I, on the other hand, am totally fine with making my ignorance public. I've been an avid internet-goer since I was in middle school, and I'm used to living my life publicly. I think this is partially just my personality--I have no secrets--and partially the exposure over the years. I've used Livejournal, Facebook, Myspace, AIM, and back in the day, Prodigy chat for many, many years now. I am, as they say, an open book.
So the reason I haven't updated this is not that I see fit to abandon this blog. It's just that I haven't been in school, so my mind has been on other things.
What have I been up to?
Well, I was hired to work for the Halloween season for a couple friends who own a souvenir photo business, Dead Memories. This is one of those things that in no way relates to my future chosen career, but seemed like such an interesting life experience, I couldn't pass up the opportunity.
I celebrated my daughter's fourth birthday with my parents, brother and sister. She received a cute pair of earrings and a necklace from my sister, ensuring that she now has not only more purses than I do, but more jewelry too.
I realized that I like Billy Idol. Who knew? Both Pandora and Last.fm have proven to be fantastic at introducing me to incredible music I wouldn't otherwise have encountered. If it weren't for these sites, I wouldn't be aware of Morphine, Stars, The Knife or Beirut, either.
I did Trivia Night down at the Dubliner for the first time, and was hardly an asset to my team. I got the South Sandwich Islands mixed up with the Sandwich Islands. How embarrassing! I did however know that Reykjavik is located within close proximity to a number of volcanoes. My team still lost, but we had fun.
Mostly my days have been spent watching movies, going for walks, sewing and seeing friends as much as possible. School starts again at the end of the month though, so as we get closer to that, expect my mind to go to library-related topics once again.
