Wed, 23 May 2012 13:10:57 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 Tumblr http://amandaosborn.com/2012/04/04/tumblr/ http://amandaosborn.com/2012/04/04/tumblr/#comments Wed, 04 Apr 2012 14:05:57 +0000 Amanda http://amandaosborn.com/?p=1178 About two weeks ago I stopped updating my daily happiness journal on Tumblr. My original goal was to update it for a year, and I did update that journal all throughout 2011. Now, though, I feel like I have achieved what the goal of that journal was: to realize that every day, I do have something to be happy about, no matter what went on that day.

Also, closing up shop with my daily happiness journal gave me a reason to create a personal Tumblr account. There’s a ton of great stuff on Tumblr and I’ve always wanted to play around with it and be part of the Tumblrverse (if that’s even a word!). So, I present to you: musicalpoem, my personal Tumblr account.

tl;dr: If you’re on Tumblr, add me! ;)

The worst part of it is the fact that the individual that wrote the entry has a background in communications!

Just because everyone can blog in today’s day and age doesn’t mean that everyone actually should. Especially if the content you write for a blog is going to represent you academically and/or professionally. (Take note, Author of Aforementioned Horrific Blog Entry.)

No one tweets at me!
Me: Well, you don’t have to tweet at someone. You can just tweet.
Boyfriend: Tweet about what?
Me: I mean, whatever. Here, take a look at my Twitter for some examples.
Boyfriend: Your latest tweet says “I really want chocolate cake. Better yet, a chocolate malt milkshake.”
Me: Okay, maybe that wasn’t the greatest example.
Boyfriend: People actually tweet stuff like that?
Me: Hey, someone could’ve brought me cake or a milkshake after reading my tweet! Things like that DO happen!
