Number 1. Again.

This is my first blog.  I am completely computer illiterate and today somehow managed to delete my Google account, in turn deleting my Gmail, Blogger, and Youtube accounts.  Go me.  So here I am, starting all over again--for the third or fourth time now--writing my first blog.

I have to find this Blogger account that I followed a long time ago, before my previous Blogger account.  I swear when I do find this person, I am going to store the website name into my computer so I will never lose it again.  Her words are so powerful and ring so true!  But I only know the name of her blog, and not the URL.  I must find it.

Speaking of blog titles, when I think about it, a lot of my posts on my last blog were really depressing and annoying and repetitive (because they were depressing and annoying).  But that's why I chose the title "In Memoriam."  I need a place to store my memories.  Somewhere I could write about "that one time" or "this song reminds me of" without repeating the same story to 5 different friends and seeing the same "get over it" look on 5 different faces, or without repeating it so many times that I sink deeper into those memories, deeper into a place that I can no longer be.  But Lord Tennyson said it best:

I sometimes hold it half a sin
        To put in words the grief I feel:
        For words, like Nature, half reveal
    And half conceal the Soul within.
But, for the unquiet heart and brain,
        A use in measured language lies;
        The sad mechanic exercise,
    Like dull narcotics, numbing pain.
 
-In Memoriam, Section V
Once again, welcome to my blog.
