...just some humble observations about the world around us, and my place in it...

Blog

Webiversary

Posted by suzanna on January 29, 2010 at 10:11 PM

I've just realized something. The first blog I posted on this website was on January 20th 2009. Do you know what this means? This website has been up for an entire year! This is so exciting! What's not exciting is the amount of blogs that I've posted over an entire YEAR. 12. That's one for each month, and not even that because I think 3 of them are from this January alone.

 

 We've been over this like a billion times, I need to be more active, more prolific when it comes to posting blog entries, or heck, just about anything really. I haven't even posted all of the stories I wanted to, and those are written already!

 

 Blogging is hard work. And considering the fact that I made this website to avoid doing work, blogging is becoming increasingly unattractive. The thinking, the typing, it's almost too much to deal with! And the pressure? Well, not from you guys of course, it's mainly the pressure that I put on myself. If I don't post a blog in a long time, I start to feel guilty. Especially if the only active thing I'm doing at the moment is stuffing my face with Twinkies and watching a Psych marathon. Which is quite often, I might add. But these pressures I put on myself are ridiculous aren't they? I mean does anyone even take the time to read these (I'm being strongly tempted to call them brain poopies, but I'll resist :D) nonsensical streams of my concious?

 

I know it's all in my head, but I thought that I just had to voice some of these concerns. I can't be witty and comedic all of the time you know! It's a concious effort. Am I even funny? I really don't know. And when I try to be funny, is that stuff actually funny, or is it the stuff that I didn't plan on getting a laugh with? Interesting questions.

 Have you ever tried to fool 20 questions? It's so hard. Who sat there and programmed the word "bologna" into this game?  Or "diaper" for that matter? 


Anyways, so do you other writers out there try to be funny? Like when you write something, do you think, "oh, that'll definitely get a laugh" or does it just come out on the paper/computer screen automatically?


My brain feels foggy and I don't know what I'm talking about anymore, but what I do know is that it's been another self-depreciating friday, woo. Worst of all, I have classes tomorrow. For a second today I thought, "all right! It's Friday!", and then it dawned on me. The glory of Statistics awaits me at 9am Saturday morning.


So here's to another year of denial ,procrastination, and my personal favorite, chocolate covered pretzels.

Happy Webiversary!

Yeah, and you suck on the whole blog thing. Not you, but you not blogging a lot. You are funny! And awesome! And 9 blog entries per year-not exactly showing off your awesomeness...

As for writing funny stuff... for me it's a mix. Probably most of the stuff is unintentional funny, and then the other part is me thinking of something and going, "Ha! That'll make 'em laugh/pee their pants!"

You're an awesome person and so are chocolate pretzels. Especially covered in white chocolate. So just cover yourself in white chocolate and you'll be darn near perfect! XD

hey! waiting for what? jk I know what you mean, it is nice to know that I have a "regular"; at least one person who will read my stuff. Or am I jumping too far with that assumption?

Aw, you were going back and re-reading old bloggies of mine? How sweet! There are an incredibly alarming amount of them, aren't there? :D

One point reminds me of my world history teacher. When he tries to be funny he sucks but when he says random things and goes off on tangeants about communism and cake made out of soda it's freakin hilarious.

Rather than striving to post more entries, consider this: if a person stumbles upon your site and reads several hours of your median work (that is, whatever quality is very easy for you to produce), they may not be much impressed, but if they find just twenty minutes of your highest quality, they will remember it, return to it, and pass it on to their friends. You shouldn't worry about not posting often; strive for quality, and if you have extra time, edit what you have already done to make it better. Whatever you can produce on a whim, you can do much better with more time, and one or two really good entries will show your qualities better than a plethora of common ones.
