users manual

so, if I were to admit that I have been wanting a blog for a long time. I wonder would that make me a 'cool library-thing hipster geek' or just a big fat procrastinator.
both, in my book. because I'm pretty much electronically declined, or reclined, or afraid.
I have assumed that if I tried to create a blog, I would make some miserable mistake and would end up losing it somehow. (the blog, I mean)
Can you believe that. I still manage to lose things online, not just because of passwords,even.
I have a myspace page, and I can't find it. I'm lost among the other sabrina's i guess.
sigh.

so, yes, I write about all that I think about. and that makes me just like everyone else sort of. but I may take quite a while to figure this thing out. (the blog, i mean)

I still have a little trouble absorbing the essence of digital things that don't really exist.
like if the power went out, would I still "have" a blog? I guess, i would , I just couldn't show it to you. that's a little weird, but I'm going to try to own it anyway.

which brings me to my inspiration in this matter (the blog, i mean)
if a tv fell in the woods. I don't know how to link it, or even direct you to it, but you found me- so you are much more capable than I.
Go& find the blog! this woman watches all the bad tv for me, I think she's like the badtv godmother I never knew existed!

I know I'm being vague here, but that is one of the cardinal rules for being a great writer. embed a message in your rant that only the few can find.
thats how you stay an underground phenom, then you just hope and pray that Oprah picks up your second book, so that you can somehow separate your international phenom-self from the underground one.
okay- now you know one secret.
go watch tv.

S:

I noticed that the Chicagoland WC Folk Blog got you started on your own. It's quite addicting, I have to say (though finding time to write is always THE challenge). I decided to use blogs for WC stuff after I started my own personal one with some friends this summer (Fertile Plots). It's been a lot of fun.

Happy Writing (and thanks for standing up for peer tutors during that meeting).

Hey Sabrina!

I noticed your blog has the same template as mine now. Congrats on the wise choice, O Renaissance English Major.
