Christmas Day Updates

Alrighty, so this post really doesn't have a purpose other than to showcase this awesome The Hunger Games movie countdown ticker thing! This post is on FIRE! Seriously, turn on your sound! It's Internet magic...




Isn't this fantastic?! I'm so excited about the movie! I even have movie posters that my friend Cassie gave me hanging on my wall. They're the "May the odds be ever in your favor," burning mockingjay pin ones! So...just like that countdown thingy up there. :)

Oh wait! I do have something I can share with y'all. I've been working on the name and stuff for my contest (that I'm hoping to have within the next week) and here is the button I've made for it!

Well, what do y'all think?

I've also been a busy little GoogleDoc form-maker today and I've created the contest form for y'all to fill out. *smug look* Yep. This has been, quite possibly, the most productive I've ever been on Christmas Day. And that's counting all of the past Christmases when I didn't have the inclination to sleep late. That was back when the Energizer bunny drew inspiration from me.

If only I'd known back then what I know now: sleep is very good.

Until next time...

I'm Not Myself, But Don't Worry

I've made a change, folks. I hope it's for the better, but sometimes my whims don't have the same effect I had planned them to have. What did I do?

I am now going by the name Bailey @OverYonderLit. So that's how it will look from now on whenever I leave a comment on here or on something else, somewhere else, and when I post. Hopefully.This way I will be able to separate my school life, blog life, and work life. It also means I will have four email accounts to keep track of, but I'm trying to figure out a way to make that even easier. It's a WIP.

Anyway, I did this because I was tired of people somehow finding my old blog from EDM310 and leaving comments on it. This blog was getting jealous, so I made a NEW Google and Blogger profile to keep this from happening.

At least, that's the plan. Now whenever people click on my name to stalk me and my blogs, Over Yonder... will be the only one to show up! Haha! Take that phantom stalkers! No more commenting on my projects from last semester or watching YouTube videos of me talking about my teaching pedagogy. Just me and you and whatever is on my mind right here, right now, on this blog. Welcome to the new Over Yonder...

However, this entire process has taken much longer than I thought it would. Why?

Well, it's not easy transferring blog follows to an ENTIRELY NEW Blogger profile. Until today, I had no idea how many blogs I was following. It took me an hour to copy and paste all of the URLs. An hour. You people that I follow should be so honored, because I didn't give up once. Not even when I reached the N's and despaired of ever finishing the process. No. I kept going all the way to the W's. And boy, there are a lot of W's.

Now that that is all done, I've come to announce that I'm not myself anymore, but I'm still me. If that makes sense. So don't worry about me, or the blog, or your blogs, or my comments, or your comments, or my responses to your comments, because it's really just me using a different name. I think.
