a big step

The Blog and me just took a big step in our relationship today. We bought a domain name together, I set it up, and now we are officially jenwondering[dot]com. Soon we’ll be planning long weekends away with each other and having dim sum with my parents.

That last part is a joke. I would never want my parents to know of my scandalous internet doings.

This business is getting a little hilarious and creepy as fuck. At least the last one could pretend to not be skeezey?

I understand that my sense of humor is slightly warped at 4 in the morning, but seriously guys. It just… It just can’t get any better than this.
For maximized awesome factor, please gather a group of friends and read out loud.

I stopped watching America’s Next Top Model quite a while ago (because Tyra Banks’ sanity seems to dip with each cycle) but one of the remaining contestants in the current cycle excites me very much (in a non-pervy way) Allison Harvard is  Creepy-chan, a fleeting meme from 4chan named for her freakishly blank photos online. Google results for Creepy-chan confirms my suspicions, which, frankly, creeps me out even more. I know this isn’t a big deal, but it scares me out that not everyone on /b/ lives in their mother’s basement (because some of those people are sick!).

happy star wars day!

May the 4th be with you!

[Edit: I am so, so sorry. I was just, just so cracked from all the work. I would never post something like this when I’m OK. Again, sorry.]

At first I thought this was spam, but I replied to the email anyway just for the LOLs. Well, now that I know there is a real person behind the email, I’m a little freaked out.
Does this happen often, and should I start sleeping with knives and extra pairs of underwear?

what i seem to me

I was recently trolled by the infamous Unfollow Friday. Strangely enough, this has increased my readership. To be honest I don’t really care about being flamed or the increase in readership, but this incident has gotten me thinking about the creation of my image.

I started this blog as part of a New Year’s resolution to write more for myself. I never wanted to turn it into anything huge because I wanted to push original content, mostly reflections about my life. And while I never went through an era of crippling low self-esteem, I have also never pictured myself as the most interesting or special person in the world. Thus, forcing myself to write daily was somewhat of a challenge.

In some ways this blog has become one of the most honest things I’ve ever done. Because I initially kept it private from all of my friends, I found I could write about everything I was going through with little censorship. However, I did restrict myself in certain aspects in an unconscious attempt to create an image of someone likable. I didn’t censor myself, per se, but I refrained from giving in to every urge to post something stupid every other second and from exposing the most private details of my life. Somehow I figured this would cheapen the rest of my other posts, the ones that I spent time on and actually tried to make worth reading.

I’m not sure why I cared so much about this, or at all. I never wrote to an audience, so I could have been as obnoxious and spur-of-the-moment as I’d wanted. Still, it came to me after contemplation that I cared not because I wanted other people to like me, but that I wanted me to like me, years from now, when I look back in retrospect at my 18 year old self. I want to look back and see how I’ve matured into an adult, not how I’ve transformed from idiot to less-idiotic.

In any case, what I seem to be is just an image that I’m projecting from myself, to myself. I don’t care about readership, or about what others really think. Narcissistic as it seems, as long as I like me, it’s all good.
