so i was going to start this post with a "farewell, blogosphere1!" joke, but as soon as i typed it it felt... almost morbid. it was the same feeling you get when a questionable joke is made about someone dying or getting hurt2. despite the recent probably-forgivable-but-definitely-not-forgettable neglect (which may have misled you into thinking that i don't love peanut planet with all my delicious gummi heart), even joking about abandoning blogging forever is like joking with avril lavigne about getting her middle fingers chopped off. she'd probably hate the joke so much she'd use 'em at you. oh, avril! you delightful, punky, 26-year-old divorcée! will you ever grow old? if your wardrobe choices are any indication, you will live forever!
1i actually strongly dislike that word. it just doesn't sound like what it is, to me. "blogosphere" makes it sound made-up and omnipresent (and as much as i wish they were, blogs are sadly not utilized to their full life-enriching potential). i very much prefer to refer to it as the "blogging community." because we are members of a community, damn it!
2something that always comes to mind when
- i'm with people,
- we're waiting for someone to show up,
- it's been way too long of a wait,
- and we have absolutely no idea where he/she is or why he/she's late
is that one line from the song "annie waits," "maybe he's been seriously hurt." and oftentimes i'll say out loud about the person we're waiting for "...maybe she's been seriously hurt," (don't ask me why, sometimes i say it without thinking and sometimes i can't help but say it). and most of the time people think i'm being a weirdo with a dark sense of humor (i guess if that really bothered me i'd stop saying it).
