Hiatus

I don't like it when bloggers disappear without explanation. It makes me think something terrible happened, like that they were hit by a car, instead of the more likely and more mundane reason, that they got too busy or too bored to blog. I also don't enjoy blogs wherein most of the posts are a breathless "too busy to write more, but I promise to be better. . . ." This is always especially ironic when its the most recent post and yet is over a few months old. I promised myself if I ever became that blogger I'd give up the game.

I am at a blogging crossroads. I haven't liked much of what I've posted lately, yet I am not ready or willing to quit. I've been blogging regularly since May 2006 and average 20 posts a month. I keep up with a ton of blogs and spend more time goofing off around the intertubes than I care to admit.

So to keep you from thinking I am trapped under heavy furniture,* I'm stepping back for finals period. Any time I have just tried to dial back a little, I end up not doing it. Like most things in my life, I'm not good at moderation when it comes to the blog. It is all or nothing.

So, this was a long way of saying the blog comes full-stop until May 10.

See you then.


Edited to add: you know I really thought about this for a while before I wrote this post. I really wanted to do this, to step back. Yeah... it didn't actually happen.
