I’m not going to lie. (What a lovely way to start a new blog with, eh?) ((As soon as I typed ‘eh’, I suddenly feared Jacob’s accompanying shudder with this word that I used to overuse)). I’m starting a new blog to be one of the cool kids again.
I used to blog. Twice, actually… First here and then here. As a youth, I was an avid journal keeper, but it took reading my beloved Girl’s blog to get me to publish these ideas online. I bring all this up as some justification as to why I must begin again with the blogging. I would be a liar, however, (and remember, I said there would be none of that earlier) to say that I wasn’t recently inspired by the likes of these ladies: Ms. Snapdragon and Ms. Brilliant.
I have to start fresh. Just like opening a gorgeous smelling new journal, I must start with a new location leaving what was written behind. I want to build a new relationship to the process of writing and collecting these writings. I have been realizing that my life is desperate for some discipline. Can this blog of lofty thoughts and painfully artsy aspirations be my new ritual?
So thanks ladies, for being good role models. I can use some.

Welcome aboard, dearest. I must say that if C and I are your role models, you are in some trouble :)
Hello! Oh... maybe I should make a new look to my blog and get inspired too :)
well yeah... it's been so long for me, i kinda feel like i'm starting anew. yay!
you may dream in grids, but you *live* in mod circles.
glad you're here.
Do you still keep a journal?
Blogs seem so special to me because they fill a niche that just didn't exist before. No one (generalization, sure) ever writes in a journal and then just hopes people read it. Journals and diaries are so private.
Was there a place to write mundane thoughts that might otherwise go in one's diary or journal but are meant to be public before blogs?
Anyway, glad to have you writing more. Anything which can connect me more to your life and thoughts (besides a phone, "eeee-vil phone") is a good thing.
