Talk About Writer's Block

I know I've been posting fairly infrequently lately, and I really hate that.  I read a number of blogs myself (some of strangers and some of friends) and know that feeling, kind of that I've been left out in the cold feeling, when one of them fails to post on a regular posting today.  I also know this is not the first time I've gone a week without posting and I have a new excuse each time.  This time my excuse: writer's block.

I actually think about my blog and what I'll write about (or vlllooogggaaa about) quite a bit.  And lately, while I've had little snatches or snippets of thoughts about what to write about, they haven't been things I could develop into full blown blogs (or vllloooogggaaasss). So I've been blaming writer's block in my head.*

But no more! I decided to just start typing and see what comes out.  Probably a bunch of good-for-nothing snippets. Let's see!

1. I appreciate the love for the 6:20 in the Morning vlllooogggaaa. That is a rough time of day, so I'm glad you could appreciate me even at that pre-dawn hour. I think that means you love me. You really love me!

2. I'm not reading as much lately. Not sure why. And those 5 biographies I put on my yearly goals list? Killing me.  I'm kicking myself for that foolhardy goal.  Why don't I know about myself that all I ever want to do is read fiction, and preferably the YA variety?

3. I think I've finally gotten over my obsession with the Lizzie Bennett Diaries. I mean, don't get me wrong, I still watch every new video she makes, but I don't think about it other then when I'm watching each new video when it comes out. And I don't try to talk about it to random people** most of the time. That's progress.

4. I was going to write a V-Day blog about how much better it is to be single. Singleness does not often get the credit it deserves for being wonderful.  But then I thought that it would probably come off as pretty smug and possibly offensive to those who are married. Also, not having had the experience of being married, probably means I can't emphatically say that being single is better.  You know, without having done the research personally, I mean. So I've decided against that. I may have already said too much.

5. I've been sick and I hate being sick. 

6. Next week I'm going to pose for a portrait. That will be painted. Of me.  How awesome is this??? I will update you guys more on this next week after it happens. I think it could be a whole blog post. I keep thinking of when Kramer was painted on Seinfeld ("He is a loathsome, offensive brute, yet I can't look away.") 

"The Kramer"

7. I just found out they're having a polar bear swim in my town in a week and a half.  I've ALWAYS*** wanted to do a polar bear swim.  Oh, I hope this works out.

It looks like a few snippets added together create one whole blog post. Hooray!

*I have a LOT of conversations with myself both in my head and out loud. This is normal, right?
**Random people being anyone who stands still long enough.
***Always being hyperbole for the last couple of years.
