So far, this blog really hasn’t been getting a lot of readers. This doesn’t bother me all that much, but really gives me insight into how blogs should be written, or at least in the way I think is correct. But a righteous way to write a blog might not exist in general; it only exists to me because I think maybe that’s how they should be written.

I’ve always put off having a blog since I last had one in grade 10, I think. And since then, I’ve always thought that the longer you have the blog, the longer you start to dislike it because more people come to your blog to read it, and then consequently have less and less freedom to write and/or rant about your life, in apprehension of other people’s feelings. Thus, you began to want to start another blog. This applies to many other online portals to your life, among one of those is MSN Messenger. I think a lot of people change MSN’s frequently, because the list of people just expands until you can’t manage it, so you start another one. This is the reason why I do not spend vasts amount of time on MSN lately. It is also the reason why I haven’t had a blog in a long time.

So the true art of blogging to me is to write about things that is bothering you, that people can relate to. Not just limited to your friends, but also for people that randomly stumble upon your oasis on the world wide web, so they can glimpse in your world. Having said this, judging upon the amount of comments I get, I have a feeling that what I’ve written so far has a very straining percentage that everyday-life people can associate with. I feel that this is mainly due to my obsession with Japanese Actors and Dramas. Many blogs that have the same interests post up on recent rumors from Japan and other Asian countries and many lyrics translations. (I’m thinking about Jland here) So, to be slightly more ubiquitous, if only just for people that randomly stumble upon my Eden, I will try my best to adhere to “The Art of Blogging”, and maybe translate some Japanese lyrics? (Although, if you’ve read the last couple of lyrics translation posts, you’ll know that maybe it’s not a very good idea *lol*)

On another note, here are updates of my life because of my recent days of anti-civilization:

1. I burnt parts of my hand and wrists while trying to fry meat paddies. But I have a good hunch that the skin is healing, albeit very disgustingly what with blisters and all. x.x.
2. I have finished reading the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and have read some pages on Wikipedia regarding the Harry Potter series and also some character pages on hp-lexicon.org. Now that the series is finished, I have so many thoughts and comments. First and foremost is the ending of an era: it feels such a long time and also a very short almost infinitesimal of time that has started the moment I forced myself (yes the word is forced) to finish reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. I have so many feelings regarding this phenomenal book series. I have all of the American editions of the book, and my favorite one (although this is often shifting between the recent ones) for the longest time before Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was released is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. In which case, the spine has totally slip down the middle when Fred and George gave Harry the Marauder’s Map. Therefore, every time I open the book to read it, I’ll always start from that scene *lol*. Anyway (getting sidetracked here), I feel that a part of me has also finished with the books, the more I go back and read it, the more it has reminded myself just how much I loved it. It feels like having another glimpse of my childhood. And just maybe, just maybe I’ve matured somehow. Although this is merely just blind hope really.
3. I’ve recorded and consequentially heard myself sing Jay Chou’s 发如雪 so many times that it feels weird to hear Jay Chow sing it.
4. My parents said to burn a CD of all the songs I sang this summer for them before I go back to university. They didn’t say the going back to university part… I just assumed.
5. I miss my friends. =(.

I got two reviews for the chapter 1 of Birthday Party but I think I will rewrite parts of it because it’s enjoyability is unsatisfactory to myself.

I haven’t gotten chapter 3 of duet yet, I wonder if she removed my email from the mailing list because I’ve somehow offended her the last time I sent an edited version over.

Over and out.
