a blog about lists.

The blog-creating process is done.  Name has been chosen, preferred theme has been applied, custom header has been created.  I click on my shiny-new URL and see the uninspiring customary first-post provided by WordPress.  Jesus.  Now, just what in the hell do I blog about?

I may be putting too much pressure upon myself for this.  I have blogged in some form for about 10 years.  From Diaryland when I was 14 to DeadJournal, then to LiveJournal, now here.  Before all that, I sent out a newsletter on AOL to a list of subscribers who apparently didn’t mind reading my crappy 11-13 year-old poetry and ramblings about how much I loved Devon Sawa and Isaac Hanson.  The others weren’t so much blogs as they were diary entries, but I digress.  So, what to write about?  I have a habit of making lists upon lists, lists about list, so.. naturally, I created a list.

– The spaghetti I had for lunch?

– How much I hate ice cube trays and what I would do to improve them?

– All of the crap I need to do around my apartment, but for some reason, can’t get inspired to do it?

– The movies I’ve watched this week?

– My ridiculous weekend?

– A job interview I had on Friday?

– My first night working at The Ledger?

– My grandmother’s passing, or more favorably, my grandmother?

– What do my cats think about when they just sit for hours on end, staring into space?  And they think I’M the crazy one.

– ….?

So, there you have it.  My first blog.  About lists.  If you are a fellow list-er, hold your head high!  Salute the list!  I’m sure there will be more to come.  And more blogs about the subjects found in my incessant listing.  But for now, I part.
