October 10th, 2010 in books, games we play, H.A.D gets his own tag- that's love, i hate it when i blog about blogging, i know- we all LOVE him, i might be addicted to tags, I sound drunk but I assure you I am not, i think my sweetness gave you a cavity, i'm like barbra walters, if you're shallow and you know it clap your hands!, it's almost like a meme, lists, pirates, the less i worry the happier i am, the one that nobody reads because of the title, wasting time, when I go all Dr. Seuss on you You know what I hate? When you take a hiatus from something (like, oh I don’t know, BLOGGING) and are thinking of starting again but are nervous (because what if you have nothing interesting to say?!), and people are all *up in your grill saying ‘don’t worry about it! it’s just like riding a bike! it will all come back to you’. Because really, when does that ever happen? When’s the last time you quit something and started up again and it was effortless? And am I the only one who ever finds riding a bike challenging?

I feel it too. This little blog of mine has been rocking the title LAME for a while now. I have to search my archives with a miners hat to find a post that I’ve written that I’ve actually felt proud to have published. But, it is what it is and I refuse to feel bad about this little writers slump that is slowly choking the life out of me.
I’m kidding. Kind of.
The thing is, life is happening. Just nothing that warrants full explanations, detailed elaborations or 500 words. Here are the top …READ MORE

I may have even talked about it a few times, might have even casually shared a few views on what I thought. But, I need a day without discussing the topic that shall not be named. Because if I talk about it today, there’s a chance I may turn into someone as crazy as he who shall not be named.
1. I’m getting tired of the lady at Starbucks verbally abusing me. Okay, maybe that’s a stretch- she’s not like, calling me …READ MORE

I guarantee your traffic numbers will explode- mine did.
The funny thing (and by ‘funny’, I mean ‘distressing enough I wished I had an unhealthy addiction to take the pain away’) about suddenly finding your blog getting thousands of hits a day is that it just increases the amount of people who will find your post and NOT like it. Who will hate what you’ve said, who …READ MORE

In fact, I thought I was going to hate it. In fact, sometimes I did hate it. It seemed like something pretentious people did after talking about obscure bands I wouldn’t hear about for another two years. In fact, I was so obnoxious that I even said something like that in my very first post. Oy.
Confession: The very first blog I ever read was This Fish. I have no idea how I found it, I just remember reading the entire history of archives over the course of two days, amazed …READ MORE

I'm a tramp., i'm hot like fire, is it weird this makes me cry?, it happened this week, it makes sense to me, Uncategorized It’s funny how this blogging thing can connect us to others in a way that we never really imagined. The people we meet, the friends we make, from all over the freaking world, it’s kind of amazing, right? I mean you go into blogging probably because you have an affinity for writing, you have something to say, you want to get your words out of your mind and out there, and something else happens as a really good side benny, if you’re lucky. Someone from somewhere far away (like Canada!) stumbles across your blog or you fall upon her’s first, …READ MORE

And when things bother me and I don’t say anything, I turn about 8 shades of crazy all of which involve binging on popcorn and tequila and writing copious amounts of horrible poetry into my journal (sidenote: Why do I only ever write in my journal when I’m unhappy? I swear, if my grandkids are screwed out of love letters- they should at least get a journal that has SOME happy thoughts rather than hundreds of pages filled with angst and pathetic ‘why me?’ statements …READ MORE
April 6th, 2008 in and now you might know everything, blogs, confession of the day, don't hate me for this, i hate it when i blog about blogging, i'm the sum of my failures and my achivements, midgets and/or peacock feathers dipped in gold, question of the day, secrets, thinking, when i say it anyway Do you ever feel like your blog portrays you as someone you are not? Or more accurately, doesn’t portray you are someone you are?
I’ve been thinking about that lately.
Other than the hiccup involving a poor, unfortunate and unoriginal soul- things around the blog have been pretty cheery. There’s been talk of LOVE! And BEAUTY! And FRIENDSHIP! I pretty much have all the ingredients for a rocking Babysitter Club book. I’m thisclose to posting about puppies, but am worried that if my blog publishes one more post soaked in happiness, the whole wordpress system will collapse and I will …READ MORE

Firstly, since Miss Brandylu asked that I hijack her blog whilst she’s away in Vegas (lucky lady), and last night is when The Hills! made it’s debut back, I had to pay proper tribute and do a shoutout for that alone, first and foremost. I’m Brookem, I’m a Hills addict, I like men with a good HOH, and Brandy is one of my most favourite bloggers. I’ve been reading Brandy’s blog for about a year or so now?, and I remember being hooked when I read this post. Brandy and I, despite our geographical distance, seem to be in tune …READ MORE
