Writers block making me do desperate things.
October 12th 2006 20:26
What a way to start off a new blog. Writers block. Grrr. All of a sudden, nothing seems good enough to talk about. Normally, blogging comes so naturally to me. I can usually just sit down here, pound some shit out, laugh at myself and get on with life. I never rough draft, or make a list of ideas, I just write. Whatever is in me.
Now all of a sudden writing about the amazing cookie find I made this morning doesn't seem good enough. (Dad's oatmeal scotch cookies) Writing about my kids rolling around in the leaves in pure bliss, seems corny and vain. Writing about my hot night with my husband seems to tacky. Writing about my issues in general seems to personal.
All of a sudden, I've been thrust into this new thing, and I don't know how to handle it. It's as if my legs have been swiped out from under me. Will I be good? Will I be funny? Why does it suddenly matter now?
As much as I don't want this to be a "What I had for lunch today" blog, I find myself wanting to write that shit out. (Chicken salad on whole wheat crackers if anyone DOES care)
My friend suggested I write down all the people I'd like to punch in the neck if I really get blocked. Since, I just wrote down my lunch, I think she's right. So, here's my list.
Melrose from America's Next Top Model for being a catty, insecure bitch, yet she still rocked it last night.
Paris Hilton for being Paris Hilton.
Rachel Ray for her overuse of the phrases "trash bowl" and EVOO
My daughter's soccer coach for giving me stank eye when I told him we would be unable to go to the All Star game. The look said "I wasn't going to call you guys anyway, your child sucks."
Joan Cusack for that weird neck thing she has going on.
The creators of "Mr. Meaty" that is one freaky ass show.
Mattel for the Poopin' Barbie Dog.
Laura from Project Runway for being a hormonal, jealous skank about Jeffrey having all his work done. I wasn't rooting for him before, but I am now.
All the attention whores on all my message boards for being attention whores. I won't list names as I need all the readers I can get.
There. I've hit an all time low.
Off to stick my head in the oven.

Sandi, you are a rare breed of funny, forward, witty, and honest, and that makes your blog so much fun to read. I'll definitely be tuning in!

Oh. and I sort of like the Mr Meaty episode when they gave that girl a sausage nose
