Starting a Blog Because I Got a Youtube Short About It and That Seemed Better Than Doomscrolling (Hello!)

 So why does one even do a blog?  

    I've tried tumblr, got lonely about it, got sad on it. Felt too private and I had too big ideals. Found myself more awkward online than in person and yelling into the void wasn't satisfying enough.  I've now got a discord server with friends that acts as a sort of private site for the lot of us. We have channels we call "rooms" dedicated to a person so they can complain, or share cool things, or talk about whatever in the safe view of all 10ish people who are alive there (but really its the view of the 2-3 people who actually read everything). Anyways. That servers been scratching my itch of complaining and wanting to be seen about it, but I kind of miss the public void.  Miss having a spot to archive what I've been up to and what I'm doing. And this seems like the better place for it than tumblr or a server. Means I can have a place to do it without it being muddled with reblogs or conversations in between, which makes the organized archivist in me quite happy. 

 What am I doing with this blog? 

    Truth be told. Not a clue. Will probably be rambling about my interests and hyper-fixations-- which currently consists of Fall Out Boy, bass, fashion, music, craft projects, and typography-- and complaining about a lot more too. I'm a uni student, there's always plenty to complain about it. Especially about my fuckass landlord (who btw, just sent an email yesterday asking us to confirm whether or not we wanted to renew our lease 3 days from then. which we're pretty sure is illegal in Canada). I'll talk about stuff here so I don't have to subject my 6 roommates to it, which I don't think will actually stop them from being subjected to my rambles but this will probably be a pretty good alternative outlet! 

    I'm also hoping this becomes a resource of text for me. I'm studying graphic design and while I rarely do any design work out of class, I'm hoping to change that this year. My issue is that I never have copy- text that can be used in a design- so I'm hoping starting a blog of rambles will effectively create myself a resource for that and I can actually start making stuff in my off time. Stars know my portfolio needs it. 

 

With that, I'm Amuro and

Thank you Mothclub for bringing to my attention that I can, in fact, do this!
