yeah, i'm old school.

this blog is yet another one where i complain about blogging. i've figured out my problem: i'm old school about my writing. i can't wrap my head around this whole writing online instead of on paper thing.
the thing is, i've written probably a dozen or so blogs - on paper. i'll have an idea and write everything down and tell myself i'll post it later that night.
it never happens.
so all my blog posts are written throughout my various class notebooks, waiting to be put up still. they do exist. . . not as blogs, but they are there. this post, in fact, originated on a piece of lined notebook paper in my Comparative Literature class during a lull in the lecture.
i'll have to work on getting those transferred from the paper world to the virtual one.


i have a couple things i'm going to try with my next couple blog posts that might make them easier to put up (any advice, tips, hints would be most appreciated.) 


1. if you hadn't noticed, this blog is written in almost exclusively lower-case letters. yes, i'm that lazy. but notice how the blog is getting written.


2. i like to play around with the text a lot, doing strikethroughs, underlined, italic, bold or colorful words. it helps break up the monotony for me, and is definitely a perk of blogging that can't be done with traditional pen-and-paper writing.


3. i'm going to try and have a little more direction to my posts. in my first one i was pretty non-specific on what i would write about, simply stating i wanted to get back into writing. but i need to stop complaining about how hard or weird blogging is and find some real stuff to talk about. i'm sure everyone reading would appreciate it as well.


so here's goes nothing as i attempt again to blog.
