Hi I'm Bubs, welcome to my home on the web!

Thanks for stopping by! You have stumbled upon the personal website of Sidney Collins (aka Bubs). I'm a 27-year old student at the University of Alabama studying Computer Science and Mathematics. When I'm not busy programming you'll probably find me writing, drawing, reading, shopping, eating, or playing Monopoly.

Yet Another Blog Deterrent

Wow, my last post was 5 months ago O_o My poor abandoned blog! I’m currently engaged in a hot and steamy love affair with Twitter, Facebook, and now Tumblr, but my heart still belongs to BubblesSOC. There are big things in store for the future of BubblesSOC, but redesigns (or complete reconstructions in this case) are long and painful processes, especially when I won’t settle for anything less than perfection for my beloved website ♥

The aforementioned blog deterrent is, you guessed it, my Tumblr. I use it to share (i.e. spam) cute nonsense that makes me happy but isn’t appropriate for a blog entry. With Tumblr I feel as though I’m reliving my high school days on Geocities hotlinking animated gifs of Sailor Moon transformations XD I blame my newfound Dragon*Con friends for this new obsession (I’m looking at you, Elfgrove!)

Speaking of Dragon*Con, I haven’t forgotten about my 2010 summary. I’m waiting on the rest of my photos from my first cosplay photoshoot. Here’s a teaser:

I also still plan to publish my wedding details. For those of you unaware, I married my high school sweetheart last Halloween :beat: I realize that almost a year has passed, but I didn’t receive our photos until April and I think the details will make an appropriate first anniversary post.

Now that wasn’t so hard, was it Bubs? :sweatdrop: I’m so OCD when it comes to blogging, which explains why I have 4 unpublished posts that I penned between January and May. Although I labelled my Tumblr as a deterrent, it has obviously brought me back to the blogosphere. I can’t make any promises but my goal is to update at least twice a month. What sort of things would you enjoy reading about on BubblesSOC? I’d love to get your input :)

P.S. ~ If you have a Tumblr let me know so that I can follow you ♥

    BUBS! Hello and welcome.

    Yay for Tumblr getting you back onto the web! I like seeing what you post there – the stuff you find is so cute! Tumblr is so great for finding neat images like that.

    I can’t wait for your anniversary post and I’m so excited to have finally seen your wedding photos! I love the decorations.

      Forgot to say what I would like to see: basically, just what’s going on with you! The wedding, your first year of marriage, what you are doing for work, etc.

    Don’t feel bad. My blog is neglected too. I keep trying to make myself update it, but I never know where to start so once I hit the editor box I just sit there and stare like.. umm lol

    Facebook and day to day life are my current detterants. I have SOOO much I could talk about but *shrugs* I’m rarely online long enough to post about it. I’m seriously thinking about just blogging thought snippits with explanations. I figure short posts are better than no posts… but I could be mistaken on that one *ponders*

    and I vote for randomness on bubblessoc. I’d love to see some random, off the wall posts from you. Dunno why but I’m a HUGE fan of teh randomness! :P

    Welcome back :) I’d like to see anything you write to be honest. How you’ve handled the first year of marriage, stories about your fur-babies, stories about growing up, things like that. I’ve been on a personal blog kick lately, so anything about you that you want to share, I’d read.

    Welcome back! :D I’m a huge visuals person, so give me some photos or pictures, and I’ll probably love it.
    I really enjoyed looking at your wedding pictures (I’m not being creepy, promise!), you made such a beautiful bride :3

    Don’t feel bad about not updating. I hardly update my blog unless there is something I really like talking about. I really enjoyed looking at your wedding photos. You made such a pretty bride. Anyways, glad to see that you still love blogging. I have tumblr, but I don’t use it that much. My username there is shattere.

    Anyways, look forward to your next post.

    I’m so glad your back! I’ve missed reading your blogs and seeing new updates! Your website has been inspiring me for many years! :) I know how you feel though. Some days you just don’t know what to blog about and others you are just too busy. Hope to see more from you soon!! ♥ Jen

    Welcome back Bubs! Don’t feel bad about the blogging hiatus. My last post has also been months ago. But because of Tumblr I finally feel like getting into the right blogging mojo. It’s just that the longer it takes, the harder it seems. And I agree with Melissa small (Tumblr-like) posts are also okay (^_^)b

    Hey, welcome back! Dont fgeel bad though, Ive had my site name for a year and have had the same ‘coming soon’ page on it since I started.
    Tumblr, blogspot and Twitter steal all of my time!
    Looking forward to the wedding pictures, I love wedding flicks, considering I have no intention of doing it myself, I still love other peoples ideas.

    I haven been visiting your visit for a very long time and I did think that you left the scene but I saw you commenting on someone’s post and I was like “eh, I recognise your URL”. I’m glad you’re back because I love what you have done to the site.

    Hope to see great updates from you! Best of luck.

    I’m not even bothering anymore, lol. I just decided to post whatever comes to mind.

    Meanwhile, I love the things you’re posing on your tumblr (oh and twitter)!
