Ordering My Blog
In an attempt to bring some level of order to the random chaos that is
my blog and in order to force myself to write more regularly I think
I’m going to try to create a sort of schedule for myself blogging-wise
and see how long I can stick to it. I’ll probably get sick of it
after like just a week but I’ll try it anyway. It could be fun.
Here’s my tentative schedule so far:
***********
Friday - Internet Finds and Favorite Scenes:
On Friday I’ll continue my Favorite Scenes series where I post
clips or synopsis of my favorite scenes in books, movies, video games,
or whatever. I may also post entries about random emails I received or
weird or interesting stuff I saw or found online.
Saturday – Journal Day:
On Saturday I’ll bore you all by writing about what I did in the Real World from Sunday to Saturday.
Sunday – Random Thoughts, Emo Crap, The Meaning of Life, and FQs
So this is the day I’ll reserve for my whiny rambling self pitying
depressing, I hate life, I wish you were all dead, Why am I alive, The
universe is going to end and so and so forth stuff. Also, I’ll write
any Osaka moments I might have. That is thoughts about things that just
don’t make any sense to anybody but me. Lastly, I’ll continue my quest
to answer every featured question ever asked on Sundays. You thought I’d forgotten about that didn’t you?
Monday – Politics, Philosophy, and Society
To greet the new week I’ll tell you all about my views on matters
of politics, current events, society and all that jazz. Also when I
just don’t care about that stuff I’ll revert to my love of philosophy
and write about that.
Tuesday – Ideas and Brainstorming generally about Computer and Internet Stuff, including thoughts about how to improve Xanga
I have soooo many ideas about how to change things and make things
better. And I’m too lazy to implement any of them but maybe I’m not too
lazy to share them every Tuesday. I might also write reviews of various
devices I’ve used software packages and whatnot. In so far as I want to
risk the wrath of the Gods by making suggestions for the Xanga Team,
I’ll do that on Tuesday too. I may also include brainstorming about other things too like D&D and Magic.
Wednesday – Rant Day
By Wednesday there will *surely* be something pissing me off. So that’s the day I’ll rant about it.
Thursday – Stories and Fun Stuff/Reviews
On Thursday I’ll do my *best* to force myself to write some sort of
creative work. A story preferably. Maybe a poem some day. Other times
it might be a humorous essay or something. But when the writers block
hits me I’ll just write about random fun stuff like Reviews of Video
Games, Anime, Movies and Books. Stuff like that.
****************
I’ll probably fine tune this system over time. I might change the days
up some for example. I might even rotate the days every once in awhile.
This is not a promise to write something every day, mind you. I’d like
to do that, but honestly I don’t expect I’ll ever be that disciplined.
But in so far as I do post stuff, I’ll post it according to this
schedule except when I feel the urge to post something cool write now.
Things that don’t fit in any of these categories I’ll just post
whenever.
I’ll tag these entries with their day of week in addition to any other
relevant tags so if you want to see all the entries for a given day you
can use the tag for a shortcut.
Let’s see how long I’ll be able to stick to this? Anybody wanna place a wager?

It’s nice to have your own blogging system….
Take all the fun outta things! pffftt! Don’t make me come over there!
@qccan - I’m doin it and you can’t stop me!
@nephyo - you just watch me, mister! ::waving my arms:: PRESTO!
3 days!
@raindrops23 - Oh I’m so touched! Your confidence in me is overwhelming!
@nephyo -
I’ve never been able to stick to any sort of schedule..so I’ll say a week and a half.
Good luck keeping to the schedule!
Bah, you’re a better man than me. I post whenever I damn well feel like it, and the people can just suck it up. You all are here for my twisted amusement, not the other way around. (or at least that’s the way it often plays out in my twisted, self-important psyche.)
@buckeyegirl31 - Oh wow a whole week and a half! You must think I’m Superman or something. lol. Well we’ll see, wish me luck!
@elvesdoitbetter - Oh you’re all definitely here for *my* amusement. I just think it is equally amusing to see how you respond to my sudden declaration of ordering my blog in a weird and arbitrary fashion!
*takes notes* So far the results have been… fascinating… ^_^
@nephyo - it’s a week and a half longer then I’ve ever lasted!!
180 days. week 24th’s wednesday is when you rant about the boredom of this ordering. on the 25th wednesday you rant about having nothing more to rant about. the following wednesday after that is when you solved all world’s problem via your blog and praise everything in life.
@moonlitsage - LOL!! You know me too well I think. Not sure about the solving the world’s problems parts though. I’m been blogging since 2004 and haven’t even yet solve any of my own problems. But we’ll see.
