Until Further Notice

This is weird. When you start writing a blog you have to come up with a title, theme, and format FIRST? And then write the posts? That implies that you know what you're going to write about before you get there.

When I write a poem, it's pretty rare that I write a title at the top and then write the poem that fits it below, and still more rare that that title stays through the editing process. What's more likely is that after writing it, I'll come up with something that vaguely summarizes what I've just written or, if I'm still unsure what my poem is about, I will leave it without a title, until i understand a little bit more about what I just did. But then again, I've never been good at titles.

I think about titles the same way I think about names of people. If I say "Don't you agree, Krista?" Krista is going to be like "Yes. What?" She knows that her name refers to her, I know that it does, and it's an easy way to communicate what/who I'm referring to. If her name was "Softy Billows Through the Trees" that might be a little tougher to communicate, and frankly, less fitting.

But then again, in a piece of literature, poetry or blogature, you might want to bring something more to the description of what you are about to read, something overwhelming and profound or subtle and mischievous, like one of those titles that makes you go wha? Until you read the whole book and then look at the title again and go OHOOO. Same goes for episodes of TV shows, and really everything. It seems more fitting to have the title at the END of the episode/book/ post to ensure maximum OHOOO reactions. Maybe I should format this blog to have the title of it at the bottom. That way after every post people can have that satisfying wahOHOOO response.

 Or I could suggest a new title for the blog each time I write a new post, so that the title better encompasses everything that I've written, and place you (my readers?) forever on edge as to when I might change my title for real, and the blog would transform entirely. Though I guess that's what individual post titles for for, to avoid the whole transformation of blog drama. Damnit, more titles.

A title generator would be of use here! *Goes and searches for a blog name generator* Here's some of the names I got:

Orange Barbershop
Nervous Snake
Moving Helium
Severe Cosmic
Shiny Alpha
Quality Snake

I…see. That, "I shall never have to be creative with titles again!" thing fell through a little. "Snake" twice, really?
