I just had a look at my friend J.'s blog (that his form of anonymous friend-mention, which is also suitable for my purposes) for the first time in a while. He has some entertaining, but some interesting and admirable new year's resolutions, one of which is to write more. I really want to make more of an effort to write as well, especially on my blog. I find myself with thoughts that I understand about how I see the world, but when it comes to verbalizing them in conversation they tends to come out as mumbled garbage, something along the lines of "I like boobies" (a profound and important thought but which could be certainly expanded upon and clarified). Writing forces you to organize thoughts into words that are going to sit on the screen in front of you instead of just floating as vague clouds of words that can't be expressed to another person but make sense inside the limited confines of my brain. When it comes to actually putting words onto, er, paper, I always get the feeling that my grasp of the language isn't as good as I pretend or think it is, so I should really work on that. I just wish my computer was in a more comfortable place in the house...
