Yesterday my roommate closed her blog. She'd been blogging for over a year now, so I was quite surprised when she abruptly announced to me that she had decided not to blog anymore because it was taking up too much of her time (and life in general).
I thought this was odd timing as today I'm writing my first entry underneath my own name. It's rather strange to me that as her blogging comes to a close, mine has just begun... kind of like turnover in a neighborhood. She moved out of Blogdom... and I moved in.
I've posted once before under David's name, but it's all so much more fun when I know that you all can see my name stated in glorious black and white next to "Posted By". I'm rather excited about the opportunity to share this space, authorship, and hobby with David. He can well attest to the fact that I want us to "do everything together". This can sometimes get on his nerves, so let's all pray that this blog-sharing doesn't turn out to be a test of patience but rather a source of joy (no pun intended).

I wasn't expecting to see this tonight. I came to my site to check on something and then I find out two completely new and unexpected things. News on my blog? Nothing on here should be news to me! :)
It is neat to have you on board, Joy. You've had this account on here for so long I didn't think you ever use it. I thought you'd just always post as me. :)
Do you think we should go back and rewrite those other posts of yours under your account now?
Posted by: David at July 14, 2005 12:17 AMNo way man! This is my first official blog entry under my name and I want to keep it that way!
I wrote you an e-mail about the fact that I'd finally invaded your blog, but I guess checking your blog now takes priority over checking your e-mail. That's a good thing for me to know in case I ever need to communicate with you quickly! (:
Posted by: Joy at July 14, 2005 08:40 AMWow, a backwards smiley, that's pretty sweet. It's good to see you post under your own name Joy, welcome to the blog world.
Posted by: Nate at July 14, 2005 10:01 AMYeah Nate, Joy's smileys are always backwards because her emoticons on her computer don't work on AIM for some reason. It is really strange. So, to make sure she gets them through AIM to me... she types them all backwards.
