Now that I’ve started tagging my posts, I’m getting followers from random corners of the ‘net who are probably only interested in one portion of what I post. Unfortunately, this isn’t a dedicated gaming blog or a blog about anime or any one specific thing. It’s my personal blog, so it’s only about those things insofar as they’re a part of who I am. I wouldn’t bother to follow someone if I wasn’t interested in most of their posts, but that’s just the way I do things.

        As I’ve mentioned before, this isn’t some expertly curated internet persona. I’m not trying to present some ideal version of myself and get thousands of readers. I’m just sharing myself with anyone that’s interested, including my flaws (not that I have many… right?!). Looking back, there are some posts that I probably shouldn’t have made, and a number that I wouldn’t have bothered to make now. But that’s ok, because they’re wholly representative of who I was when I wrote them. I can read them and remember how I felt at the time or think about how much I’ve changed.

        Just keep that in mind if you ever decide to brave my archives.

        On an unrelated note, I’m starting to feel a bit guilty about how I’ve been spending my time lately. Having failed spectacularly thus far to establish a new circle of friends in Ottawa, I’ve got nothing to do other than hang out by myself and do whatever I feel like doing. Watch a bit of anime, play three different games for an hour each, whatever. It hasn’t been particularly stressful, but it’s not like I’m having the time of my life.

        I’m looking at forcing myself to do something productive, but I… don’t really want to. I guess I should mention that, for better or for worse, I do have a job. More on that later. It doesn’t start until July, though, so I’ve got some time to relax. Should I really spend that time working on something I don’t really want to do, like learning C? I guess that could help me get a job next summer. But I have a hard time caring right now. I don’t think I’d feel particularly fulfilled if I were working on that. Which is what I’m looking for, really - something I can be proud to have accomplished. Just not sure what that is at the moment.
