I can’t say that it moves me very much that I’ve been blogging for a year. Actually, it hasn’t really been a year. I’m not quite sure when I created this blog. I know it was in June because that’s what my Blogger profile says. I could probably go on a hunt for the confirmation email from Blogger that I received when I created the account, but that would be a waste of time. June first is good enough, and “good enough” is my motto.

Words to live by babe.

For the most part blogging is and was a distraction from work and school, much like anime. My first couple of post were the standard episode reviews, but I quickly determined that it wasn’t going to work out. Episode reviews were too detailed. I didn’t have time to follow and blog an entire season.

Time was the biggest factor between then and now. When I first started blogging I had a lot more time to watch anime than I currently do now. Sure I work and I have school but who needs sleep? They say for every hour of class one needs to study for three. So, I should have been studying for 18 hours a week. That wasn’t the case until recently.

So, the blog’s structure follows my habits and schedule. I don’t have time to blog everything I watch; therefore, I blog only a subset. I cannot post everyday; therefore, I post randomly. That seems to fit well with everything else. I used to have a “once every week” post rule. I stopped that for two reasons. One, no one really cared. Two, I couldn’t keep up.

This blog is really an evolving work. It isn’t anything like it was when I started. Everything from the type of writing to the way the blog page is formatted has changed.

I’ve even changed a little over the year.

Movement is good.
Stagnation is the worst.
I don’t really want to stay still.
Have blog, will travel.

Such is the life of one anime fan.

Q&A

What’s with the bad poetry?

- Well, sometimes I have this need to write bad poetry in order to express how a show made me feel. One of the main focuses of this blog has been on the emotional impact of the stories. After all, if anime didn’t move me I probably wouldn’t watch it. Expect even worse poetry in the future.
