Akan Datang
Hi again, Webs.
What can I say? When I'm stressed, I get frustrated. When I get frustrated, I feel the need to vent my frustration out on something. Since I'm not the violent sort of person, I turn to blogging. Sounds weird, but then again, some people vent their frustrations by eating lots of snacks. Not exactly the healthiest thing on earth to be doing.
In the past, I used to vent out my feelings in the form of poetry. I completed most of the first three books of The Anthology of Seasons within my Sec 4 year. That tells you the amount of teenage angst I had at that time. Lately, though, I've been touching the Anthology a lot less. Heck, I haven't been writing any poetry at all for the past few weeks. Not that I want to make excuses, by it really isn't easy to have a lot of inspiration when my mind's filled with Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics concepts.
I guess The Web of Fudge itself plays a part too in the current dearth of poetry in The Anthology of Seasons. Where in the past I could express my emotions purely in verse I now have the option to do so in prose. And as much as I hate to admit it, it's easier to be writing in prose than in verse. The Web of Fudge was originally a complement to The Anthology of Seasons, but has since overtaken it. I seem to be losing my poetic edge, and I'm not sure whether that's really a good thing. I'll try to make the effort to get back to poetry once the exams are over, I promise.
Sheesh... what's happening, Spidey? Isn't The Anthology of Seasons supposed to be your life story... your legacy to your heirs when you're finally gone?
My apologies to Dead Poet, Verbosity, Adawehi, Maroux and all other fellow poets. I'll do my best to get back to poetry.

I've also realised that I was perhaps being a little too impulsive in wanting to change the template for the Web of Fudge. I originally thought that it was be nice to give it a slicker look. I've received feedback, though, that white words against a black background have a tendency to give the reader a spinning headache. I've tried to read one of my longer socio-political essays in the new template, and I agree. This new template was built for pimply-faced teens who usually don't write in continuous prose in their blog entries. I've always wanted The Web of Fudge to have a mature, simple yet stylish feel to it, as as much as the original template was boring, it exemplified these qualities most losely.
After the exams I'll return the template to its original layout. I wish I could do it now, but I hardly have the time to spare. HTML idiots like myself can't exactly do major webpage makeovers in a matter of minutes. The Web of Fudge shall be restored to its former glory, with perhaps a few more bells and whistles thrown in.
*TV announcer's voice*
Akan datang - The all-new, totally revamped Web of Fudge! Also, the amazing rebirth of The Anthology of Seasons! Will there be great entries? Will there be good poetry? Stay tuned to find out!
It's the show you've all been waiting for! Don't miss it!
Sigh.... I think the exam stress is really getting to me.
