Blogging! Haven’t done that in a while. Haven’t really done anything all summer worthy of writing about either though, I guess.

Not that I haven’t produced any content. I started using Twitter a while ago, and that’s been pretty fun. I don’t really use it to answer the traditional “What are you doing” question, so much as a place to dump one-liners and random humorous anecdotes. And to track others who are (more adeptly) using it in a similar regard. If you’re new to Twitter, I also recommend checking out Favrd, a site that tracks which Twitter posts many people are marking as favorites, to get an idea of what I mean.

Here’s a selection of decent tweets by yours truly:

Lindsey: I’m considering minoring in Women’s Studies.

July 30

Signs of a Bachelor Lifestyle: I have refrigerated, reheated, and eaten a bowl of leftover ramen noodles.

You can hit up my Twitter profile for more. Some more, anyhow—I can’t currently access more than a page’s worth of my older tweets. Have I mentioned Twitter has serious, debilitating capacity problems?
