Confession and Summer SamaZama

May 28, 2006 on 11:10 am | In *Sama Zama Site |

This isn’t a particular interesting post, I just wanted to let people know what has been up with Saria. Well, while I don’t like revealing much of my personal life, especially my age… I need it in order to excuse myself for not blogging quite avidly towards the end of the school year.

So let’s just come out with it. I am a little girl. Eighteen, about to graduate from high school. Graduate from high school. Graduate from high school. An all-girls, Catholic seifuku school. This Thursday. A little busy, am I. There’s college stuff to attend to (I will be a Berkeley Cal Bear!), Senior stuff to attend to (Disneyland Grad Nite!), and did I mention graduation?

The good news? Blogging should occur more regularly by the end of June 15th.

The bad news? I will be gone from late June to mid-August on a trip to Suzhou, China. I will be a teacher assistant at a bilingual academy’s summer English program, meaning teach Chinese kids how to speak the English. A six week-long hiatus will occur during this time, though I do plan on creating a blog specifically for my daily accounts in China. But it still means no anime. :(

More good news? I only plan to have a half-life at Cal, so there should be a lot of blogging once the year starts.

Some more bad news (?), episode-crunching has gotten real stressful for me as it requires actual deadlines, so I plan to focus more on opinion/discussion pieces in the future, as well as perhaps rapid-updates per episode (less screenshots, condensed posts). The purpose and what I want for this blog is still in limbo, so anyone with suggestions, complaints, or love…I’m all ears. Or eyes. Or something.

I’m also looking for an adequate host/domain setup for my own anime and personal blogs. I am poor and I want to continue sticking with Wordpress. If anyone knows of any good hosts or packages (especially those of you who already host your own blog), please let me know here or at SariatheCat [at] gmail [dot] com. Thanks!

And for anyone and everyone who ever reads my blog, I want to thank you so much for being patient with my sluggish updating and supporting me! I hope you enjoy what you read here at Sama Zama and continue to visit. （*＾＾）＾*） ☆Chu！！

I’ll recommend my own webhost, www.zipa.com, who hosts famous websites such as somethingawful.com and penthouse.com and also is famous for surviving Hurricane Katrina.

While its more expensive than normal (unless you buy the $3/m plan), in return you get no bs customer service and seriously like no downtime. In the past month there was some trouble but the only website affected was their own, leave to people who can survive a hurricane to know how to run a server. They also have an actual telephone number you can call for live human help.

While some people might recommend other stuff that’s like 3 or 4 or 5 dollars a month, you have to remember you get what you pay for.

Ah and congrats on your graduation, of course!

Gratz on going to Cal. Though, I’m a sworn enemy of them.

Berkeley? Wow. Congratulations!

As for web hosting, I’ll suggest Dreamhost. I’ve been a satisfied customer for six years now, and for $10/month, I get more bandwidth and space than I could ever dream of using.

Congratulations on getting into Berkeley!

Webhosting.. JaguarPC is very good. I’ve been with them for 3 years and nothing’s gone wrong.

Congrats on surviving High School, and a Disneyland Grad Night sounds like a lot of fun.

I’m looking forward to seeing more of your posts :D

Wat you KID! Wait I don’t get it. In your About section you say you attend UC Berkeley. I always thought that was a University. And you said you were majoring in East Asian Studies?

And now you are out of high school?

Does that mean you have already started your “team” blogging method that you suggested back on blogsuki? The mini Saria and the mega Saria?

Congrats, and have a great trip! I’ve had reasonably good service from Surpass, and their prices are decent. Are you not sticking with AnimeBlogger?

Nowadays - I’ve heard - they don’t eat cats in China anymore. They’ve switched to nutrient Americans. So I certainly understand the joke behind the chosen picture.

Woo~. Congrats on graduating, my best friend just graduated too． I wont be graduating till next year. How funny, Berkely is where I want to go. I love California… Hopefully I’ll get accepted so I can leave Florida!

China, eh? Sounds like a blast. Maybe I’ll have to go too! That should be a great opportunity. It sounds like you lead a very interesting life. Mine can get kind of monotonous at times, but I have a friend or two who add some meaning, you know? I love your blog, you’re writing style brings a smile to my face, and I’m not just being cheesy. I wish you the best in finding hosting, do let me know what the address to the site will be, I would love to read it.

Have a great time at Cal, I’m sure you’ll shine like the star you are.
Hah, that sounds so lame, but I mean it.

Woah creepy I am in the same boat as you, [going to Cal next year, not going to China :P] Its very exciting, are you aware of Cal Animage? hmm I think I will join if they aren’t to scarily nerdy [:P again.]I am just depressed that the fact that they are now garenteeing two years of housing means that most freshmen [including me] get stuck in triples, oh well, I didn’t intend to spend that much time in my dorm room anyway. [Engeneering means studying constantly right..?]
