()
Now all I need is a Legolas stand-up and I’ll be set, lol. I am seriously entertaining the thought of trying to make a Legolas costume for Halloween. Not that I’d be going to any parties or anything, but at least I’d have a reason to wear the ears.
I really want to learn how to play guitar. And I miss the piano.
Hey hon…Thanks for always visiting the blog. I see that your match is Orlando Bloom eh. Pretty cool.
A Josh Groban song!!!Yipee!
So if you listened to this radio program between 8 and 9 am and heard 2 John Mayer songs back to back (No Such Thing and Your Body is a Wonderland, of course) you could call in and win tix to see him in Raleigh NC. You had to be caller 98 though. Of course I am caller 92. Sigh. At least I got through.
