New Year, New Blog!

Goodbye Blogger, Hello WordPress!

I have been meaning to start blogging properly for some time, but using Blogger didn’t really inspire me, so I got myself a domain, and now (with thanks to Rick) I can write about… stuff, here. I haven’t thought of a particular direction for this blog just yet, I am hoping that will come with time, as one of the things I intend to do in 2010 is write blog posts frequently, but more of that stuff-I-intend-to-do-this-year in a moment. So, all previous posts to this are the few I imported from my old Blogger account, I think they are worth keeping, you know, just for shits and giggles.

Because I am feeling self indulgent, and because I can’t think of anything else to blog about, and then tweet about that blog to show off this new blog (3 points for over use of the word blog – oh fuck, I did it again), I am now going to tell you some stuff I have planned for 2010. These are not resolutions, because I think New Year’s resolutions are for suckers, but just stuff I have planned. Here goes;

• The aforementioned blogging frequently. I have stuff to say, and I don’t care if few or many people read it, it will be a good exercise and will give me the chance to write more freely, a nice break from all of those essays and that dissertation.
• Speaking of dissertation, another thing I have planned this year is graduation. You could say that is something that is just going to happen, and that I don’t have it ‘planned’, but third year is no breeze in the park, and lets just say if I didn’t have it planned, I wouldn’t be graduating at all. Fingers crossed I will get good grades again this year and come out with a really good degree. I can’t wait.
• This leads on to my plans to do postgraduate study, starting in September. I am looking at doing an MA, probably part-time whilst working due to finance issues.
• Get a dSLR. I am looking at doing this pretty soon and I have been eyeing up the Canon 450d, so this obviously means that I plan to take more photos. Watch this space.
• Get more tattoos. I have three placements in mind, and a few design ideas, but I like to sit on these things so this might not happen for a while. Plus the camera will mean I will have to wait for tattoos on a financial level, but this is a good thing, gives me time to think it over.
• Travel somewhere new & interesting and take photos of it.
• Spend time with him.

I’d love to hear what you have planned!
