Happy NaBloPoMo!

Welcome to NaBloPoMo - National Blog Posting Month.

All a blogger has to do is post once a day for the month of November. I tried it last year but a week long trip to Disney World kinda put a cramp in my activities.

This year I think it's going to be equally hard - not because I'll have trouble finding things to say, but because I am 1) leaving the job during which I did most of my posting (shhh...keep that on the DL) and 2) I'm moving over the next week which means: who knows when I will a) have a computer plugged in at any given time b) have internet access turned on and c) have the time to get to use either. I'll give it a whirl though.

Last year was the first year of NaBloPoMo and, as things on the internet tend to do, it has grown exponentially since then. NaBloPomo has it's own social website now. I even have Blogger friends! Who knew? These are people who I have "met" via blogging, or at least by visiting their blogs (many because of NaBloPoMo last year) and commenting now and then. See that NaBloPoMo widget in my side bar? Click on that and you can see my profile and my friends. Hi Blogger friends! I feel so loved.

Good luck to all participants and to me. I'll need it.

Best of luck this year!

My problem won't be accessibility but more just remembering;>

Bah! I seem to have lost my mind. Let me try that comment again...

I found you during NaBloPoMo last year and I've been a loyal reader ever since (sorry I suck at commenting). I'm glad you are giving it another whirl this year.

Happy blogging! Good luck!

Oh dear! A trip to Disney World put you out of the running for NaBloPoMo last year?

I'm in the same boat this year. I hope I can manage it!

Good luck!

P.S. Love the blog title!

Gone by the wayside

I have no idea if anyone is reading this anymore. If you have been loyally checking back now and again I applaud you. At one point this blog was a therapeutic outlet for me. I'm glad to have a chronicle of my experiences during this time of my life. Now, however, instead of a creative outlet it's more of a nagging reminder that I should be posting and this girl does not need one more thing on her "To Do" list. I'd love for you to explore the archives if you so chose. If you have already done so, here's a brief update: Friendster Guy and I are still together and co-habitating. We are in domestic, but still unwedded, bliss (that status could be a post or two in and of itself, but, as I've just said, I'm done with that.) We're so domesticated we're in the market for granite countertops. We also just returned from an Aussie/New Zealand vacation and if 8 days in a tiny RV won't solidify (or destroy) a relationship nothing will. We're stronge

Making Eye Babies

Colleges often have a lot of rules the students need to follow. After all, a bunch of 18-21 year olds can't really be expected to self-govern on their own, at least not 24/7, no matter how vehement they are that they can do just that. (I was 18-21 once myself so I know it's annoying to hear that. I don't mean all 18-21 year olds individually, I mean when they all get together in one place.) Then there are Christian Colleges which have more rules, often based on biblical teachings and moral dictates. Further down the spectrum is Bob Jones University* which considers the Christian colleges just too darn liberal so they piles on a bunch of morally based codes of behavior. Not to be outdone by the crazy liberal heathens at Bob Jones, Pensacola Christian College goes hog wild with the rules and moral imperatives and makes the Taliban look almost liberal. An article in the March 24th edition of the Chronicle of Higher Education explains some of the rules and regulations the stu

Everything old is new again...

It's been 10 years since last I posted here. Ten. Years. I guess it is true that things on the internet never disappear. I'm honestly shocked I was able to log in. A quick update: Friendster Guy and I split up, amicably, 2 years ago. Since then I've dated 3 gentlemen, the most recent of which lasted a year but once again, ended. Amicably. I'm excellent at breakups apparently. I have just reentered the world of on-line dating and was thinking how I used to chronicle my exploits here. A lot of things have changed in the interim - texting, Facebook being open to all, the ubiquity of camera phones, a new generation of dating sites/apps. But, a lot of things haven't. Men are still...men. The technology may have changed, but the people behind the scenes are still the same. The main difference is that I'm now 15 years older. Maybe, just maybe, I'm also wiser. And maybe, if I cross my fingers really hard, so are the gentlemen I end up meeting.
