Ch-ch-ch-changes

Well, I think this blog has finally outlived his usefulness.

You can now find me at prticipntobsrvr.blogspot.com.

I set it up a couple days ago and have made a few posts to break it in. I think it will suit me a lot better.

Read the plan to get an idea how I'm going to try to balance all the things I want to do.

Ciao, jemesouvie.

Finding my inter-niche

So, I haven't updated in a while.

This is partially because I've been busy and partially because I feel a little trapped by this blog.

What do I mean?

First off, the name of the blog. Je me souviens is French for "I remember." Which just kinda sets you out with this back-looking persona right from the beginning. I don't want to write like that, to be like that. I want to have a more positive forward-looking blog.

Which means a new name.

Secondly, I need an inter-niche. What does this mean? This is a tacky mash-up of the words internet and niche. And it is something I need. Anna has her mommy-blog theme, the Amys have their recently married blogs, Kelly has her fashion stuff, and I can't seem to find the appropriate place for what I want to write about.

I want to post about current (often international) events and what I think about them, throw in theory occasionally, some art/design stuff from time to time, creative writing, and life-related things (like trying to get into grad school or survive my VISTA service).

I just don't know what that looks like, or what a good name for that would be.

Ideas? How did everyone else come up with their names/internet personas?
