Okay, just completed the blog part of my website. I was planning to add the previous entries of my “real” blog, and am still considering it. However, it would require alot of editing, so I think I’ll just start with this dual blog thing.
One for me and my personal thoughts, and the other, and edited version, for this website. No offense potential readers, but I don’t want to offend anyone!
At the time I had a journal that I had on my computer as a text file that I’d edit in Notepad. It was a place where I’d write about the difficulties I had with my mom and step-dad, among daily going ons. I assume that this is what I’m referring to here as my “real” blog. To my middle-aged chagrin, the file was lost not too long after. Of my website, I said of the time:
This website actually has no design purpose or motive. It just is. It is a product of my imagination at 3AM, whilst worrying for a math midterm. It has no commercial goals. You should find some interesting stuff in the links to the left, with a live webcam of my flat [well, not really my flat], some links to course material [wohoo! you might sarcastically think], and the newest addition of my online blog.
I don’t have many photos of myself from that time, but here’s a few. These photos were taken when I was 17 to 19:
It’s wild to me that the time elapsed between then and now, is the same amount of time between when I was born and when I started this blog. This does feel like long ago, but not a lifetime long. Time is weird.
