Reasons; or Excuses by Another Name

While reminding a friend of the continued existence of this blog a few minutes ago - available as a source of newsworthy and non-newsworthy updates alike on my goings-on - it did jog my memory that I have not been posting as actively as I perhaps would expect myself to.

There are obvious reasons for this, or as I have more honestly termed them, excuses by another name.

The first is the supposed lack of readership. However, I have never posted for a real audience, knowing that this audience is precisely nil, so it is a distraction. Usually I post because either I enjoy writing, occasionally because I have something to say, or more typically because something is irritating me.

I've also had less time to post recently. This isn't true either. I've had roughly the same amount of time - I've still been home the same time the majority of evenings, and in bed a similar time. I've not been in my room as much so haven't been at the computer and posting, but when I have been, I have simply avoided it or forgotten.

A further suggestion could be that I've simply not had much to talk about recently - less to communicate in my life. This is also inaccurate, considering that I have been working on moving, shopping for items for the new place, meeting friends, many other activities all transpiring. Considering how I would happily fill many blogs without saying anything, this is hardly a reason for a lack of a post!

The other is simply that with Chrissi here, I've been more relaxed, sharing more things with her as I've been able to when I come in - and needing less to post on here to get things off my chest or to make note of memorable things as they occur. This is the most plausible.

However, I am determined to write a little more frequently. As this long excuse has gone on enough, I'll end it here and be determined to pick up the metaphorical writing baton again in the next couple of days.
