Finding a Purpose March 6, 2008

For a new blog. I have plenty of fun with this. It is filled with my random rantings and whining. And works quite well as a public journal (and occasionally private, you don’t know my passwords!) . But I want to start a second blog. A blog with a purpose. Here’s the problem: I have no purpose. As anyone can tell from my tag cloud I have quite a … cloud… a blurry yet puffy cloud of tags and interests. These are my current ideas:
Coffee (could get expensive, and being stuck in Corvallis limits variation)
Oregon
College
Pacific Northwest
Study Abroad (although would have been much more effective while I was on study abroad… if you are interested check out my early posts)
Books (Time to read books… v. little)
Something utterly fictional (because fiction is fun… )
Trying to figure out what I want to write about. There are plenty of things that I enjoy, but would never write about. So going to think about this in the next few days, and I am open for suggestions.
Quarter Past One November 26, 2007

I have the urge to write. I should be asleep. Sunday night I have class at 9 am. Instead I’m sitting in my dark room, not wanting to unplug the space heater to deprive myself of heat in the -3 C cold and fog, oh, and listening to Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me! (Best thing on radio). And I’m putting my mom’s Dixie Chicks CD (stole it, she doesn’t know yet) on to my iTunes Library. Why is it I always want to write at this hour. Two nights past it was on my story. The scene when a certain military leader comes to a certain adolescent girl trained in medicine to tell her that the medicine won’t come. Then the scene later (4 years later) when he talks to her about that conversation and first hints that his loyalties may not lay where many may think. I thought it came out well… but then again it was quarter past one.
