Bandages and Blogging

So i'm lying in my bed with my 'domesticated' cat wrapped around my arm, and i'm thinking about SL and my blog.  It occurs to me that i need to change my focus.  Less of the heart on sleeve stuff and a little more objective reporting.  More pictures, too.  Most importantly, my poor old Blog needs its sense of humour back! 

Being a caring sort of person, i plaster my Blog in bandages and coddle it a bit and point to all the crappy blogs out there typed up by people who can't write.   I tell my blog that people writing blogs are like fat women wearing leggings... in other words, just because they can doesn't mean they should (or that anyone wants to look at that ugly sh*t).  My Blog is one of the lucky ones!

I inform my Blog that i just created a simile nestled inside an extended metaphor.   I remind my Blog that i can do this stuff because i can write -- even write well on occasion.  At the same time i feel a tad shamefaced 'cos i'm not that confident and seldom blow my own trumpet.  On the rare occasions i do, it usually ends up awash with snot and tears -- the trumpet, that is.  :-)

So no more tearful, angsty posts wrung from the bleeding heart.  The heart will heal itself, eventually.  I give my Blog a spoonful of "pick yourself up" and tell it go visit my Flickr and bring back something useful instead.

I extract my arm from the feline embrace, and put on my typing fingers.
