Happy 2011!

Is it too early for me to gripe? I don’t think so: Is there anything more annoying than when you’re trying to concentrate and someone tries to talk to you? Whenever I’m at the computer I feel like I’m trying to remember a number of things which may just be the effect of tabbed browsing and also my super high powered lightning quick brain (which can’t retain much) and then now that I’m living with eight hundred other human beings someone will come by and say hi in a very normal nice way and I will try my hardest to eke out the tiniest hello without losing whatever I’m trying to remember and without making them feel like an asshole for being friendly. Maybe I should do what everyone used to do at the magazine I worked for? Wear earphones that weren’t plugged in and greet any sort of intrusion with ferocious bitchiness? It’s a particular problem when trying to write any sort of blog post. Unlike writing a story or anything in a word document which feels linear in a way, writing a blog post always involves the feeling of juggling a bunch of balls. I don’t know why. That is all.

    I really enjoy writing, and really don’t mind the interruptions, although I recently have been having more enjoyment from talking! Anyway, here’s my secret to having fun writing. First off forget worrying about spelling words correctly. Throw proof reading out the window. Run on sentences are your friend! Put the FUN back into sharing your thoughts with people. If they can’t make heads or tails of what the HELL you are talking about it’s their loss!
