Multiple blog posts...

Yes, I will write multiple blog posts in a day and I will not care!

Basically, I come up with a lot of little thoughts in a day and as much as I love Twitter's ability to take my random thoughts and force me to condense them into 140 character snippets as much as I want, sometimes that's not enough. Like now. Venting my frustrations about not having enough space would take a series of tweets and I'd rather just write it all out now.

I'm in a love-hate relationship with Twitter right now.

Also, I like the blog's ability to take as many entries as I want, with one entry per subject, but it is all condensed, rather than if I took a notebook and wrote seperate entry after seperate entry and ended up with dozens of sheets of paper only half or a quarter filled. (Yes, I could write multiple entries on the same page and save paper, but call me picky... I don't like doing that. It just looks cluttered to me. And, this way, I'm not using paper at all! Save the trees!)

Quirk Classics...

Ah, "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies." Very quirky, very much tongue-in-cheek, but very fun. Basically the original text of P&P, but with zombies thrown in. The result is pure win.

Another in the series, "Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters", recently came out. I've yet to read it (though that will hopefully change soon), but I had to laugh at the trailer.

I realized...

... a lot of things, actually. Here's just a few.

- I have a lot of things in a day that I want to say/write and never do in a) my journal because it takes too long to handwrite it out, b) my YWS blog because I'm afraid that if I post about a bajillion blog posts a day, I'll take up most of the blog forum and annoy people, c) here because I sort of forgot this existed.

- That I have no less than four blogs: 1) my YWS blog, which I update at least daily. 2) my writing blog, Opening the Vein, which I intend to revive. 3) my NaNo blog, which will probably go away after NaNo. 4) This blog, which I also intend to revive.

- I have a lot of things in a day that I want to say/write and actually do. I fill pages of  notebooks with things to say. I have a Twitter that I post semi-regularly on. I have the aforementioned blogs. There just seems to be so much more that I don't say. (Hence why I have taken to carrying a pocket-sized notebook around with me that has no particular purpose other than being a catchall receptacle for my thoughts in order to preserve them for future expansion.)

- The more I learn, it seems, the less confident I am to speak on my knowledge. It's like the more I learn, the more I learn that there are people out there who are so much more knowledgeable on the subject than I am. It sort of makes you feel humble.

- Safety is for ninjas too.

- I enjoy non-sequiter humor. I enjoy clever humor. I also enjoy random things. Clever non-sequiter random humor is the very best.

- I am in the apathetic stage of stress.

- I love The Hunchback of Notre Dame. And Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. (Though those aren't so much realizations as memories.)
