I've been blogging now for almost four years (next week!), beginning with the inspiration and example offered by a couple of other local blogs. Since that time, many of these blogs have gone out of business, either through declining interest on the part of the bloggers or because said bloggers moved away. My own frequency this year so far has been a little spotty for a number of reasons--a pyrotechnic social life for the first month and a half and increased writing, both in fiction and inasmuch as I'm trying an actual journal again. I have no intention of giving it up, but I do sometimes wonder as to its purpose. Often it seems like I'm the only one still doing this, and then I run across a friend's blog which just kicked off last month. It gives me a happily cyclical feeling to think about this, and only renews my determination to keep plugging away, despite the collegiate solitude I sometimes feel.

Unfortunately, I have nothing today. For one thing, it's way too nice outside.
