S%@t! Now what?

I have performance anxiety. I just posted my new little bitty blog online for the world-I mean, all 442 Facebook friends-to see and now I am stricken. What to write about? What's too much? What's not enough? Dammit, I knew I should have just gotten a tattoo. That would have entertained me for a while. But a blog? Now I have to keep thinking of shit to say. (Note to readers - all three of you: I curse. Sometimes I curse a lot. Yes, I agree that sometimes cursing is immature and perhaps a sign of poor vocabulary... but it's my blog (na ne na ne boo boo) and so I'll probably wind up using curse words intermixed with polysyllabic words, primarily for effect. Just call it a writing technique. Plus, it's not like I curse at work. Or in church.)


Anyway, I digress.


So, back to my anxiety. Shocking. I decided to start writing a blog to get out the crazy thoughts running through my anxiety-riddled brain and what happens? I get anxiety about writing the blog. Are you starting to sense the issue here? I dream up things to be anxious about. Apparently I did this even as a kid. At least I'm consistent.


Since there aren't nearly enough fascinating events in my daily life to actually accumulate more than like, um, six interesting posts, I think I'll need to pepper my daily exploits with other tidbits. For instance, any crafty girl projects I start up (Next on the crafting agenda - ceramic coasters decoupaged with scrapbook paper. I'll post a tutorial, doncha worry. These babies are cheap AND adorable!) And, I have had more than my fair share of bad relationships/bad dates, so as those no doubt continue to accumulate (if I ever actually leave the basement), I can share them. And of course, I am going to use this as a motivational tool to help me lose the weight I gained while living in The Healthiest State in the Country (See? Even my weight gain is ironic.) So, I'll chronicle that too. (Scintillating, I know.)


Okay, I'm feeling better about this. I think I can do - Oh - awesome - Intervention is on. Love me some Intervention... although it just makes me want a drink. I wish I had some wine... is it really fair that wine has calories??


I think my blog has ADHD.

  1. Nice, Michelle! I'm enjoying so far. As a former blogger that wrote everyday I know the anxiety that comes with making this particular commitment. It only gets worse. :)
