Indeed it has been ages since I last blogged. The tumultuous time spent in the interim has been anything but normal. For starters, I embarked upon a small project to earn enough to buy this shortly after my last post. End result: I got that and more!
Just today, LD and I were discussing the decline of the personal blogger-blog in its entirety - she was sniffling at the decline of her blog within two years, while I, four. What led to the entire decline, was the question that cropped up, and she eloquently put it as this: (not her exact words)
"We aren't angsty or angry enough to blog..."
To a large extent, this is frightfully accurate (She had quoted some other things which approached near 100% correctness, which sadly I cannot quote for many reasons, primarily the backlash that I would get from other wanderers to whom it would almost always apply). I can very well pick up, at random, some post that was inspired by wanderlust of - at times anger, angst and/or some other thing. There are, of course, several exceptions, however since my anti-embarrassment signal system prevented me from linking to suggested random angry/angsty posts, my conscience would obviously hinder me from linking to suggested exceptions.
Nevertheless, there have been quite a few suggestions, questions and ideas that have bubbled up in my head or the heads of my friends. Though they popped before they surfaced, they kept my mind active. I was thinking about stopping Fealdamar's posts for quite a long time - probably forever since I have another blog hosted on a custom domain now, for public work-related image - now I know that this is my home, no matter what. Fealdamar has been my alt for quite a long time, and it is nearing its fifth birthday in a few more days. Ah, now you think I blogged just so I could bump it up and ensure people look around on the fateful birthday, however that is not my reason (although, right now, it seems like a very good way!). I just want to thank you, Fealdamar, and the people who support it heartily for keeping it alive and well for as long as it has been around. So thanks to you, there will be more posts! And well, it will be like old times (I hope) and there'll be drinks around (mead or beer) and we shall have a gay (HAPPY) time!
That's that. Now I'll get back to trolling some angsty blogs and laughing at them.
