This morning I woke up very early and went with my housemates to the dawn service at the Shrine of Remembrance. There were about 35,000 people there and all of them were quiet.

I think war is a terrible, horrible thing that does terrible, horrible things to people.

That's all the reason I need to remember it.

1. Sign up for things. Put up some kind of placeholder page. Maybe install WordPress or something.
2. Procrastinate by not doing anything else with it, preferably for several months.
3. Procrastinate by tinkering with themes and layouts. Consider learning PHP because everything that everyone else has ever made is terrible. Realise that learning requires effort; settle for whatever abomination you have mangled the layout into so far.
4. Procrastinate by compiling an exhaustive "Links" or "Blogroll" list. Be sure to leave out several essentials so that people have something to get upset about.
5. Procrastinate by reading the entire internet two or three times.
6. Think about what this "blog" should be "about". This stage of procrastination can be extended indefinitely.
7. Settle on a well-defined yet broad topic, for instance: "Things that I think are awesome and/or interesting and/or to do with me and stuff that I have done".
8. Procrastinate by thinking about all the abandoned projects that can now be resurrected and then abandoned all over again in this brand-new, exciting space.
9. Think about writing something to post. Realise that paragraphs are kind of long.
10. Write a numbered list. Post it.
