a writing assignment, huh? that might be the motivation i need to recharge my defunct web space. it's been so long since i've written anything creatively, though, that i'm almost afraid i've lost my voice. not that i don't have opinions to give (i will always be opinionated, for better or worse), but i have to figure out if this is here for me or to garner a readership. if it's for me, why do i have to post publicly? that was part of my withdrawal from the webby eye, because i didn't want my personal life to be slathered across any arbitrary google-searchable site. it is, after all, fairly easy to find out about me online-- the semi-downside of a unique name.
if i'm here for the audience, then i mostly fear the resulting influence on the ego-- what if no one cares? i might be painfully unfunny, not being blessed with either liz's sarcastic wit or big daddy's dry wit. my life is full but rather mundane, unlike the china adventure that anne is on or the multi-country exploration that glennia writes about. i'm not angsty most days, and i'm not sure how many people want to read about my blow-by-blow sports highs and lows (of which there are many-- considering i currently play on two soccer teams, and avidly follow the sharks, a's, 49ers, ucla football/basketball, and now the san jose giants).
such is my disclaimer, before i embark on a resurrection of this little hole in the wall. i'll do my best to stay a while, and to entertain while i do. feel free to talk back-- i do better when i know someone's listening (see, there's the ego again. bad ego!).
as for that writing assignment... i'll turn in my paper soon (i have to draft a response first).
i'm going to add a tay tracker to my posts, so you can cheer taylor on, too!
