Fickle Words You Know How It Is

Popping the Blog Cherry

Ahh, the awkward first post.  You know in You've Got Mail, how Kathleen Kelly says that she likes to start her emails as if she were already in the middle of a conversation.  I would like to start a blog that way, but I feel that you almost have to have an introductory post.  It would feel weird to not have one... but the funny thing is, I've never actually read one unless they were my friends' blogs.  So that makes me feel better.  This post can be pretty crappy and very few people will actually see it.

It's kind of weird to be back in the world of the internet.  I've honestly been working so much that I haven't had time to read much going on in the blogging world since the middle of last year and I read the tweets during the Oscars and realized that I missed being a part of it.  I don't miss it all but it did feel like a community.  I have since realized though that I was becoming a bit obsessive.  I mean, bloggers were becoming my celebrities and blogs were becoming my tabloids.  I was fascinated by all the internet drama and I spent so much time reading about it that I didn't really create or do much in my life that wasn't started or planned by other people.  I stopped blogging because I felt that nothing that I could write would actually be as good oras interesting as what other people wrote.  I read about the things that other people were doing instead of doing things myself. Now, don't get me wrong, I still live vicariously through others sometimes, but I'm also creating a life of my own now.
