Conundrum

I have a conundrum.


Conundrum.


I love that word. I'm not sure there's an equivalent in Danish. Google Translate defines it as gåde though anyone I've ever contacted with an email translated by Google might beg to differ... When I reverse translate the word, it comes back as mystery. A mysterious conundrum, the translation of conundrum. 


But I digress. Back to my actual "confusing or difficult problem or question."


I've really been itching to blog lately. Life has taken some spectacularly amazing, horribly gut-wrenching, completely unpredictable turns over past year and I find myself no longer in Copenhagen, or even in Denmark for that matter.


So here is my problem. When I began this blog, I obviously did not anticipate the major personal life changes that would take place, causing its name to become, in a mere matter of ten months, obsolete. How, then, can I continue my blog-as-life, while still being relevant? Must I change its name? Start an entirely new blog? This is worse than trying to secretly change a relationship status on Facebook... (you can't, in case you were wondering.) Aaargh...


If a name change is in store, what then? I've been bouncing around these ideas in my head but none seem to have quite the simple impact of my original name...

It's a new year. I'm open to suggestions. Really, on anything. Jobs, life, love, the Universe, where to take this blog.

Stuff I Wish I'd Come Up With Myself

While my own blogging takes a little bit of a backseat to practicing my Danish (I'm starting to sound like a cross between the Swedish Chef and a kid who's lost all her front teeth), check out these other funny expat blogs and perspectives:

Great blog about roadside billboards in Beirut proves signage doesn't have to be useful to be funny.

"Embracing life as a cultural sore thumb."

Witty blog about being an expat in Israel, including funny post on the random appearance

of ponies and stale bread in an abandoned Israeli lot.

"Ask A Korean! No seriously, ask away. The email is on the right"

Perfect for this adoptee's limited knowledge of her own ethnic culture.

For my own purposes, could rename "How to Appear Korean Without Actually Being".

When I get this being-an-expat thing right, this is who I want to be:
