Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education like, such as South Africa, and, the Iraq, everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

I’ve been looking around at some of my favorite blogs today, and it hit me as I was reading Nick’s site today. Why don’t I ever comment on some of these sites? I guess I don’t feel I have much to contribute lately. I mean, this blah mood still has me feeling… well, blah. I’ve even stopped responding to comments left on my blog, though I read them all. I think I may have even unintentionally turned some people away from reading my blog by not responding to comments. I also know there are people who read my blog who never comment and who haven’t signed the guestbook. I wonder why we do this. I’ve made it a point to try to leave some more feedback on a few more sites today.
I’m putting together a list of sites of artists and small businesses I support. My friend Gloria makes soap. I like products from some of those soap and lotion places just fine, but I find the idea of handmade soaps to be a really wonderful idea. And now that I’ve tried her soaps, I can say with confidence that her soaps are really wonderful. If you’re interested in checking out her business, it’s called Lamoon Soaps. I will have a list of other sites here later.
With all these sites being redesigned around me, I’m definitely feeling pressure to get to work on mine. Dan redesigned his site when he released the details of The Moxie. Then there’s Janet and Heather both of whom redesigned their sites. Oz is in the process of building her new site to promote her new business. My latest excuse is that I don’t want to work on redesigning my site until I get the new computer. (By the way, I find it very interesting that so many of the blogs I read are run by people who use Macs. Go figure.)
Maybe today will be the day I stop procrastinating and work on getting myself out of this blah mood. Or maybe I’ll just take a nap.
I like your idea about listing the various small businesses that are run by your friends and other people you know. I always enjoy hearing about other people who are sucessful with their ventures.
As for the redesign, I don’t think your site needs one. Looks great as is!
Thanks for the link. Suddenly I feel the pressure to write something witty and interesting. Eeep!
Cheers for the comment too. And drivel?! Not a bit of it. If you really were writing rubbish, people wouldn’t keep coming back.
I never leave posts because I always feel like that awkward girl from highschool. It’s been years though, so on second thought maybe I should start commenting on blogs with reckless abandon! Right. (back to my corner I go)
I’m glad you posted this. I’ve noticed that you’ve been a bit quiet lately–both with commenting and with the frequency of your posts–and it’s good to hear what’s going on with you. Do what you feel is right. If that’s commenting, then comment. If it’s being quiet, then do that.
It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
