URL Change?

Good god, I need to change the name of this blog. "XTREME chibi Face!!" hearkens back to my awkward anime-crazed years. (he says, as if his current life isn't at all awkward.) Not that anime is a bad thing or that I'm not still into it- far from it! It's just that I don't want someone's first impression of this place (and, by extension, me) to be "hyperactive 14-year old weeaboo."
So yeah. Name change needed.
But what should I call this place instead? Mr. Munroe has a guideline.


This advice has served me well with my tumblr, ScreamingGnomeGenocide.tumblr.com (which, by the way, you should check out if only to witness my html/css skills, something not shown on this blog). However, I think that I should stick to album names with blogspot. Oxymorons also tend to be easy to remember.

Tales from Yo Mamma's Basement
Robot-Dragon Love Affair
League of Anti-Affiliates
Eulogy for a Cyborg Queen
Alan Leads the Machines
Gears Squish My Brain
Presume the Worse
Nothing Good Can Come of This
Gentle Dreadnought
The Cynical Optimist

...At a certain point they become too cheesy. I'll keep trying, though.

Blogging my way around writer's block

I stopped posting on here a while ago because I was afraid of offending people with my odd worldview.
Granted, sometimes I was actually being ignorant or assholish and it was wonderful that people pointed this out to me and prompted me to learn more about the world. That's great, but I became extremely hesitant to post about anything at all.
I've recently re-grown the courage to express my viewpoints and stick to my own moral values- only this time I think I have a better grasp of how to listen to people and actually judge if something will come across as offensive before I post it.
I think it's time I started writing again. That Star-Trek novel/fanfic isn't going so well and I feel like I need a place to exercise my fingers- so you can soon look forward to many rambly posts about the future of pie. You're welcome.
