It's time to pay the price

...titled only because that is the name of the Home Movies episode I happen to be watching as I type.

It is actually that time again, when I create a new blog entry on my Xanga just for the sake of doing it. I doubt with so many blog posts here back in the day that my blog would ever get shut off, but I suppose it is prudent to update at least once a year to ensure no accidentally shut-offs occur.

Anyway, nothing too significant on the Dorienne front: I got promoted a couple times and I write every now and again.

Read about my writing exploits here: http://kaitco.wordpress.com and my general exploits here: http://blog.doriennesmith.com

Until next year Xanga...

It took me ten minutes to find out how to add a new entry

Very, very sad Xanga. This is why Wordpress pwns you people.

I keep coming across this old blog in my various scourings of my Firefox Bookmarks and, while I readily use my own blog (http://blog.doriennesmith.com) and now my Twitter (http://twitter.com/kaitco) more than I could ever hope to use Xanga, I'm still unsure about what to do with this place...

I had actually hoped some source of inspiration would come in the time it took me to write the above paragraph, but...it hasn't, so I suppose this is just another nonsensical post about nonsense. A meaning for my Xanga will come to me soon, but for now, I will just keep Twittering and WordPressing and just doing me until an idea strikes.

Leave a place for a year and a half and they start changing things

Hm...my Xanga. How I long for the days when I could write needless crap about my life within it.

I'm in the process of writing three novels. Flight, a novel is almost completed and I know I'll feel sad once it's done because I've spent the better part of the past two years working on it in one way or another. Now, I'm working on another SVU fanfiction novel, a Harry Potter fanfiction novel and, of course, my beloved very first novel.

I can't wait until it's done. I plan on wallpapering my library/second bedroom with rejection letters for it until one publisher realizes the genius on paper they will be holding and gives me a chance.

That's all for Xanga today. Perhaps more a week later...

And now it's time to leave

So, for the past nine months, I've enjoyed all the wonderfulness that was Xanga. Unfortunately, however, my needs have now exceeded what Xanga can provide for me and it is time to move on to greener pastures.

I've moved all posts and comments from this blog to my own server and will be updating there thenceforth. Thank you for embarking on my Xanga journey and, now follow me into my own little word: blog.doriennesmith.com.

A moment.

Yesterday, I sang in the Mass Choir for the first time. It was fun and we sang a lot of the songs I have loved throughout the time I have been coming to this church. I like the idea of singing in our choir. It feels like I am literally praising God (wow, that sounds corny), and I feel so good afterward.
Anyway, I've always wondered what is about that song "Stand." It's so emotional, no matter who leads it or which choir sings it. It always gets people to their feet and I had to fight back tears; not specifically happy tears, but just highly emotional. Then, came the altar call and I had to grab a tissue afterward. I looked around and half the people in the church were dabbing their eyes. I cried, not because of the song, but because during the prayer, I truly came to realize what our pastors had been saying for quite some time. At that moment I realized, every day with Jesus really is better than the day before. It was just an interesting moment for me, and it made me cry.
