Worrying thought and musings

Something on my mind:
Going back to study in a week to do my graduate certificate in Pharmacy Practice. My first subject is going to be on infectious diseases (I.D)! I hope it will be interesting and not too straining. I've been dreading full time work + study. Yet I did make it through 2011 doing just that. I may want to do a series of posts about I.D, but I'll see once I start learning and how difficult the content is.

Thoughts floating across my mind:
1. There are an insane number of blogs about kids, pregnancy and families.

I think families are great, I really do. I'd like to have one of my own one day. But most of the blogs I quickly scanned through were just absolutely boring! The way the writers went about the posts were uninteresting. It really can be done so much better like pioneer woman.

2.  Weird smells.

I wonder if anyone else can smell these weird burnt-chemical-scent/warm-electronics-scent or is it just me? I asked The Boy and he says it's just me. But I tend to mistrust him when it comes to smells and tastes, he has a brute nose and brute taste buds.

3. Each time I cough.

I feel like I'm spreading the plague, which I'm not. I've recovered from my cold but I've just got the hack-your-lungs-out-cough-of-death leftover. Not fun when I work with sick people. They must think I make them worse!

Blog commentary: Trying to stick to my new set of blogging guidelines, so I'm giving this layout a go. Look a list!

Frosty day. A consideration to spare a blogs life.

Hello there, once again the classic lines of "it's been awhile...". I'm very sorry to my 8 followers. (To be honest I only found out today, didn't even know people follow this blog. Did you guys not notice that there's nothing here?)

Just doing a clean of my laptop since I haven't touched it for almost a year. That is correct I have lived without internet and computers for over a year! Of course I do have nifty gadgets like an iPhone and iPad so I can do my emailing and 9gag'ing so I haven't completely abandoned technology.

Now I've been thinking very hard about this blog and what to do with it. :/ Should I continue to give it a sad and fleeting existence or is it finally time to let it die?
I decided that if I was to keep it alive I should try to post more than what I have been which is one post a year at the most. This is unacceptable! Blog ancestors would roll in their graves with disapproval!

Should I give my posts some sort of structure? That way it would give me an easy to follow template so I fool myself into writing. Time for some research! Well.
Pro blogger seems to sum this up nicely: "it’s core is being able to write compelling and engaging content on a consistent basis over time" - Problogger

I've failed already =.="
According to his other post How to craft a blog, I've been doing it all wrong. But then I realised, his points are so that those writers can draw in more readers. Well, I don't think I really care about getting more people to read what I write. I'm happy with the amount I have at the moment anyway.

I guess this process is good because it's getting me to consider who do I actually want to read my blog?
Answer: You, the person who put in the effort to even find this blog. I sometimes think my blog is like a cousin of my old car the 1994 Toyota Corolla. Still motoring away until a car crash places it out of commission.
Hopefully nothing as drastic happens :/

Back to the blog expert. He does raise some good points though. I may try to incorporate these aspects into my future blog posts:

- Choose a topic: try to make it less rambly and make a point?

- Crafting a title: well it would certainly make it easier for me to know what my post is meant to be about

- Making my points matter: once again maybe it'll help me to ramble less. But my blog consists of my thoughts and my thoughts do ramble. hmmm...

- Making it scannable: I think this is a better idea for all! He says I should try lists and use formatting. Doesn't sound too hard! See I'm doing it already :) He also said I shouldn't be writing essays. Too true sir, too true.

On that note I should stop this post here. He also said I should add photos cause they make stuff less boring. That's cool too, not to mention too easy.

 So here is your photo for this fine posting:

PS: I thought this was funny but "biscuit" means "ugly face" according to Snoop dog. Who knew? Maybe I'm getting old. *muses*

PPS: I just realised some of my followers may not even be real people?!? IS THIS TRUE? ;3;

**I don't know why but there are no paragraphs D:** Oh right. Need to be in "compose" mode...
