Yes, I have officially tired of Xanga. I haven't posted there for months, partially due to lack of interest, but also partially due to busyness. Blogging just hasn't been a priority. Although it will most likely remain a non-priority for me right now, I think I'm ready to make a little more room for it as a hobby.
I think Blogger will be a better fit for me than Xanga or Facebook simply because I am not a social butterfly by nature. I hate the idea of feeling inextricably tied to an online social network where I'm expected to update my profile every time I eat some nachos or blow my nose. No offense intended; it's just not my thing. :) Some of you might live and breathe by such social networking tools...more power to you. I'll stick to my antisocial blog that I can update when I feel that something interesting is actually going on in my life -- no pressure, no guilt.
Just from my experience creating this account I can tell that I need to lighten up my blogging attitude. I was starting to obsess over finding the perfect blog name, the perfect URL, and the perfect screen name. (Will I ever learn that perfect doesn't exist? Especially in a hobby?) Evidently not. I'm still trying to get rid of the urge to create the perfect first post. *sigh* Oh well.
Bonsoir!

You know what? I think that was a great first post. :) I can't even remember what my first post was like... its been a long time. In any case, I hope that this is just the beginning of a long and glorious blogging career (or at least semi-long and semi-glorious ;)).
