This is my official first posting for my new blog that I've titled "This Side of the Blue" after the Joanna Newsom song. I have used livejournal in the past but never had a blog from any other site, and I also stopped using the other ones quite a while ago. I thought that it was time to start again, and I hope to actually dedicate time to this.
One topic that I will probably be posting a lot about is my pets. I have three cats, three chinchillas, and four hamsters. However, the number of hamsters has just increased because my new girl, Mitsu, whom I adopted a week ago has unexpectedly had a litter! I have seen four but I know not to disturb the nest so there could be more. They are small, red, and pretty amazing and I hope that they all make it. I will have to sex them and then figure out how many to keep as I don't think I have room for them all. I will hopefully get pictures in the next two weeks, it really is incredible to think that something so small can have a heart and lungs and tiny bones. I will create a section that introduces all of my pets at a later time.
School starts in less than a week, I'm so happy that my classes are online, it's so flexible. This is my last year and then I will have my Bachelor's degree! Of course, that means that I will have to find a full time job, something that I am not looking forward to. It is tough out there, or so I've heard.
That is going to be all for tonight. It is nearly 5:30 am and I should get to sleep.
