Now What Do I Do With This Damn Thing?

For someone who would be quite content with sitting in a dank cave just as long as it had a comfy bed and an endless supply of books, I like to yammer endlessly about completely unimportant things. The main problem is that I often find talking annoying. I could yak all day if I didn’t have to actually speak. I’m weird that way.

To remedy this problem, I decided to create a blog. That way I can vomit up my pointless and asinine drivel on the internet for everyone to roll their eyes at. This seems like a fairly good idea, but there are certain problems I haven’t worked out yet. 

One, I’m not always the most disciplined girl in the world. I don’t know how I’m going to keep up with this thing. I’ll be lucky if I can remember my display name before the month is out. Or that I even have a blog. This problem is made worse by the fact that I unfortunately have a life. It’s a tedious life filled with mostly endless schoolwork, but a life nonetheless. Where I’m going to stick this blog in there, I haven’t decided yet.

My other issue is content. As in, what the fuck am I going to post up? Random nonsense, bitching and moaning, pictures, politics, cats, book reviews, any and all of this shit that can ever be imagined in the depths of my mind? I really don’t know what direction this is going in yet. What I do know is that I have a book to finish reading for my literature class and a Psychology midterm to study for and I really don’t want to. That’s what brought me to this little brainstorm. I needed something better (read: NOT something I actually have to do that might even be important.) to do with my time. 

Clearly, I should have thought about this more thoroughly. Then again, I guess the only way to figure out your own style is to find out through experience. It’s just that now people can watch my experience. This makes a shy person like me a little itchy. 

If you’ve stumbled upon this blog now, it’s probably because you’re a friend of mine and you are a very kind and patient person for reading this far. Since you are a friend of mine, I’m going to do you the favor of letting you know that, I have absolutely no idea as to what I am doing. This is still in a very experimental stage, so this is going to be a little random and possibly dull until I find my niche here. 

In other words, I wouldn’t recommend actually reading this or telling people how amazing and creative I am until about a month from now. Hopefully, by then, I’ll have figured out what it is I’m doing. If I haven’t, you’ve all just wasted a lot of time that I can’t return to you.

  1. You have a voice, Dorianna. Just keep writing. You are funny, self-deprecating, droll and sometimes deadly sarcastic. I enjoy your writing, not because I am patient or kind - many people would agree that I am not! - but because you are a good writer. Period. By the way, you bitch and moan with authority and humor, and cats are always cool. Go!

  2. Thank you! I'm going to keep up with this and see how it works. So far it's been very cathartic.
