i am attempting to remove several constructs of my blogging disposition. beginning now:

1. i will write anytime i want, regardless of how brief my message is. like if i want to say, tomorrow is lavender day at work, but i dont have any office-appropriate lavender clothes. should i blatantly flout the (two day old) tradition of color-coding our clothes and wear my Hogwarts shirt to celebrate today’s opening of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince?, i will say it. in one post. without concern of whether people will have anything to respond to it, or if people actually care what i wear to work, or if it — according to some parties — will be the Downfall of My Blog.

2. i refuse to let the use of Twitter take over my blog. nobody blogs anymore these days coz Twitter is making everyone lazy. there is really only so much one can say with 140 characters, and it’s not enough. pinkpau in bite sized pieces is not nearly as fun as long and tumbling rants at quaintly.net. and Twitter is not as cool as everyone claims. more on this another time. plus Plurk is so much better, especially when all your friends are on it.

3. i will remember to set some time apart every now and then to blog proper, but will also remember not to take my blog too seriously. i generally dont take my blog very seriously, but as always, it’s easy to get sucked into that kind of thing.

4. i will not participate in anymore blog politics. i will link whoever i want to link, and blog about whatever i want to blog about, thank you very much.

okay lah i think that’s it. my grumpy mode has been abated by nice cold green tea and the promise of ice cream. but the weekend has come and gone. i think it’s very likely that i will not have an OSIM tomorrow, cos i may be working out of a little internet-less burrow. but let’s see how it goes.

also, i’m thinking of starting a private journal somewhere far away.
