It has been almost a year since I updated this blog.  I found some old friends on facebook who asked what I’d been up to since  I left FSU.  I told them they could read this blog if they really wanted the blow-by-blow account.  And then I realized that I hadn’t looked back at it in a long time.  So I did.

And my how I’ve grown.

Here I sit in China (for full details, see my travel blog at http://www.eastisrelative.com) reminiscing about old times and the various stages of my life.  What I posted a year ago in “End of an Era” is extremely accurate, and since then, I’ve only become more self-assured and focused.  Of course, I still complain to my family and friends, but more often than not, when someone asks how I am or how I’m doing, the response is positive.  Reading back on my blog posts from 2003, where it seemed that my sole purpose in life was to bemoan my miserable existence, I realize that even with the minor complaining prattle of everyday life, I am so much happier now than I ever was before.  I’m so glad I came to China.  I’m glad I took the leap and took a chance; I’m finding myself more and more everyday (and this after a day where I’ve bummed around the apartment doing nothing!).

The main reason I wrote this post is because I wanted to tell anyone who still looks here or gets an RSS feed that I have a regularly-updated travel blog (usually a post every 4-6 days) and that my day-to-day minutiae gets reported at my twitter account.  I’m leaving contact information for you to follow me elsewhere.

I may return to the “personal blog” arena after I return from China.  Twitter just seems to suit my preference for keeping up with people – I can prattle about things as they happen without feeling like I’m wasting someone’s time with a blog post.

I guess as the technology continues to evolve, so will my use of it.  For now, find me at the following places:

TRAVEL BLOG: East is Relative
TRAVEL TWITTER: eastisrelative
PERSONAL TWITTER: slytherin82
EMAIL: katie@eastisrelative.com

If you don’t have my facebook account information, please send me an email and I will give it to you.  If you want to be on my friends-and-family email list (which is updated much less than all the rest of those other methods), send me an email and I will add you.
