Acid Pops!

I’m sure that one of these days I’ll break down and get a website or something, but as I do not want a free one and am a broke college student, that route is not currently an option.

In the meantime, I’ve added a few (ie two) new pages to the non-blog section of the blog. The first covers past projects and the second covers current projects, so that bored and interested parties might be able to learn a little bit more about my writing. Both pages will be permanently accessible through the menu on the left-hand side of your screen (under the “About Anna” page which is directly beneath the sultry grad-day photo of yours truly).

The best part of either page really must be the little banners. Actually, they’re the reason why I decided to do the listings in the first place. I got on a bit of a paint.NET binge and decided that it’d only be really pathetic if I couldn’t say that they had some purpose. Purpose is born!

But you shouldn’t be reading over my random projects right now; you should be heading to the theater to watch Half Blood Prince along with everyone else in the world. I’ll be going that direction myself in the next couple of hours, so just pretend that we’re theater buddies. But I warn you: I scare easily. Yeah, I’m totally that annoying viewer in the back of the audience who jumps and gasps when they aren’t supposed to, and then acts as if it’s the result of a nervous condition. I can’t help it if I spasm! Ask my doctor!

Then tomorrow I’m off to spend some time with my grandmother again. I don’t know how long I’ll be there—I’m assuming till at least Friday, but it may turn into a shorter stay than expected. But my work-in-progress needs a kick-start so we’ll see.

In the meantime, while you’re pining away for me like I tell myself you will be, watch that movie and give me your thoughts. And then read my project summaries and tell me how silly I am. Mind-reading squirrels…? Seriously, Anna? Yes, seriously. It’s a nervous condition. Ask my doctor.

Oh the Humanity!

“Goodness!” you’re thinking, if you’ve stumbled by before today. “What happened to the domain name?  And the website?  And… well, and everything?”

It’s gone, dear reader.  Gone in a fit of passion just as it arrived.

At least you can’t say that I didn’t try.

Okay, so you can.

And so I didn’t.  But hear my plea!  As a freshman set to leave for a college far from home, as a writer still slaving away over words and characters and semicolons, as a young grasshopper among the masters of literature and publishing…It began to all seem so silly.  It takes a lot of time to run a website, and that is simply something that I’m drained of.  Jetting off to university also means that I’ve recently been demoted to Broke College Student, which really isn’t all that far from Starving Artist.  Alas, alack, sacrifices must be made.

Besides, the website was only an offshoot of the original blog idea.  Perhaps I shall return to it one day (the files are tucked safely on my hard drive), but, until then, contend yourself with this blog.  I mean it wasn’t as if you were going to visit the site anyway, right? ;)

Much love to you and yours, and please know that I am much relieved not to have the weight of that domain name on my shoulders.  The fact that my money will (hopefully) soon be zooming back to my pocketbook is also a comfort.
