Freshness? What freshness?

Friday, May 29th, 2009

So let’s just jump straight into the deep end and say that any kind of a fresh, exciting start for this blog is squashed considerably by the fact that I’m currently hacking up a lung. But I’m kind of hoping the prescription pills I have (of which I’ve consumed several, I assure you) will live up to its imaginary double-life-purpose and make both myself and this blog better so that we both don’t die horrible, horrible deaths. If all else fails, then it’s off to the doctor again next week!

For everyone who’s reading right now, you either know me or you don’t. So I’ll introduce myself briefly: My name is Xuan, I’m old enough to drink and vote (in that specific order), and I blog…sporadically. I like to observe the completely unnecessary details in my everyday life, whilst only paying a slice of my attention to things that are actually important. If you already know me, you’ll also know that my blog kind of went splat a week or two ago… My greyclouds.net domain decided to throw itself off a cliff, so now I’m kindly hosted by the Melbournian with the considerable cleavage. But I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Skye for being such a great hostess over the last… year? Two years? Crikey, I’ve lost count.

In any case, welcome (back) to… err… this thing I’ve yet to (re)name. Bear with me, I’ll get there. I find myself having to juggle this with upcoming exams (hijack: Statistics can suck my left testicle), dancing, generally doing this thing called “living”… Hmm. Oh, and the whole throat infection thing, y’know? Who wants a turn at it, anybody? There’s a 2-For-1 deal going right now – get a throat infection and you 1) don’t study much because you’re too busy coughing, and 2) get to try to ward off a constant barrage of jokes about you having swine flu!

Sounds extra-tempting when I say it, doesn’t it? Get in quick, this offer only lasts a few days! Exclusively available only at this cough dispensary…
