I have returned. Yep, I have come back to my MovealbeType blog. And while I highly doubt anyone will read this since I haven't bothered to blog all summer, I feel good about doing it. I hate clicking on my blog and seeing an empty screen.
I'm not going to go into what I've been doing all summer. Really, I'm not even going to make this post very long. It's a short snippet- something to say that yes, I am still alive and well. Or maybe just alive.
Now, I hate to feel like a traitor but...I do have another blog. One I update with alarming frequency. It's a Xanga. I've turned to the other side. Not that I'll completely disregard this one (I can't, I have Jerz in the fall) but most of my blogging time is spend elsewhere. I don't even know why I got it- because a lot of my friends have one, I suppose. I must say though, I enjoy the usability of MoveableType much better. And the freedom to leave annonymous comments. Xanga has taken me some time to get used to.
And I'm finished. Summer has made me lazy, I guess. I'll just go read some trashy beach novel now...
Posted by VanessaKolberg at July 19, 2005 9:37 PM | TrackBackHm.... I wonder whether anyone's written about "blog guilt"? You show two kinds -- one for not having written here, and one for feeling "like a traitor". I'm glad you stopped by here... happy reading!

Posted by: ChrisU at July 21, 2005 5:42 PMI am completely amazed. I seriously thought everyone had all but given up on checking this blog. Thanks though!
Chris- I have American Literature next semester.
Oh, I guess I should post the link to my "traitor" site- http://www.xanga.com/Special_K_7. (Yeah, it has the same name. I'm only so creative.)
Dr. Jerz- I still do have some guilt. Perhaps I could, dare I say it, try to balance two blogs?! We'll see...
Posted by: Nessa at July 21, 2005 10:36 PMNessa, over the summer you should write what you want to write, where you want to write it.
I'd love to see you in Newswriting this fall -- you're a good writer and a delight to have in a classroom.
