This is more for me than for you.
After hilariously abusing the word limit on formspring.me, I realized that I needed somewhere to rant, criticize, and pontificate. And that I should probably start thinking of my own shit instead of just responding to prompts.
Accordingly, I've undergone the pretentious ritual of filling out my likes and favorites, selecting a name, and choosing a pre-designed layout. To my chagrin, my mouse hovered over "Awesome Inc." for a good three seconds before coming to rest on the more muted, yet elegant and sophisticated "Watermark."
I should probably establish some ground rules.
1. I will not post any personally identifying information.
2. I will not edit accounts to make myself or others appear better (or worse) than what their words and actions demonstrate. Actually, scratch that - I'll probably edit immensely.
3. To protect my fledgeling entries from the criticism of a more developed me, I will not delete any posts (barring objectionable content and egregious formatting or grammatical errors).
I anticipate infrequent entries, an abundance of self hate, mildly offensive language, and occasionally amusing perspectives. And a thoroughly meager following.
But that might also be due to the fact that I intend to tell absolutely no one about this embarrassing little indulgence. That would be narcissism.
Much better to shout my opinions into the void and hope that no one's listening.
As I said, this is more for me than for you.
Echo?
how.... very you. one day all of this should get bound up in a book that you can donate to future therapists, or your grandchildren i suppose. enjoy your ranting, im glad youve found a way to get it out, and on a selfish level, i am so greatful to you for having given me another distraction from hw. i a eternally in your debt.
ReplyDeletelove you
found ya!
ReplyDelete1.) love the name.
2.) like the layout, although those darn fish are freaking distracting.
3.) it's not pretentious. who cares :)
4.) GOOD on the no identifying info bit. last names, places, you know the deal.
5.) you probably won't even HAVE to edit. such is the glory of a family like ours, let alone your friends.
6.) Definitely don't delete! the archives are such fun to go back to.
love you LOTS. xoxo
Thanks guys.
ReplyDeleteRoxy - I have absolutely no intention of ever allowing this to leave the internet, where I can edit retroactively to my heart's content.
MFB - I think the layout will be one of those things I change every few months. And you're right about the editing - too bad I wasn't blogging when I visited, because Bubba gave me loads of material. Maybe I'll still write about it.
