Disclaimer: I wrote this in only a few minutes as I now decide to actually write it (so it's not the nitpicking as I oirignaly intended before this writing). Also, save for minor edits, this is what was flowing out of my head as soon as I took the pencil to paper as they came so no offense, Reina fans. (I'm also serious about the blog hosting questions too).

   It's September 22nd, one day from one month that could change the blog forever. As I write about this potential entry in my new journal while "Tsumiki-Asobi" by Shiina Ringo (Favorite. Song. Ever!) plays, I let my thoughts flow. Isn't this free writing, an important skill, an important technique in writing they teach you in school? I only have one day to make this entry, this piece of writing, work. I may stop to sharpen this increasingly dull pencil but why? My thoughts flow further....

"Should my revival be on WordPress or IntlWota?"

"How would my fanbase react to what I had planned?"

"Why am I writing next to my dinner plate, sitting on a desk in the computer room in my new home?"

"Should I stop? My hand hurts from writing with... OWWWW!"

Pause!

Continue.

"Reina is hogging the spotlight again! I know she's the ace but come on! Even the other leads had to share lines, you harpy!"

"Man, my blog is vacant."

"I doubt Pengie would host this blog; it's too... so not 'unchained.'"

Pause!

Continue.

    Is this what my blog is? 11 months of robotic reviews, pseudo-rants, batches, over-looked mini-essays, failures, and absenses? Do I want a blog that is a cheap parody of itself? I'm a random, "light" fan whose thoughts often simmer around in her head more so than on paper or cyberprint. Well, I'm only beginning the process and that is always the hardest part of it all, be it writing or blogging.

    It may or may not be more empty due to me currently being in college but I WANT MoniMete to last long. Now that I'm one month away from my biggest blogging achievement from being noticed by "International Wota" (even if I classify more or less as a casual fan than as a "wota." Then again, the mood and tone of the blog reflects that and it's always nice to hear from a different perspective).

    As I look at these white pages with their magenta lines and pink flowers, my dinner reacting to the air, the shining fuschia ribbon bookmark that looks like something Michishige gave to a charity, listening to Ringo-san sing "I really feel it too," I jot down my thoughts with little idea of the point of it all... or my point's already made.

    In the meantime, enjoy some pepper (I'll review it later, another time as the countdown continues)...

BTW Eat as many of the cookies from the cookie jar as you want because Henkka only had one ;). (Besides, I promised a "strawberry" for guessing the title to the previous post but meh *gives Henkka-san his promised gift*).
