I am having writer's block. I so desperately want to post something! I spent most of last night lying on our living room floor, reading this woman's blog about her kids, watching the video snippets she had posted. It was very entertaining. *insert eye rolls from most of those that know me* I wonder... could my blog posts entertain someone all night in like fashion? *doubtful*
Then I read some of this guy's. I also find him to be very entertaining. (I feel like I am introducing friends!)
Then I wondered if I could just copy one of their posts onto this one and thereby boost my own reputation here ("Did you see Jenn's most recent post? She was really on!!"). Of course not because what I love about these blogs are how unique these personalities are. I used to wonder about people who blogged (attention whores), but now I see it as part journaling (finding creative expression, practice for writing and story-telling) and part history (documenting the random happenings that make up one's life).
I think it also might be part participation. Here, all these cool (well, not all) people are blogging. I want to be part of the action! Part of the movement! And it can happen from the comfort of my own computer?! I'm THERE!

hahahahaha
I KNEW you'd read it first bc we posted at the same time!!
See I added a picture? I realize how much it improves the appeal of a blog.
It does. It's a way to show that you are witty. People think, "Oh! That picture makes your post SO MUCH FUNNIER!"
Hi, It's Nobody. Feeling all like a superstar that a young, hip, clearly cool person finds my driveling about my children entertaining and worthy of plagerism. :) Feel free to plagerize. After a while though, people are going to want to know where your kids got the red hair...
So, the picture above, the car magnet, absolutely hilarious.
Also, I have become an attention whore, but I truly began blogging with innocent intentions. I started it as a journaling that my family could read. I love to write, so I've always tried to write so people didn't want to shoot themselves halfway through a paragraph. Other people finding me has been such a nice perk and that has resulted in my whoredomhoodizenhship.
Yes, Nobody--your blog seriously kept me entertained for the better part of the evening. Yes, your kids are highly entertaining, but it's the special way you relate their escapades and your observations on life that really drew me in. Reading your blog also made me realize that's it's good practice, if you're going to have a blog, to write on it regularly even if you're not feeling particularly inspired. Think of the hoards of bloggers you have inspired! If not hoards, then many! or at least a few...
