December 28, 2007: "2007"
i told people that i feel guilty about not posting recently, so i was just going to do one of those "hey, i'm not dead" entries... and here you go.
but i've managed to keep up on a few blogs, and i guess everyone's doing those "as i look back on this past year..." thing, and i don't want to be left out, so... you know, substance in writing is the way to go... i can't seem to stop with these ellipses...
...
anyway, i hope everyone had a good holiday. i usually choose "good" as my adjective for these types of things, but then when i read it again, i rethink it because it looks like i'm wishing you all a mediocre time. but i'm not, don't worry. i'm really wishing for the bestgreatestfantabulous memory ever.
it's clearly good for several reasons that i haven't blogged in over a month.
i'm not really partial into making my blogs into those times for reflections. i have a much more exciting time converting my life into an amusing story - through both moments of happiness and sadness because happiness permeates and at least when i'm sad, someone can find it entertaining - and somehow, it seems that setting it down in writing makes it matter.
it usually takes about two or three years for me to start thinking, "yo jesus, i'm a different person." (because "yo jesus" is clearly interchangeable with the likes of "holy shit") it's when i go back and assess and compare connie of the present to connie of the past, and i did this about a few months ago, so i'm not due for another two or three years. see, times of happiness to share with you.
and as much as i change through the years, there are several savors i'd like to maintain, one of which is the ability to regale others. i'm not quite sure what i've become today, or of how others' perception of me might have changed (you still love me, right?), but at the end of the day - and at the end of my life - i think i will always hope that everyone has a smile on his/her face, that everyone is happy, if even for a second. and so, when you visit my site, i hope it takes you away, for even just a moment, from your taxing life. or perhaps my pitiful attempts at humor might still bring a smile to your face if only to mark the beginnings of a laugh at my writing and ramblings. it's there to liven you, to inspirit you, to happinessify you.
that's a word.
happy few days before 2008. thank you all for being an audience, a visitor. a friend.

I've been doing the same as you. Abandoning my own website and only post entries of those, "I'm not really dead, but I won't type a lot of entries like usual". I'm looking forward to a site clean up and updating things. I hope you have a well start with the year.

I love the way you write and how you make everything you write sound so amusing. It really makes me smile, every time. :D
I hope you had a nice New Year's day, and happy 2008!

I still love you - and yes you made me smile for a second today, even though I've smiled quite a lot today.
Wishings for more than a mediocre continued winter!

Its good to reflect on your past and think about the ways you've changed. When you do that it makes you feel like a better person (if it was for the good) and it really gives me this warm and bubbly feeling on the inside(no... its not gas... lol).
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

omg a new blog! *squeals like an excited school girl* (which I am by the way)
Happy New Year!
happinessify is the best word ever, and i was definitely happinessified at the end of your blog.

Heeyyy connie!!! Do you remember me, kind of? Lol, it's Shelly and I used to own a blog called Blurbs. But I let that die and I've finally gotten a new domain and blog up. ^^ Way to start a new year for me huh? hehe, and yay for reflective posts! I think out of all the ones I've read so far, yours is the sweetest and the best. It sums up things a lot, things that applies to others as well as to yourself. And it gets the whole resolution thing out of the way very subtly too...unless I'm just reading too much into things. =_= BUT BUT, I'm glad to have been able to get to your blog again! wheee!!!
Hope you have a great new year and all of that good stuff!!!
Love love love!

Happy new year! I don't think too much about myself. I just go on living and learning.

Happy New Year! I'm glad your not dead, haha.
you're right, good totally = mediocre C:

Haha, I have never ran into someone who used "yo jesus"!! That is funny, but you're right, lol. I'm glad you posted again. I can't even remember just how many years we have been commenting each other.. it's been forever!! I hope you keep posting... and not once a month!! Lol.

At last! A non 'I'm reflecting on this past year, sobsob, ohhh the memories' entry. I congratulate you, though I think I'm on the verge of writing one of said entries too.
D: Such lack of self-esteem. You made me crack up the first time I read your blog.
[Lilly] Saturday, December 29th
Just going to say, right now, that I'm sniping "Yo Jesus" to use in place of "Holy Shit." Also, you sound a bit like me.
[claire] Saturday, December 29th
Everyone hopes that happens and if they dont I certainly do unless i'm ranting. then i want you to feel mad with me. but i agree with you about writing when you're sad. makes you feel when ppl read it like someone cares.
[Jess] Saturday, December 29th
AWW YOUR BACK!! =D I missed your quirky entires and non-capital-ness =P
I love ellipsis too... when I tell stories, I never actually end stories... I just keep using ellipsis... kinda like this... =P haha
I'm the opposite of you... everytime some sort of event happens to me, I get all philosophical about myself and life. Such as a month ago, I met a whole lot of new people and made new friends and I had to take a think. Just today in fact, my boyfriend and I broke up. So what do I do? Take another think =P and analyse anything, everything and nothing.
I do indeed love the way you write... it does happinessify me HAHA =P. I really admire that you can take a positive take on everything in your life. I find that very hard to do, and often find myself just ranting. =( *hopes to become more like Connie* =D
Take care, glad you're back =)
[Courtney] Saturday, December 29th
A heartfelt entry...=)) Not only am I glad to have this blog to check up for silly fun things, but I feel like I've met a friend, as well. ^^ So, in that way, you've definitely made it worthwhile...at least for me...and I'm not sure how others could not be at least a little entertained by your ramblings. =D
I hope you had an *awesome* Christmas season and etc., and thanks for your comment! ^^
