the pursuit of better blogging

or just more blogging, at least. let's be honest, through the duration of fall semester i was less than awesome at blogging. as i mentioned previously, one of my new year's resolutions is to blog more often, and to guarantee that i get off to a good start i'm going to steal an idea that i've seen going around tumblr. it's a very myspace-esque survey-thing, circa two-thousand-and-five, but it'll do the job just fine. i'm going to post a post every day for the next thirty days, and to make sure i do it, i've got a list of thirty questions to answer. one for each day of january. i full heartedly encourage you to join in. steal my questions, find new ones, or make your own. if you don't have a blog, post your own answers as comments to mine. may this interrogative heart-to-hardt get me back on track, help you learn a little bit about me, and visa-versa. here are the questions:

1. If you were to attend a costume party tonight, what or whom would you go as? 2. What are your choice of toppings on a hamburger? And do you prefer gas or charcoal grilling? 3.

How long until the wedding? 10. Which is worse, being in a place that is too loud, or too quiet? 11. What is one quality that you really appreciate in a person? 12.

You are then told that you may either keep it or exchange it for another envelope that may contain $500 or may be empty.
