so i've been waiting to see the final results of the poll before writing much more on here... it seems most of you wish this blog were part of bate's klog. the more i thought about it though, the more i decided to leave it separate. the poll was like asking someone which earrings you should wear -- hearing your opinion helped me solidify my own.
i'm leaving it separate because i don't think i would honestly write these contemplative kind of thoughts on bate's klog. if i joined the two, i would basically just be killing this one with nothing taking its place. there are a lot of thought processes that i just have to use more words for, and i don't like cluttering up the other blog with so much wordiness. it seems like a picture story/event/news type place.
i feel more free to write long writings on here, like i'm journaling more than updating.

so there you have it.

soon to come: more long, wordy, contemplative writings!
