I Like Me!

Sometimes I wish I was someone else,
but mostly I’m glad I’m ME!
We all have our likes and differences as everyone can see.
Some of us like to hurry.
Some like to take our time.
Some spend all their money.
Some save every dime.
Some are good at English.
Some are good at math.
Some of us like showers.
Some prefer the bath.
Some of us are quiet.
Some of us are loud.
Some of us like to be alone.
Some of us like a crowd.
Some of us are tall.
Some of us are short.
Some like to play an instrument.
Some like to play a sport.
Some of us are black or brown,
And some of us are white.
Some of us leave the light on
when we go to bed at night.
All of us are special
As everyone can see.
You like you, and I like you,
but also I like ME!

My blogging routine is fairly simple

My blogging routine is fairly simple: Every three or four days, I sit down and write a new entry from start to finish. I write between workday, or sometimes at home before dinner, but either way, it’s only about an hour. Then it takes half an hour to collect pictures and get everything ready to go live. Responding to comments takes another hour. Brainstorming happens in the shower, or while I’m having a cup of tea with some sweets and music, so it’s not really “time spent” as such.

So all told, blogging doesn’t take up a lot of my time. That’s one advantage of keeping my posts short. But I find that keeping a blog has noticeably changed my inner life, constantly humming somewhere in the background as I read, or travel, or even when I’m just sitting at home and checking the news. I keep looking for connections, ways to bring things back to the anime I’m watching. It could turn me into a real weirdo if I’m not careful. But for now, I like the mental exercise.
