My 50th postday
If I fail my exams, you know who's fault it will be? Jordan Mechner. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is far too good a game, and one I should probably have completed years ago, when I bought it. Now I have a Physics paper, three English essays, dozens of English quotes and more revision to do and I can't stop playing the bleeding game.
Oh, well. On to more important matters. Less trivial, anyway.
This is my fiftieth post to TWToday. I'm extremely impressed with myself. I don't think I've ever done fifty of anything with out any outside pressure. Sure, I've breathed in and out more than fifty times in my life, but there was more of a reason for that than “because I felt like it”. And don't get me started on air pressure.
I think it's traditional when you reach a milestone like this to do something special. TV shows often have either very important or very funny episodes to mark the occasion. Bad TV shows have clip shows. Magazines look back on the previous years of publishing. Webcomics creators like to make cameos in their comics, giving themselves a pat on the back. Everyone wants to thank their viewers, their listeners, their readers, etc.
I don't think I can do any of those things, since I don't seem to have any viewers or readers (I may have some listeners, but I'd never know and neither would they), and in the grand scheme of things fifty posts probably isn't that much. But it represents something. I'm not sure what, but it might be determination, resolve, the courage to stand up for what you believe in every day, the feeling of immortality that comes from putting your views out into the world... or that blogging is a highly addictive and dangerous pastime. It's probably that last one, considering all the sleep this little hobby has robbed me of.
Anyway, I haven't really got much to say (I thought I had but I seem to have forgotten it all) and I promised something special for this, my fiftieth post. So here it is.
I have this really weird tickly cough. I'm not sure what's causing it but I'm starting to suspect that, because I haven't shaved, the hairs on my chin are running out of room and have begun to grow inwards.
If that's not special, I don't know what is.
