Thanks for stopping by my humble little blog.
I'd planned for this to be my ultimate "sanctuary". Somewhere I can relax, unwind and rant about life and the many curve balls it throws at me. When I registered for this blog, I had many other
COSMIC SPONGE
ORIGINS OF LOVE (blame it on Hedwig, I love him to pieces)
STAR STUFF (thanks astronomy, for making me a into a total geek)
HOW TO BE FOUND (absurdly corny)
LIVING IN THE PANIC ROOM (I really was going to go with this as the title, because it just rolls of my tongue. But I thought it was a bit too... negative? BUT, I'd manage to work into the blog description, so it's not a total loss.)
In the end, I stuck with BLIND IN ONE EYE (hereby known as BIOE), because I thought it really embodied my life. I'm fairly young, and still don't know much about "life" (though sometimes I claim otherwise); so oftentimes, it's really as though I'm living through it while blind in one eye. There's another reason why I choose BIOE as the title, but that reason won't be revealed till later.
I'm going to refrain from talking about my self at length in this post because I'm going to put all that in the Profile section. I will make every effort to update this blog regularly. But since I'm still a student, school will have to come first. Hence, I will post a minimum of one post per month. I do have blogs where I post almost weekly - but because it's so often, I don't have to time or energy to proof read or edit those posts, meaning that they are plagued by spelling and grammatical errors.
This blog, hopefully, will be devoid of that. In terms of housekeeping stuff, I'll try to make everything organized and in order. Having read a lot of fantastic blogs, I've learned a thing or two about image presentation and etc.
As this is my first post, I shall end it with a Q&A session. Maybe give you a taste of who I am, what my interests are, etc.
