I must admit, I'm a late bloomer -- in blogging that is. Although, you could also say I'm a late bloomer in the body development department. My high school Lit. teacher once said, "you have the substance jong, just work on the form." I was a 75 lb. anorexic-looking 15 year old who could give the Olsen twins a run for their money, so her matter-of-fact statement about my weight was taken with a grain of salt (and a lot of tears, sleepless nights, and life-long therapy). It worked out in the end for me though. When you're thin in high school, chances are when you give birth, you'll develop curves in all the right places (I think I heard someone say this exact line before...gah! you actually believe this crap?). Of course, genetics play a huge part, that's why I always tell my male friends to check out the moms of their girlfriends first before blurting out that ubiquitous proposal. Boys, those wide hips of mom will soon be your future wives' extra baggage. (Don't worry girls, if your men truly love you, they'll look beyond such trivial details as wide hips and er, huge thighs.)
But I digress (like I always do). Let's go back to blogging. I think I'm years and years behind this blogging thing. I started a blog in 2005, but because of my impatience and my past tech-phobia (I used to get intimidated by anything more sophisticated than my trusty old Underwood), I junked that blog before I could even put a decent photo in my profile (that was actually why I quit in the first place, I hated the mumbo jumbo that went with the posting of my minuscule unphotoshopped photo). A few months back, I gave it a try again, but there was a glitch with blogger.com at that time and I got cold feet. Finally, around two weeks ago, I decided to do it one last time, and voila! Here it is. I'm still trying to grope my way around, but I think I'm doing pretty well. What do you think?
I haven't mastered the buttons and gizmos and widgets and whatever you call 'em, but I'm operating on trial mode here, so give me a break. The thing about blogging though is that it takes so much of my time (a luxury multi-taskers like me do not have). Added to this is my internet service provider's propensity to bog down at the most inopportune time. I'm also sharing a pc with my husband because my laptop broke down (thanks to my daughter who decided to give it a coffee bath), so you can just imagine the things that I have to do in order to hog the pc (pole and lap dancing, kinky sex, and maybe a Brazilian wax soon -- ouch!).
I'm enjoying this. I just wish I'm more enterprising (google ads, anyone?), or more OC (as in obsessive-compulsive). I was thinking of sticking to one topic, like fashion or parenting, but hey, life's too short and colorful to put limitations on one's self. There's so much that I want to talk about and putting all of my creativity, angst, thoughts, rantings, ramblings, comments, ideas in one basket would be quite tragic and very, very sad.
And so, tadaa!! I officially welcome myself to the blogging world. Fasten your seatbelts fellow bloggers and readers, this is gonna be one hell of a blog. (Er, I can still resurrect my old Underwood if things don't work out, right?)
