Sondry Serendipity

Welcome to my new blog.

I used to have a xanga blog, but since its complication, facebook, and my laziness in updating it, I stopped using it for a long time. If you like to visit, it's www.xanga.com/archyami

Note that you need a xanga account to read it. Time and again I found my old blog posts quite interesting, not to mention some... rather embarassing ones.

"Sondry Serendipity"

"Sondry" marks when I set this up, and what this blog has. I'm studying the General Prologue to the Canterbury Tales, "sondry" is a middle English word in it meaning "various." And well... it sounds cool.

I thought it would be nice to have an alliteration as my title, so I asked a friend who I thought would give me an idea. She gave me the word "serendipity," which means finding something fortunate when I wanted to find something entirely different. Since many of my previous blog posts or notes are quite random and they were never planned to be so, "Sondry Serendipity" would be quite fitting as the name for the blog.

I picked the colour because it feels like the name.

And so start my real hobby!

trivia: Italian for "serendipity" is, you guessed it, "serendipita'"
