Resurrected!
Technically speaking, I’ve spent the past … month or so stewing on LiveJournal because my old hostess left the domain in tatters. And somehow it hasn’t been enough (I missed the Wordpress interface like hell), so now I’m re-constructing Wandering Mind from the ground up. A belated thanks to Skye for this domain and subdomain, and Amanda for her encouragement on my Facebook.
So why am I using a template for my theme? Because in all honesty, I was an idiot, did not back up my files from my old weblog, and cannot be arsed coming up with something original; the PHP will make heads roll and mine will ache from the amount of times I’ve scratched it. Although I may end up making something simple, just for the sake of (complete? Nah.) self-satisfaction. It’s actually been a while since I’ve used a template, and for some reason it makes me feel oddly fulfilled - it co-incides with my graduation; an extremely bad case of un-motivation. Study? No. Never heard of the word before, is it a new phenomenon?
Just a quick note: I won’t be posting too often on here. Well, let me re-phrase that - it’ll be intermittent. There honestly aren’t enough interesting occurrences in my day-to-day life that I see fit to write about; mostly it’s just fleeting thoughts and “Oh, shit, I got swooped by a magpie for the umpteenth time today!”, neither of which really “whip me into a verbal frenzy” (kudos to 10 Things I Hate About You). But let’s see where this goes.
Anyway. For readers new and old, if you ever come across me again, give me a jolly good poke. I need to catch up on everything that’s been happening in the blogosphere. :)
Edit @ 11:18 PM: Holy crap, I found my old theme! Needless to say … it makes me twitch? I see so many things wrong with it … *headdesk* That aside, I’ll keep it up for a bit. But bear with me - I need to iron out all the creases that I’ve spotted (five already … and I’ve only had it up for eight minutes!).

I’ve always loved using WP pre-made templates. :P Other people do the hardwork, and they do the updates and debugging with every version as well. You just work your http://FTP. :)
Good to see your blog back up though.

Reply:Ah, true - but then despite that, you sometimes get to the point where you want that lovely light-weight modern theme SO MUCH! … and there’s one ickle thing you don’t like at all that prevents you from selecting it. *headdesk* *jabs back*

Well I know what you mean about losing information, I had a writings site up on a fairly unreliable server for a while and after the huge process of finding and reposting all my writings I couldn’t be bothered about remaking a layout from scratch.
Thankfully those days are more or less over, and my host is loverly :D
Anyways hopefully you will stick around and blog a bit more, now that I’ve discovered your blog. That and if you’re anything like me you’ll want it around for those mad doses of frenzied inspiration… or more like the procrastination boring into your mind and the need to feel like you’re doing something that’s on your to-do list (Why, I’m updating my blog!)
