Core Dump

If a tree falls in the forest, but there is no one there to hear it, does it make a noise / If a new blogger writes some crap on their site, and no one goes to read it, does it help them share?

I really like this idea of "sharing" stuff about myself, and I am a little embarressed to admit how much I like it.  I shouldn't be, since a zillion other people love it as well, prompting the development of the new internet trend known as blogging, which I am rather late to jump on to.

So I am having a little problem, that being no one reads my stupid blog. 

Sure, I get to indulge in these fun little conversations with myself, but we all know that isn't going to cut it.  It would help if I told some people about it, huh?  I told my boyfriend, but he works too much to look at this (or figures that he hears what I have to say enough as it is).  I showed my BF Laura, but she is also a busy girl.  And neither of them are really into reading blogs.  Though, *barb* you would think that one of the closest people you know having one would change that, *ahem!*

...when you write a bunch of stuff in some sort of little text entry box like on a blog, or hotmail, and then you accidently navigate away from it, and lose twenty minutes worth of writing? Honestly, it really perturbs me even if it is just a couple of sentences.  But if it is a few paragraphs, oh boy!

I found a *fabulous* web site today.  I added it to the list o' blogs on my page.  Anyway, some Stanford Student has created a page where he lists things that he hates.  This young man had managed to do so without at all sounding bitter or pompous, and I really feel that he has elevated the compilation of annoying things to quite a fine art. 

Myself, I hate a lot of things.  Lots of little things.  I notice them, here and there.  It isn't like I am on the lookout for them.  They just pop up *everywhere*. Once the weekends, I finally have extended periods of time with a captive audience (my boyfriend) with whom I can share all of these outrages.  Call him crazy, but he would like to unwind when he isn't working, and relax.  But I get so much joy out of sharing things that I hate! 

What is a girl to do?

I TOO will blog what I hate!  That's right! Stanford kid, you have inspired me.  He also has some sort of financial training class.  That might inspire me too. Here's to you Stanford college dude!  No, my blog probably won't be as witty.  Its sole purpose won't be to talk about what I hate, but I will create a category for it.  I definitely don't hate all the same stuff he hates.  I totally disagree about tater tots, for example.  I believe that there is a space out there for my own hate.

Charles is going to be soooo psyched that he won't have to hear about all this stuff anymore when we are taking nice quiet hikes. 

Oh, how lovely!  Perhaps i am actually starting a blog!  There is of course a lot of pressure for the first entry to rule. I, however, will not succumb to such unneccessary pressure.  Oh no!  I will just say "Oh" and use a lot of exclamation marks!  I love those so! 

Seriously, I haven't exactly been exercising my writing skills lately.  So take it easy on me.  Don't expect me to be all clever and what not.  Maybe some other time, like on my second or third post, I will attempt to clarify the limitations of this here blog.  At the moment, it is practically 3am, so whatever crappy lists I have created will have to suffice.  You have no choice.
