OMG

OMG YOU GUYS IT'S BEEN SO LONG. a lot of things have happened in the past few months including: mice, dreams of moving and deciding that my future lies in libraries. that is one reason why i haven't written anything for several months. but, here is my other issue: my main problem with (good) blogs, i think, is that not only must one have either interesting things to say or interesting ways to say uninteresting things but they must also ANALYZE EVERYTHING. it's like, blog posts are next to godliness and i am no god. so, that's basically why i was SO OVER THIS BLOG about a month after i started it. most of the time when i'm hanging out online i'm reading things on blogs, mostly the ones linked to on the right, and a lot of the stuff i'm reading i find intensely interesting. it would be great if i had the energy to make every thing i read that interests me into a blog post but that's a) impossible and b) a form of appropriation that i'd rather not have to lean on daily. i've heard things about tumblr accounts being a promising way for people that don't have the want to develop every thought they have into something epic. has anyone used one? is it really all that great? i am kind of considering something more of that magnitude because it seems a lot less evasive to my thoughts. (also the phrase "less evasive to my thoughts" sounds like i'm scared of technology taking over my brain. I'M NOT).

i guess the talking points of this post is: a) blogs are overwhelming, b) i want to keep in contact with people/share my thoughts somewhat, and c) what's the deal with tumblrs? so, yeah. any ideas?
