Or as the unfashionable say, happy holidays.
It's January 1st and that means three things: 1. It's a new year! 2. Resolutions, and 3. I'm overtired from being up late last night
Somewhere between watching Zero Punctuation that I never got around to and playing the dirt cheap games I got from the Steam holiday sale (Steam is my new love by the way, and I may just want to snuggle up with my Steam client and play my pile of new games for a while) I went to church this morning and gave some thought to New Year's Resolutions. What's that? I put thought into something that could lead to self improvement? Yes, I'm really losing it. Forgive me.
Back to the point though. I made a (unnecessarily lengthy) list of (doomed to failure) New Year's Resolutions and among those resolutions two in particular should matter to you, my devoted and adoring reader: 1. Blog daily, even it's as short as posting a comic and my thoughts, and 2. Write at least 1000 words a day. Oh, ouch, 1000 words? How is that possible? Well, if I was a real writer and would stop being such a wimp I would have been doing that much long ago anyway. But now I am resolving to do it! So now on this blog I will always have a new post and it may be up to 1000 words or more! I can just tell that the many people who have faithfully waited for another blog post from me are just squealing in excitement!
All sarcasm aside though, honestly, I'm just nervous. I haven't blogged consistently since going to college. That's three and a half years. I'm afraid three and a half years of writing education has ruined whatever writing talent I may have had back then. Really, I only felt I could return to blogging when I remembered that my posts don't get imported to FaceBook anymore so I don't have to worry about anybody reading them. Geeze, I never used to be this insecure. I guess writing publicly again will be good for me.
Anyway, the nice thing about returning to blogging as a 21 year old with a few years of writing education is that I've learned to pace myself. I know that I'm planning to blog every day, so I know I can save some things for tomorrow. I do have a lot to write about though. I mean, 2011 was awesome. I engaged in battle with a Statistics monster, I infiltrated the student senate, I became a top chef master, I began a hobby as a bumbling wedding planner, and I became an investigative journalist. Of course all those things will sound a lot less exciting when I actually write about them, but trust me, just pretend I really did fight a monster made out of pure, dark statistically horrifying academia and it will be awesome. So stay tuned, you've got a lot to look forward to. Tomorrow I will post about what Jenny, my nefarious female counterpart, and I did to celebrate the new year. Much epicness will be included.
Until next time, this is everyone's favorite blogger trying to get back into the swing of things,
Chris
