I posted recently about how my blog seems to tend towards the negative. This is one of the reasons why my parents are continually worried about my happiness, despite the fact that I think I’m as happy or happier than I’ve ever been. I’ve also talked with my mom about how she doesn’t really get to see the little things that happen to me day to day, because we don’t talk that frequently.
One of the solutions to this is just to talk more often, possibly for shorter conversations. My sister and I have been working on that. But I thought another thing that might help is “microblogging”.
Microblogging was originally for keeping activity logs (”I’m going to take a shower”, “I just found a snickers bar in the couch”, etc). It’s since been used for bookmarking streams, news feeds, and a variety of other creative social purposes. But I’m going to use my microblog to keep track of things that happen to me that I think are worth noting, but not worth blogging about.
For now I’m keeping it on Twitter:
“I just found a snickers bar in the couch”?
a. how the hell do you lose a snickers bar in the couch?
b. what do you do when you find it?
