Too personal for the internet.
My heat bill was $190. PEOPLE!! $190??!! to heat a SMALL apartment. for ONE month! what the crap? That’s more than my car payment. and it’s more than my car insurance payment. and almost half my freaking rent.
As a result, my apartment will now be 54 degrees (ish) for the rest of the winter. if you were planning to visit i’d recommend you bring an extra sweater. or a blanket. or summer.
i have a stupid summer birthday. so although ive had an over abundance of pool parties to celebrate me, i’ve also had an under abundance of school parties to celebrate me. that is until one of my teachers decided i could celebrate my birthday in February. HOW?! i asked in amazement. “Well, Feb. 23 would be your half birthday,” i was told. my what? what? what? “your HALF birthday”
and so, today, i am 24 AND A HALF and in honor of elementary school im celebrating it. (ish). and i’ve even made a half birthday resolution — see, I’m reading this book, and it’s all about how “soda is liquid satan” and how i should quit being a loser vegetarian and go full force with the vegan-ism. and i really, really want to do it.
i’ve tried before and know how freaking hard it is, so im thinking baby steps. which are kind of like half-steps, you know — in honor of my HALF birthday. you’ll probably still see me eating cheese and stuff, but hopefully you’ll see a little more brown rice and fresh fruit mixed in. hopefully.
yay 24 and a half. yay.
So i had some yummy mexican food with a bunch of bloggers last night. and it turns out i should be doing WAY more to categorize, tag, label and sort my posts.
i mean WAY more.
apparently my “long,” “medium.” and “short” system is lame and to be cool, im going to try to fix it. so i went back and put little tags on some of the posts (although, I’m still not quite sure how those work)* and i’ll probably be adding some more categories — be on the look out for the “snow sucks” category. and the “go (candidate x)” category.
Im not going to do much to back categorize because it would just take too d*mn long. and im not sure if editing posts like that messes up how my blog shows up on people’s RSS feed (whatever that is). but i pledge to do more sorting in the future. i do. i really do.
also, readers, you can always just search a topic in the little search box on the side of my blog and any posts with the search words in it should pop up. it’s like goggle, but on my blog. 🙂
*UPDATE: I just discovered the “tag cloud.” which is now proudly displayed on the side of my blog. you can click on the different tags and it will take you to all the posts on my blog that have those tags. so. umm. tag! you’re it!
