So, I've never done anything like this before, and as such I expect to not do what it is you are supposed to do on a blog. Mainly, I assume plenty of people will be bored to tears.. probably from my incessant ranting (expect much of it) and lots of me digressing off on random topics that seem to have nothing to do with the topic at hand. This is such, when you are exploring my mind. It is not a very organized place. >.<
Well, I honestly don't know what to say. So I guess I'll start with why I wanted to start a blog.
I've always been told ever since I was little that it is a good thing to have a journal, and I've tried it numerous times. I agree, having a journal can be a good way to get your thoughts down, plus its really funny to read later on in life. For example, when I was in high school I would get really bored on the bus ride home, which usually lasted anywhere from 30 min to an hour depending on the driver, the traffic, and the actual bus (the right after school bus, the bus for the kids who took an extra class, or the bus for the kids who do sports and clubs and what not after school) that I took home. So I started a little bus journal. Which seemed to be the coolest thing in the world when your 16 years old, because of course all those high school dramas are the beginning and the end of the world when your 16. I was the epitome of awesome, and some day the things I wrote would be turned into a best selling novel (along the lines of Go Ask Alice minus all the drugs and suicide) and I would be famous for my high school exploits. Of course nothing like that ever happened, the only thing that happened was I read it a few months ago and spent a few hours laughing so hard that it seemed my side would split in two. Mainly at my high school crushing... here's an example (I switched out the persons name with Alan Tudyk cause who wouldn't crush on him?)
"Alan... he is so fine! And tall and sweet, and funny! I do hope we get together sometime! I <3 Alan!! Mrs. Sarah Tudyk. I <3 him sooo much... " and it goes on like that... lol. that was on May 17th, 2004... just so ya know.
See what I mean about going off on random tangents? haha.. well in any case back to the topic.
So blogs are cool cause they are like journals, which you can read later and laugh OR it could get made into a best selling novel or even a MAJOR MOTION PICTURE! Trust me, it happens! Like Julie and Julia, or was it Julia and Julie.. Well whatever the case, it can happen! And if it does I want to state right now that I want to be played by Kiera Knightley, but first someone needs to get that girl SOME BOOBS, seriously, they are tiny.. I think they photoshop them in sometimes.. >.<
and back on topic again...
So, I guess the real reason I want to start officially writing things down is because 1. I'm bored. ALL THE TIME 2. I'm kind of sort of going through a bit of a identity crisis and I think that writing it out can help me come to some sort of conclusion as to who I am.. Plus I'll get advice from the numerous readers I'm sure I'm going to get.. *snort* yeah... right.. lol.
And I like to rant. So now I have somewhere to do it.
AND it will pretty much be my journal so it will help me to keep track of my life and know when things happened and stuff like that. I decided to do the blog because its online and not saved on my computer so that a certain husband of mine can't just read it, although I guess he could come here, I just don't think he ever will. lol. His computer time is pretty much gaming time, not reading blog time.
Plus typing is much easier on me than writing with a pen and paper. Although you can get across more emotion with actual script I still think the ability to save it for later and print it out, etc, outways that one benefit of handwriting.
So, if you do decide to read this, just be prepared for lots of random crap and me talking about the boring day to day minutiae that will only interest me, becuase in the end, I'm not writing this for you, I'm writing this for me. And I guess that's what I've been trying to say this whole time!

PS. maybe constant blogging will eventually improve my lacking writing skills.. but I doubt it.
I don't think you're lacking in writing skills, I think you do just fine. :-)
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about boring me, my own life is so boring I fall asleep just thinking about it. Lol. And I enjoy random, your side-trackings are very entertaining. Can't wait to read more.
LOVE the background by the way, now I really am going to have to redesign mine. Lol.
@M.L. McIntyre hehe, thanks for the encouraging words. Now I just have to remember to do it.. If I don't promise you will remind me! And your life can't be any more boring than mine, maybe that will be the topic of my next blog post..
