So for about fifteen minutes I was seriously considering switching to Blogger. I think it was mainly a self-aggrandizement impulse. I've associated Blogger with the heavy hitters, and since I could now create a Blogger blog for free, I could now step on the stage of the serious writers of the Internet. "Oh, I am so ready for the big time!" For my first post I would rationalize the move, to explain why I was disappointed with LiveJournal. "I wasn't excited with its surfeit of social rigging", I was going to say (having double-checked the definition of 'surfeit'), but I tripped myself up when I returned to LJ for some illustrative examples. I clicked on my 'Friends' link, and in thirty seconds I knew I'd been a dork.

My friends have been writing about themselves on LiveJournal! One new friend is looking ahead to the Singapore Writers Festival. My pal Kelly can't wait for the holidays to be over. Peri downtown is still dangerous at her keyboard. Sue in Toronto has a new job! And Adam in the UK is still finding good anime to watch, which is always a very good thing

So long story short, I came up with a new topic for a blog post. All's well that ends well, right?

Oh, and as for the title of this post: once I put down some money for a full account, I already know the name I want to give this journal.
