Heeyy, everyone! It's been so long. I've been busy...I didn't forget about my poor, neglected blog. I want to be more consistent...I just feel like the only things I can blog about on here on fitness related topics; and there's SO much more to me than that. Don't get me wrong...eating healthy, working out, and finding new ways to do both without falling asleep from boredom still tops my list. BUT, there's a lot more to me than protein shakes, squat racks, and lat raises.

SO...what do I do?

I've been comtemplating starting a NEW blog. Where I post about everything from my day, to a picture of the new sweater I bought, to a spirited discussion about 72 day marriages and the merits of false eyelashes.

See? TOLD you I was well-rounded. :p

I don't want to have ANY set topic to write about or NOT write about. Here's the problem: I know as much about blogs as Kim Kardashian probably knows about quantum physics. (Kim, I love you boo. Put down the curling iron.) So what do I do? What website do I use? HOW DO I START? I haven't felt this uneducated since the first day of nursing school.

Oh, wait? You didn't know I was a nurse? To close things out, here's a list of things I like and things about me that HAVE NOTHING TO DO with fitness.

1.) I'm a pediatric nurse. I've been one now for a little over 2 years.
2.) There's something wrong with my laptop keyboard. Letters have been sticking together. Especially the space bar. If I don't look down frequently sometimesthingslookliketis. #grrr
3.) I love Twitter. And #hashtags. Great invention.
4.) I've been in a long-distance relationship for 5 years. I'm moving to the city where my wonderful boyfriend lives in December! (San Francisco, in case ya'll was wondering.)
5.) I KNOW tanning is really bad to do, but I kinda love it and I might've just gotten a one-month membership at the tanning salon down the street. #Confession
6.) I'm a really bad driver. No, really.
7.) I absolutely LOVE reading. I'll read almost any book. When I was younger, my mom used to catch my reading the phone book when I ran out of books. #Embarassing
8.) I have a brilliant, one-sided love/hate relationship with Kim Kardashian. It became a /hate after the 72 day marriage debacle thingy. Surriously, Kim?! But, I LOVE her. She's beautiful, styish, and hella misguided.
9.) I know nothing about video games, but my SO will one day be designing them for a living. So I've been trying to find out more about the gaming industry!

Sooo...there ya go, peeps. If anyone has any suggestions or resources on how I can educate myself when it comes to being a better bloggy blog blogger, leave a comment or email me at AshleyLPelletier@gmail.com

The blogging question comes down to "what do you want to do with it?" For a random brain dump, LJ is perfectly fine. If you're trying to do something more focused, however, moving to a traditional blogging site, like wordpress, or blogger, or blogspot, or even tumblr, might be the way to to (tumblr seems more image-centric, but since I don't tumbl, this is an outsider's view).

For instance, I have:
- LJ for rants, musings, and general bullshit
- Twitter for... twit stuff
- A wordpress blog for my workout-specific stuff (though there is also workout talk on my LJ)
- I also write for a couple "real" websites, but that's paid stuff
