Last night, when I was going to sleep (but couldn't, I ended up staying up until 5.00 am, and yes, I do manage to screw up my sleeping pattern in as much as two weeks of a holiday, because I'm magical like that, thank you very much) I realised that I don't actually know how to write a blog. What I mean is that I come up with something I really want to share with the internets (and solely the internets, I will never get over my complaint about the fact that I never have any comments on here and I feel ridiculous typing solely to myself and still do it), and then I type it down. And then I click send. And then I surf to someone else's blog, stare at it for a long, long time and think "wow, this person really knows how to do it" or "I wish I had something as interesting to say."
Maybe it's just that I know what I'm thinking, so of course I'm not interesting to myself. But it also seems that I'm really lazy and I don't have the patience or resources to, for example, recommend something or rate something or tell about something I did or read or saw or something (I should stop saying "something", I'm not seeming very serious, now am I), because, generally, I don't. I think I just recently complained about the fact that I spend money on books I don't even read any time soon -- which happened again yesterday, I bought two books by Robert A. Heinlein who wrote Stranger in a Strange Land, a novel I absolutely adored and then had to flee Borders running, so that I wouldn't spend my money on something else I wouldn't read soon -- and it's pretty much the same thing with everything else, too.
Right now I could justify my lack of activity (and thus lack of things to talk about other than my great and royal self, sorry to any poor potential reader who has wandered so fully away from their intended path) either with my screwed up sleeping patterns, or by the fact that I'm a great procrastinator, or by the fact that it's the FIRST of FLIPPING OCTOBER and NANOWRIMO IS, like, IN A MONTH.
As one of my friends would say,
HOLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
