Famous First Words

I really want to be better at blogging. I often think about SO MUCH during the day that I think I will internally combust if I don't get my thoughts out, but somehow, when I sit down at the computer, I never know how to say what I want to say. It always ends up sounding so trite. Maybe I think too much about "sounding right" when I should think about saying something. I don't know. It is a fine line. There are so many topics I want to discuss, but it would help so much to know who reads my words. I tend to work better when I know I have an audience. Is that vain?

So, for now, I will try on my famous first words. Here are a few of the blogs I have thought about writing. Maybe if I get started, someday, I will finish.

  • I have a slight obsession with iced coffee.
  • Watching my grandmother lose her mind makes me dread getting old in a fiercely fearful way.
  • Did anyone else hate it when girls wore cute clothes and make-up to class in college?
  • In all my years of being girly (as girly as I could ever be), I don't remember placing "intelligence" extremely high on my list of ideal traits for the man I would marry. That has changed.
  • Singing in the car brings me great joy.
  • I really wish that I got to ride a rollercoaster and zoom down a waterslide this summer.
  • I believe that this year will test my character more than any year I have lived thus far.
  • Why do so many hate America? MTV.
  • Not everyone thinks like I do. Really?
  • Let me tell you about ground turkey.
  • I really love winning.

You have no idea, seriously.

Hey, I'm back. This time for good. Maybe. Just maybe.

And I feel like I have this argument with you all the time, but I still feel like you are very wrong, or at least very unwilling to look at the other side of the argument. I feel as though you saying "Why do so many hate America? MTV." is a very horrible and, sorry, ignorant statement. If you want to get into it, we can. But I just feel like you always blame media for things, and not to say you're always wrong, but it's just not always the case. Again, I think this is just an unbridgeable divide between you and me, having to do a lot with upbringing and the fact you are very religious and I am not. But if you ever feel like writing that blog post, I will be sitting here, like a Pavlovian dog, salivating at the chance to prove you wrong. In the nicest way possible. ; ) LOL!
