Roller Coaster of Blog

Yesterday was crazy here. Thanks for reading, thanks for commenting and thanks for not commenting. I read through a lot of the comments left on Consumerist’s site and I read all of the comments here. It was a good time and I laughed a lot. And that was a nice change. I’m glad people think I’m wasting my time standing up for my rights, when a bunch of people are wasting their day bitching about me wasting my time…you see where I’m going. </feeding trolls>

Today will be less interesting for most. I’m okay with that. It’s my blog…so back off – or something – please?

I’m trying to get back into posting every few days. November totally wiped me out! I don’t think I even posted in December and January is almost over. Getting back into a routine will be easier now that classes have started and I’m not spending all day sitting on the sofa having a staring contest with the tree. (Which, btw, finally came down today!)

Classes! Yay! It’s only the second week, I can still be excited about them, right? In one more week I’ll loathe them. I predict I will complain first about having a 9am class 2 days a week (ugh!), followed by a 6:30-8pm class two other days of the week (blah!), and then the fact that said evening class is the night before said morning class. What was I thinking! Hey I have Friday off!! (Just not off from work…)

Best09

Alright, after looking through some of the Best09 prompts [I seriously kept misspelling best as beth, no I'm not kidding, yes I am that self centered], I decided that the majority didn’t apply to me and I really didn’t have anything to say about them.

Also, 2009 is not over yet. I’ve got a ton of stuff still to do before it’s over. So there.

Here are some highlights so far.

Hello world!

Yes this is a blog post about blogging…it’s so <meta>

I did my first blog on Livejournal when I started college. At that point it was a place to rant.  Then came Twitter and I stopped posting on LJ and spewed what I’m pretty sure got dubbed as twitarrhea. The next hot thing was Blogspot. I did that for a while, but it had no real direction. The current hotness is Wordpress. I even went all fancy and bought a domain name and I’m still astounded that out of 5 Elizabeth Alberts in my family, bethalbert dot com was actually available.

This website/blog has a plan. I’m excited to be able to show my far away friends and family what I’m up to and still be entertaining (lofty goal, I know) to my friends who see me all.the.time.
