Kickstart

I haven't been blogging lately, I know, and I plan on changing that soon.  I stopped earlier this year primarily because  I was a little burned out, and blogging was starting to feel a lot like work, which I never wanted it to be. Hence, the five month hiatus. But I'm feeling a lot recharged lately, so now I'm raring to start writing more creatively again.  

Hopefully I haven't lost too many readers.  I sincerely did miss this place.

So I left the big, corporate, extremely pressure-heavy law firm for a (no adjective yet) government job.  I'm planning to enjoy the relatively slower pace until I get my bearings again.  Then I will decide what I really want to do with my life.  I like my new job, but something tells me this isn't going to be a long-term deal.

Ballooned to 200 pounds, which means I'm 15 pounds overweight (I'm 5'10"). Damn. Been hitting the gym like crazy when I realized how heavy I've become.  And I'm turning 30 this year, which freaks me out a little bit.  I still don't feel like a 30-year old honestly. I feel like I'm perpetually stuck at 21 though I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Rereading old posts.  It's weird, some of these posts feel like they've been written by a completely different person.  Anyway, for those new here, I suggest the following entries, aside from my "Favorite Entries" (see sidebar), to familiarize yourself with this blog and with my style of writing:

The First Morning I Did Not Think About You

This Way, Not That

Fond Memories

I promise I'll publish something more coherent and substantial next time. :-)

Plagiarism, Anonymity and Cowardice

Someone plagiarized half my blog posts and when I asked her to take it down, she left anonymous  comments on my blog calling me "immoral" (paraphrasing here, she said worse things I'd rather not repeat) and my writing work "crap". Yay, a true-blue hater. I feel like such a real blogger.  

:-D

P.S.  I deleted your comments. If you can't even leave your real or internet name in a comment, please, you have no right calling anyone a coward.

If you hate my work so much, stop stealing them please. It's hypocritical and idiotic.

You start with the eyes, because they say those are the windows to the soul.  A touch of mascara perhaps, some eyeliner, and slight dark eye powder to give you that smoky look.
