Love it.  I’d just have to find a clear mug to drink out of all the time.

I’m trying to figure out what stopped me from writing.  What’s stopping me from writing now?  As with a lot of things these days, I find myself saying, “I don’t know what happened, but I used to do this… I used to do that.”  Anywho, “I used to” write in my (*wincing)* Xanga blog about random crap all the time.  I mainly wrote about what I did that day or what my plans were and/or what I already accomplished for that week or whatever.  It was an extremely basic, not necessarily well written and sometimes funny little site.  There are things in my old blog that I wouldn’t even PONDER putting on missydetrick.com.  I have to watch my language a bit more.  Definitely watch how much personal information I share.

What are us bloggers supposed to write about anyway?  Maybe that’s the problem.  Yeah, I know every blogger is different.  Many people use blogs as a personal or creative outlet, a career/industry-focused portal or just a hobby.  I’m…well, I’m confused.  I think it all comes down to my overall issue in life at the moment: I just want someone to tell me what to do because I no longer feel like I know what I’m doing.  Sometimes I feel like screaming, yelling and b*tching on here, but most times I…just don’t do… anything.  I THINK I have a lot to say yet always end up changing my mind at the last moment.  What do people want to hear or read?  Is this entertaining?  Will I sound stupid?

Oh screw it, I just won’t write at all.

Stick a carrot in it, Thumper.

It’s kind of a “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all” sort of deal.  (That was in Bambi, right?)    Maybe someday I’ll feel like I have something better to say, but until then I have to at least start saying something.

Interest in Interests

January 15, 2010 · 3 Comments

I need to start going to concerts again. I’ve always considered concerts an “Interest,” you know, on all of the important things like my Facebook profile and whatnot (ha.) but I’ve come to the realization that I never actually go to them.

And then I started thinking, “Well, what else am I supposedly interested in but never really research, partake in or fully enjoy?”  Let’s see… here’s what’s on my Facebook profile:

“Music, friends, family, laughing, photography, fashion, art, books, reading books, sleeping, kittens, travel, beaches, Europe, dreaming, surprising people, breaking stuff”

Well, sh*t.  “Concerts” isn’t even on there.  Disregard this post.  Wait, I guess “Concerts” could be grouped into the “Music” category, right?  Moving on…

Music – check

Friends – check

Family – check…well, for the most part… check

Laughing – check

Photography – check.  Hello?  I subscribe to photography RSS feeds!  Pshhh…

Fashion – I think my weekly, if not daily obsession of checking lulu.com and forever21.com counts.

Art – What is art, really? Photography?  Music?  “Art is life, man.”  Or was it “Life imitates art”… .I don’t know.  I’m pretty sure everyone has some sort of interest in an art form.

Books/Reading Books – Check.

Sleeping, kittens,dreaming, surprising people, breaking stuff – Yeah, I got it.

Travel/Beaches – Okay, so I research a lot of trips on cheapcaribbean.com.  Just so you know, prices for Secrets- Maroma Beach have skyrocketed this year!  I should’ve gone last August…

Europe – I’ve tried to think of a reason why I put this in there.  I think it’s because Europe is interesting to me?  I’d love to travel around Europe?  Ehh, I don’t know.  Maybe I should blame Anthony Bourdain.  I probably just updated my profile after drinking a bit of red wine.
