Another Monday feeling refreshed
I’m planning on redesigning the content presentation of my website. I would like to possibly eventually turn it into a portfolio, maybe through a url with my name or something of the sort, of all of the various things I do. I want to start taking and publishing more photos for the sake of amateur photography. I have a holga. That is the best thing to do. I want to create a digital recipe archive, a sort of digital cafe, of all of the delicious things that Kyle and I cook. I want to start reflecting on more important issues than what I did with my day. I’m sure that I’ll always keep a blog similar to the format of this one. I started blogging at opendiary when I was 14. It’s just engrained in me at this point. More than half of the time that I’ve been able to write, I’ve invested my journalling energy on the blogosphere. But, I realize, I’m somewhat outside of it. I want to be able to use this domain to communicate with more than a few of strangers and some close friends. I’d like to let people in my family know that it exists. I think it could help keeping in touch and those sorts of things. So expect a content redesign soon. Although, I must say, I’m obsessed with this ugly color combination I’m using so might as well keep it up.
Class and things are going very well. I’m enjoying the intellectual stimulation for a change and I especially like my Islam class. I’m really enjoying being in the groove of friendships. I started going to the local coffee shop and that has somewhat helped. I don’t know that I realized how much I feel like I fit in when I start recognizing people I don’t know from places that we both tend to frequent. Maybe I’m just part of an unfortunate generation overexposed to Friends, but I think it’s more about loving the familiar.
Kyle has been in San Diego this week for a debate tournament. I think he had a good time, and I sure missed him. It’s nice to have the apartment to myself so I can sleep in easier in the mornings and get things done at my own pace with no regard for someone else’s plans or needs, but when it comes down to it, I miss him dearly. I’ve been very nostalgic lately for the early days of when we were first dating. Our two years of being committed to each other relationship is this week and I think I’m just considering what it’s been like getting to know him and letting him get to know me. I really feel blessed, we’re so happy.
