My New Obsession
The Writer’s Block is my new obsession, I swear! It’s a project I intended to be a, maybe, check-once-a-day type thing, but I’m there 24/7. I also intended it to be a kick-in-the-ass type thing for my writing, but I’m so busy refreshing the “who’s online” list that I haven’t gotten any writing done. Oops!
I knew starting a group blog for writer’s would be something that would interest a few people, but, so far, it’s been very active! People join, people post, people comment. *dies of happiness* It makes me feel all giggly inside when something I create actual, um, works.
Besides working on the Block, my time is being monopolized by Pickles. She has learned how to knock on my bedroom door. So, even if I kick her out, she’s still taking up my time! Rotten kitten!
Her first vet appointment is on Tuesday. I wonder if he’ll give me a kitty tranquilizer if I ask nicely.

Every time I turn around, Wordpress amazes me. The most recent OMGZ-THIS-IS-AWESOME event was the realization that plugins are being made for idiots. One of those idiots is me.
With a simple upload and activation alone (NO EDITING!), I was able to add Commentluv (links to your latest blog post automatically when you comment), Gravatars, social bookmarking, and threaded comments! Do you know how amazing that is? The last time I tried to install a plugin, I nearly killed myself trying to find lines and edit and copy and paste and… *dies a little*
I was also able to add a few things behind the scenes, but who cares about those? *runs to reply to a comment and look at gravatars*
32 commentsOne Word Blog Day (Phailure & Rebirth)
Right. I admit it. I failed to keep OWBD going, even though it was a day for the lazy. Turns out, I’m lazier than lazy. I’ve reached a new level of lazy. I call it Boredom. My parents call it Bumville. But they also call Larry the Cable Guy funny; so we won’t count their vote.
OWBD was supposed to be May 31st this year, and some did participate. However, with lack of my participation/word-of-mouth advertising/forcing people to do it at gunpoint, it failed to take off like it did in the first year. We had over 70 participants for its first time in the waters of the internet, but the second time… not so much.
Why did I let one of my biggest successes go to waste? Sims 2’s fault, probably. Well, I propose a new start. Instead of May 31st (since most of us missed it), let’s do it June 30th this year! For those of you who did actually do it on May 31st, do it again, bitches!
GO OUT! SPREAD THE WORD! LIVE THE DREAM!
