Noi: The Retrospective

I really like my new blog. It´s so compact and comfortable once everything´s set up, but I still have a short way to go before everything is done. I spent about two hours by tagging all of my (113) entries and sort them into cathegories; now everything is more clearly arranged and can be found quickly if necessary. But the most excited part of the work was to transfer my REALLY old blog entries from HTML-documents to WordPress. I did it manually, so I had no other choice but reading all of them again…for the first time in 4 years.
Yes, I started my very first blog 4 years ago, in the summer of 2004. It was a mere HTML-based homepage, set up all by myself and the entries have been pasted manually into the document, one after another: Writing, copying, pasting, saving, upload. Quite laborious, but that was my first step. The entries were written in German and rather short. When I sat here and read each one of them again, I couldn´t help myself but shaking my head (AKA: *headdesk* @_@) and think of what kind of weird brat I was at the age of 15/16. Really, it´s like reading the thoughts of a completely different person. ô_o Maybe it´s true what the rumors say, after all… I have grown up since then. (+ I managed to curse to a lesser extent in those 4 years…or at least on a more decent way. XD)
Well, it´s not only my behaviour that seems to have fledged to some extent…since my 16-years old self has documented almost every single day in her life in detail, I can perfectly see how my way of living has changed through the years.
Most of my friends lived far away then and I could only communicate via internet. My only duty was school, so my typical day went on like that: Coming home from school in the afternoon, surfing the web, doing the homework, playing something, surfing in the net again until I had to go to bed. If you asked me now about my opinion on such a life…I would say that I never ever want to live like that again. But that doesn´t mean regret anything – it made me the person I am now. I´m not perfect, but mostly content with the way I am. Just imagine this: If I had lived the life of a stereotypical 16-years old teenager then, maybe I would be a kind of Sissi now?  Drinking, partying, shopping, watching Telenovelas and listening to Rihanna – No thanks. I´m happy being the nerdy hermit crab I am. :3
I´m REALLY sad that I couldn´t recontruct the time between 2005 and 2007 – I had my blog hosted on a page named heinzelzwerg.de which is now dead. And I didn´t make any backups, so a very big part of my life documentation has gone. u_u
