And that is why I never blog... That and because, as a general rule of thumb, I think blogs are lame.
I just never really understood the whole idea. I mean, for people who are off in another country, working at a summer camp in the projects, or trying to hop across America on one foot, I understand. Blog your little hearts out. People probably want to hear about your experience.
While I never actually took the time to read many blogs myself, I had a pretty good idea of the subject matter of most of them...
"Exciting news! My new hubby and I finally sprung for the leather couch, it's grey and..."
"Sooooo... today was kinda boring. I pretty much did homework and putzed around I guess..."
"I think I want to lose 10 pounds. I know, I know, I knowwww. You're thinking "What? She is soooo skinny!" But seriously guys, I don't think I am! So that's it. I'll just eat uber healthy all the time. I'll keep you posted on what I eat day by day from now until I reach my goal."
I hope I'm not offending anyone...
So why did I decide to take a second wack at blogging (notice, I tried once last year)? Well I glanced at my friend Katie May's blog and I thought hey.. thats kinda cute. Then I started stalking all of the blogs that were on the side thingy of her blog... And they also were really creative and... as much as I hate to admit... I kind of enjoyed reading them. I'm not as creative as these other bloggers, and I'll prolly never write anything as enjoyable... but...
Feeble as my first attempt was... I'm going to try again. But I'll need lots of encouragement, because I don't want to just write to myself. That is what journals are for.
Imma sleep now.

Tess! I'm so excited. Actually, at first when I read your comment on my blog, I had no idea who you were. I had to read your profile and by process of elimination figure it out. Anyway, I'm glad you've decided to take the leap into blogging world-- I love your thoughts. I was with your sister last night and told her "Tess just got a blog," and she said, "Yeah, she's a really good writer." I agree! I love your thoughts. Keep it up.
comment! i totally forgot to the other day! so yeah.
i've already told you this but, i love what you did to your blog much much more then what i did!
and i agree with taryn & trish...your a wonderfully skilled & talented writer.
if you wrote a book...i would buy it.
Oh Tess, you make me laugh!! At first I was thinking, "So she started a blog to tell us all how lame blogging is." Hmmm... sounded a little contradictory to me. I know what you mean though, and some blogs you just want to roll your eyes and think, "I wasted 30 seconds of my life reading that??" but most are fun. And I am amazed how much you can learn about people on them. Well, happy blogging! Keep writing-even if no one comments, they are still reading it!!
yay, Tess! Don't stop writing! :)
hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
I love the couch line.
Don't foget the typical "I am clearly more intelligent and stuck up than anyone else who ever dares to set eyes on my completely self righteous blog will be ~ obscure latin quote" blogs.
Thems are my favs.
haha "I know, I know, I knowwww"
this is the first of fourish posts or so that i read, and am well pleased.
the reason i know about your blog may or may not have to do with the fact that i spent the last week with your sister, and she may or may not think kinda highly of you and your writing skilz.
the oakes is amazing; it says you should come next summer
Skewer blogging, babe, do it!
