It’s funny. A few of the blogs I read regularly have been quiet recently, and today two of them had new posts. Both of them basically said “I know, I haven’t posted, and I want to, and I will, but I’ve been busy, and don’t forget me. Keep checking in.”
In both cases, I will, because I definitely enjoy reading them. I just find it funny because I haven’t posted lately either, but it’s not because I’ve been especially busy, or stressed. It’s just that nothing has happened that I find… well… bloggable. I don’t want to fall into the trap of writing about how I had an absolute devil of a time comparatively pricing cat food, or how I constructed a scale model of the Statue of Liberty out of dryer lint. I mean, I wouldn’t want to read that shit - why would anybody else? (Okay, maybe the Statue of Liberty thing could be interesting.)
So I guess I’m trying to say the same thing here: I know I haven’t written, but if you do read this drivel occasionally, don’t give up on me. There’s some stuff fermenting in my brain that might be worth a read once it’s done.

Blogging in the summer is hard. I’m scraping the bottom of the barrel myself.

Sassy: is it the summer that does it? I have noticed that a lot of blogs have been quiet lately, and I thought that maybe we all just have boring lives.

I think I blog more when the people I read blog. Weird, I know. Everytime I see someone post “hey, I’ll be gone for a few days” I think “hey, with all that time not spent reading blogs, I can catch up on writing them!”. But the opposite happens. Can’t help it. I’ve just been brain dead lately. I really need to get back into writing so that I have something to write about. Vicious oval.

I know my problem is just that I have a boring life. So I respectfully request that all of you in my google reader post more frequently so I have something to read. Plzkthxbye.

Looks like you’re on the road to recovery. Thanks for the link to littleredboat. It was just what I needed, today.

You’re welcome. She’s got some hilarious posts, and even though she isn’t posting lately, she’s got enough archived to keep me busy ’til she gets back.

I totally know the feeling - I think Facebook might have something to do with it…

I have skirted the edges of Facebook, but have yet to take the plunge into setting up an account. Perhaps, given your experiences, I might want to avoid it altogether?
