Four fours it is. Cliché, and I’m sorry about repeated blogging in abbreviated list form, but I wanted to communicate and yet wasn’t in a mood to write much. Maybe this is a meta-blog post? I’m blogging about blogging, or wanting to blog.
I hate the word blog.

Four things I haven’t blogged about:

  • the frustration of buying a good, affordable tobacco pipe online (or the fact that I smoke a tobacco pipe, it’s quite lovely)
  • my recent obsession with nail polish hair being ladylike
  • what life is like when ADD and vision-challenged (no, I’m not exaggerating, thank you)
  • the universal I Am Woman Blogger writing voice, which I tend to pick up when I’m reading more than I’m writing

Four things I become easily addicted to that keep me from productivity:

  • Harry Potter fan fiction (thank you Linda, I may never sleep again)
  • researching anything (see hair and nails, above)
  • design ideas–dresses, interior design, collages on canvas, hell manicures have become an artistic outlet
  • small-town emotional drama; I don’t tend to create it or often be in the middle (note to close friends: if that is untrue, contact me immediately. if it ever becomes true, I want a wake-up call STAT) but I can’t help but feel for people in distress. even when they’re ridiculous. (second note: this blog is my outlet for emotional distress, and when I’m happy I tend to be living instead of blogging (yes I am trying to fix that (and I am putting a triple parenthesis in here just for fun, because in any serious writing I have to avoid this), the not-blogging bit at least), but if it’s seeming overly whiny/dramatic/self-absorbed –more than a personal-not-topical blog is designed to be–I would also appreciate a note.)

Four things I blog about too much yet feel I can’t properly express:

  • finances
  • trying to communicate with my mother while becoming an adult, though we both love and respect each other
  • generic angst
  • jobs / not jobs / employment difficulties

Four things I want to write about, but haven’t:

  • tutorials for fun things like crazy recipes and crafting and playing with beauty products (also, beauty products should be an oxymoron, beauty’s something that lights up the eyes, not something to wear on them)
  • why I don’t think college is the best choice for everyone / why our current system of education and work is FUBAR
  • our health system and easy, delightful ways to feel physically good again
  • worker’s rights and my take on the economy, Occupy, and the political system we have in place SLASH history, and why really, folks, we’re better off than we have any right to expect (but should never stop striving, on our own behalf or the behalf of others)
Well. All right then.
