To start off this post, I wanted to show you a video that was made with the story of the wonderful Allie Brosh at Hyperboleandahalf of which I have been deeply addicted to. I suggest you read the original story too, before or after video is up to you.
So I have a ton [total exaggeration] of ideas of things I want to start blogging about on a semi-regular basis. And here they are:
-Random facts that stick with you all of your life. By this, I mean little things that people will tell you in a relevant situation and which either repeats in your head on a daily basis or whenever a similar situation occurs. My best example at the moment that has been happening a lot is my thought process when it comes to cucumbers. Fairly recently, I was eating something, perhaps a salad, and offered my cucumbers to someone. It's not that I dislike cucumbers, not at all, I just prefer more flavorful ingredients in my salads or anything for the matter. However, the other person that was witnessing this act, mentioned that cucumbers give you energy. This was especially important on that particular day because I was incredibly tired. So now, every time I eat or make a salad, I make sure to include cucumbers with that exact sentence repeating in my head for the entire process of my eating. I know, and hope, that a majority of you have experienced this repetition thing before, granted I may be a bit more on the obsessive side with the quantity of the repetition. So yes, I'm going to blog about those random facts that have impacted my life. For this, it will be a bit of a challenge because they only generally come to my mind when I'm in the act, therefore I will have to write these down as they occur.
-Things my sleepy boyfriend says. This is in between Sleep Talking Man and Things My Boyfriend Says, because my boyfriend goes on these absolutely and completely irrelevant and random bouts of monologues when he is in the land between awake and slumbering. Before you get excited, I may not actually get to do this at all. Dating a public figure has its many repercussions, and I will leave it at that.
-Quotes of the day. Obviously not everyday, but something close to it. I've done this before, when this blog was relatively new. Here are some examples: waiting, beauty, change, death, and the mind. I want to do a lot more of those, with quotes and then my own interpretation or if it is a strong enough quote for whatever my mood may be, nothing more.
-Songs of the day. This will most likely not be as often as I would like because my mood when it comes to music is also just as obsessive and repetitive and doesn't change for some longer periods of time. In other words, I will listen to the same song(s) for several weeks straight. [Yes, I will listen to other songs with it, but won't hold as much dominance or importance as the other].
-Objects like bones. I want to take photographs of random everyday objects that may resemble a specific bone to me. I will use the good ol' Microsoft Paint and label parts that resemble the actual parts of the bone and also have a photograph of the bone. I will maybe add in a story of how I went about seeing this object and the thought process involved. Obviously, if I came up with this, my mind wanders like the speed of light.
Those are all that I can really think of now. Originally, I wanted to start those as individual posts here at Alchemy, and if I got enough attention to them, I would make separate entire blogs for them and maybe get famous and rich off of blogging. The main thing that prevents a lot of that happening is because Alchemy is actually a really personal blog and not one that I want everyone [especially everyone that I actually know] to read it. Thus, I don't make any means to bring any more attention to it. Making other blogs would be most appropriate. I can't really say why I haven't done it yet, laziness, something else, and despite this moment, I haven't really thoroughly thought/planned out the concept of what these blogs could be. I'm getting there. Give me some feed back will ya.

I have the same dilemma, so I'm not in a position to give feedback! D: I really wanted to start another blog with just photos I've taken, but haven't gotten the gumption to get it running. Good luck! I'm sure whatever you do, it will be lovely and interesting :D
