Dump one in favor of the other

I’m all over the web, that is no news to me. However, it surprises me when I remember a long-forgotten profile or blog (surprising because I have a rusty memory). It surprises me even more when I go back and there it is!
I had no such luck with my first blog … I can’t even remember the blog host anymore, I only know it has long been extinct, the domain or site was sold to another host and they didn’t make it easy, they just erased the users and re-instated the spaces per-request … only problem was, I didn’t remember my username and password by the time I turned back to look for it
Just a few moments ago I remembered Fotolog, a site that hosts just that: fotologs. Instead of blogging, you upload a picture and you blog, if you wish. Simple concept, and I started out fine with it. I uploaded frequently at the beginning and started forgetting it some time after that. At the end, my posts were far in between. All in favor of Flickr, I suppose.

Still, my Fotolog has done me the favor of conserving some pictures that, when looked back upon, remind me of things and moments somehow forgotten. It’s easier to revisit the past on a website than to dig into a hard drive full of unfiltered pictures.
Some highlights:

My last bachelorette pad before moving back in with family and eventually moving in with Eze.

My in-your-face nose-ring. Very short lived for a piercing. My other piercings (navel, tongue) survived my office jobs for years! And then I got fed up with snagging my navel with pant buttons or biting on my tongue barbell and breaking my teeth…

That fateful weekend (in collage).
Yeah, that one was FUN!

Reminders of my “pink phase” … it has a lot to do with the previous picture.

A time when we didn’t have a washing machine.
… and so on and so forth … I don’t know if I would have the energy and/or the time to go back to fotologging. But it seems like it could be worth it.
I’ll think about it.
