Well...when I first started this blog just before the start of freshman year I made myself a promise that no matter how crazy life got, I'd post at least once a month. I also told myelf that I'd never revise or edit an entry post-publication. Well...4 or 5 backgrounds and about a million titles/taglines later I've stuck to my oaths fairly well. Never have I ever edited content or fixed spelling or grammar in a post and never have I ever deleted a post due to backlash of any kind. I'd also managed to stick pretty well to posting relatively regularly...until this semeter. Posting effectively stopped in September, though I did manage my "once a month" rule up until December. I guess, in the end, 2006 changed my entire perspective, right down to my journal-writing ethics.
I'm still not sure if the change was for the better or for the worse. I guess that I'll be better off for the changes, even if I won't necessarily be happier because of them and I think that when you hit a certain age that comes with the scenery.
At the end of the day, I came out of this year with a new perspective, a favourite author and a theme song. Not a bad haul, I suppose.
And you know what? Between the lines of fear and blame I'm still the kind of person who's sucking up all their fears and worries and going to live in abroad for 6 months. I'm not ashamed to boast about that though I am kind of disgusted that my pension for quoting overly played songs has managed to stick it out through it all. Oh who am I kidding? I'm a bit of a tool and I love it.
PS: I still haven't decided if I'm going to start a new blog for my tenure in Scotland. If I do I will most certainly post the new address here and will more then likely resume writing in this one when I return to the States.
