new starts

it's interesting browsing the list at d-x of where people have moved to, and seeing how when faced with a setback, some people just pick up and start using something else without skipping a beat. i still haven't found anything to use, and i am rather frustrated. i like to think of myself as a fairly adaptable person, but in this case it just doesn't seem like i am interested or willing to adapt to something else. maybe it's because i've actually already used most of the other services, like livejournal, wordpress, blogger, etc., and there's a reason i stuck with d-x for all the years that i did. if i knew perl and anything about databases and site architecture, i would sit down and write my own journal hosting site. i've actually toyed with the idea of learning perl just to do that, but that seems a little extreme. not that being extreme is a bad thing...

it's sooooo cold in my apartment. brr.
