Things That Keep Me From Blogging
Amanda: Yeah, since I don't get vacation time, Christmas is just one more day I have to spend with my family. And I don't get paid.
Me: Yeah, that totally sucks. I remember those days. I used to get money from my relatives though for Christmas and that would tide me over until the next paycheck. I don't get money from them anymore.
Amanda: Oh, they don't send you money anymore cause you mentioned them on your blog?
Me: Ha! No, not those relatives. They never even gave me money in the first place. Gah! Even thinking of them seriously gets my rage going. I can't believe I've resisted blogging about them telling me about how to live my life and how the internet is evil. Thank you, Google, for helping them find my site.
Amanda: Live-in rageaholic.
Me: Sorry. No, the other relatives. The ones who I don't speak to anymore because they told me that I was crazy. And that everything I thought, felt, or did was crazy. And that I should change. And be different. Oh, and change the past too. They used to give me money.
Amanda: Merry Christmas.

Heather Anne: I don't know what to blog about.
Me: Yeah, me either. Do you have any really bad dates from the past that you could write about?
Heather Anne: Yes, but what if those guys read my blog?
Me: Yeah, me too.
Heather Anne: Yeah, we were smart to use our full names as our URLs.
Me: Totally brilliant, us.
Heather Anne: High five for genius!
Me: SCORE!

Bad Date From the Past: Hey, Abigail, I recently found your blog. I love reading all about your life. Glad to hear you're doing well. Tell me intimate details about your life.
Me: Oh, hey. How are you?
Bad Date: I'm great. So, I really love your blog. Wanna hang out?
Me: Sure, wanna ruin my life shortly thereafter?
Bad Date: SCORE!

Jennie: Haha! Also, I get mad that I can't blog about bad dates, too.

At work yesterday:
Coworker 1: So I hear you and XYZ are dating now.
Me: no we're not. I just happened to see him at Starbucks
Coworker 2: Well that's not what I heard.
Coworker 3: So are you going to blog about it?
and scene.

"Christmas is just one more day I have to spend with my family."
Ummm, I think you might want to change just that sentence....
"Christmas is just another day I spend with my family."
YOU ARE EXPOSING and EXTORTING.

Jennie, we should have a bad-date blog ring where we publish each other's bad date posts on our blogs.
B, See above comment. Blog. Ring.
Amanda, I'll split the profits. Deal?

I'm game. Do we get to have fake names?
Posted by: Jennie | December 23, 2006 7:12 AM
Jennie, yes. I would like to be Clifford Alvarez.
