renewed interest

hello out there.

i find myself experiencing a renewed interest in the blogosphere. since i left my position at the library a year ago, I really haven’t played with the interweb at all. i have barely even read the blogs of close friends. but, i think i feel ready to jump back into the virtual world. i don't know why exactly. perhaps my interest is a response to the blogging example john paul has been setting. i suppose his blog should be enough to record the general goings-on round here, but i guess i have blog-envy.

earlier today, heather was telling about tumblelogs. having been away for a while, i am quite outside of the loop. i was looking at looking at marcel’s tumblelog and, while i find it interesting, i think i prefer the personal blog. i like the innocent glimpses into other people’s lives; i enjoy the way people blend their personal stories in with the things they find fascinating about the world.

anyway, it feels good to be here.
