Whoa... no update in July.
That is scandalous, even for me, the World's Laziest Blogger.
The blog has been on my mind a lot. I've had every intention of writing posts in glorious prose... but no matter how hard I thought about it, no such posts appeared.
I ask you, why couldn't my pure intent lead to amazing blog content?
Of course, the upside of leaving the blog dormant for weeks at a time is that now I actually have some things to tell you. As opposed to before, when I just made stuff up.
Okay, so I don't really have THAT much to tell you (I'm still me - unfortunately - and even though I haven't been blogging, that doesn't mean I haven't been tethered to my bed or my computer for most of my time), but in the following days, you will hear - in no particular order - about how I made wine (I did!), how I was taken to a concert by another blogger (I was!), how my past is haunting me on (and off) facebook, how I went to a big birthday bash in Cape Town and met a million more people to add to facebook, how I've been propositioned by a man (I was! And yes, he is alive... but he is also very married!!!! So no, don't even gasp because I SO didn't and won't EVER do that. I know full well what it's like to be cheated on, courtesy of my former long-term American boy and his female co-worker. Feel free to insert a number of creative and yet very insulting adjectives here, because I can't even be bothered. I'm getting my therapy regarding that vicariously through acid-penned-when-it-comes-to-descriptions-of-her-sleazy-loser-scumbag-ex, Guardian columnist Liz Jones. Therefore I shall never even consider a relationship with someone who is already committed (be it by law or by his word) to someone else. Whether that word or law means anything to him or not. And for that matter, which is why I shall never again consider committing myself to someone who isn't canine.)
Where were we?
So what would you like to hear about first?
Well, start with the concert... though I can't wait to read all the other entries of events having been given the Red treatment in the blog... this will be totally new news to me....
i'm actually interested in the nanny-saga part III. just kidding (well, not really but...) - actually the past haunting you on and off facebook sounds interesting... :)
Well first things first, Red... you are awesome! Nobody who reads your blog thinks any different. You use your humour much like I do, but the truth is you have so many readers that think you are a wonderful writer, person, and friend.
Write what you want to write about, when you want to write it... We'll always be here to read it.
My
is BLOCKED!!! :'(
Now how come i was not invited to said bash!!!! hmm!!!
*hug*
Dee-darling: Sorry chicka! Looks like the concert has been out-voted by... of all things... facebook! (Are there any MORE ways that evil, evil networking site can take over our lives?!?)
Kim: Oy, the nanny saga... Actually, I DO need to finish that, before the Nanny Diaries movie comes out and everyone thinks I've ripped it off. And those girls who wrote the book claimed it was fiction... yeah, right! Us former au pairs know better, don't we? facebook it shall be, then.
Amy: You as well!?!? I'll definitely look you up. Hey, we might as well be in it together as facebook completely take over our lives, yeah?
Mike, you angel: Your cheque's in the mail!! I love your fianceé, because she is clearly making you see the world (including my lil' ol'e blog) through rose-tinted glasses!!!
Hey ho, Silver: I can't believe your company has blocked you guys from facebook as well... Poor sweetie. Are you having withdrawal symptoms yet? BTW, the birthday party happened way before I met you.
Kathy: Hey Hot Mama! Yes, you're right. Dormant blogs ARE sexy, because that means it's not sullied by my scribblings. But of course, it also helps if the blog in question was designed by smokin' chicks with loads of moxie! AND who are almost P*u*b*l*i*s*h*e*d A*u*t*h*o*r*s too, no less!
