Written Whispers

Links, Life, and Something Else

July 19th, 2009

j8pglhSo far I think I’m liking the new look of my blog here, still a bit on the bright side but that’s more because I spend too much time in front of the computer and my eyes need special comfort but I can fix that just by turning the contrast down on my screen. Some of you may have noticed, though no one probably cares (except me who has to be anal and write a whole post about it because it’s something different), I’ve moved all of my blogroll links to their very own page. I just had way too many to keep in the side bar. On my old template it only displayed a certain number and then randomized them. I both loved and hated that feature, with the new template though they’re all displayed- which is cool for my fellow bloggers but I imagine my pages are often long enough without being covered with links.

That and… well, my blogroll is a lot bigger than you might think. I’m still adding everything but aside from what you currently see on my links page I also have all the links I was too lazy to add right away saved in my favorites for later reading and then all the ones in my feed reader. I love reading blogs, they’re like books of the new age, readily available and with a wide variety I don’t have to pay for plus they all look so different and exotic. I love how there’s so many different ways to let one’s personality, tastes, and passions show through with just a few clicks of a button. :)

Anyways, aside from the links thing, which I just felt I had to mention, things are going alright over in my corner of the universe. Not the best, but good enough for me. I’m a little on the sick side right now but I’m in a great mood so it almost evens out.

I’ve decided that my second favorite hobby is sleeping in after having to work a whole week.

Alas, my first -more than just- hobby wouldn’t allow that. I found myself rudely awoken by several new story ideas that wouldn’t let me rest until I gave each and every one of them a little piece of my attention and a promise to write them down.

I was also woken up by some other things, things that have been waking me up for a few weeks now, things that are responsible for me being sick and stressed out. They weren’t so bad this morning, rather random, but still loud enough to prevent me from falling into that false sense of security or the whorls of self doubt that try to convince me it’s all in my imagination.

I’m almost getting to the point where I can actually write out what’s wrong with me this time. I want to so badly, I usually write everything down but if I write this out and send it out into the universe (or in this case release it to the blogosphere) it’s like it will be that much more real. I can’t even say it aloud yet and I don’t want to but I do want to write it because it’s something that needs to be done. I refuse to fall victim to the vicious cycle others have set before me, it’s just not happening and that’s that.

This gives me a thought, I’m remembering something I wanted to blog about the other day but I fell asleep when I got home. It’s important enough that I want to give it it’s own post so methinks I’ll end this one here. This feels like one of those multi-posting days for me. In fact, the whole month might just go like that.

      Oh, I know what you mean! I have problems sleeping if I don’t write, like the ideas start piling up and my subconscious isn’t ready to let me go until I get them out but likewise it also works the other way. If I write ‘just’ before I go to bed… ugh, don’t get me started. It gets bad, I’ll stay up for the entire night just laying there with my brain buzzing. I get some of my best writerly ideas that way but it’s not worth it, lol.
