"...oh, well, make a decision..."

Sometimes (and only sometimes) this URL bears too much of a weight. For some reason, I get caught up in this idea that it's all got to be very significant or it's not worth reading. Here's to unreal expectations.

So I call this: (In)Consistent Me Lite.

1) Reasons why I don't have a Twitter.
          (The only way to illustrate this point is to give you a sample of how my Twitter would probably run.)

8:17am- I just woke up and am desperately trying to decide which crew neck sweatshirt to put on. Which one goes better with a french press- grey...or grey?
9:12am- Obscure song lyric.
10:00am- Thinking about going for a run, but it's probably too cold. Tweet that back if you want to make fun of my lack of determination.
10:47am- Obscure song lyric.
12:00pm- Debating whether or not to get coffee before I pick the kids up from school... I think I'm classifiably addicted. Well, what do you do?
12:35pm- Car pool line. I feel like we always all sit in the same order. How does this happen?
1:41pm- Obscure song lyric.
2:04pm- Movie with Abby. I remember the days when I could watch Cinderella twice a day and it didn't get old. Something's changed- right about now I'd like to punch Tinkerbell in the face.
3:17pm- Obscure song lyric or something cute one of the kids said.
4:24pm- Walking to the park today, the dog got spooked and took off after a squirrel. My arm is still recovering. The good news is that I know I have a guard dog on my hands. All rodents beware.
5:02pm- Obscure song lyric.
....do I need to continue?

(All I've done now is convinced everyone that I do, in fact, secretly have a Twitter. Because, you feel like you've seen this before?)

2) Reasons Why Relieving Your Childhood is Not (Always) a Bad Thing
There are extreme upsides to being a little kid that I had completely forgotten about. Besides junk food and the mandatory afternoon nap, there's all the little things that come with being a kid. Like...

unlimited energy and the ability to run long distances without being tired or winded.
excuses to watch and laugh at things that aren't supposed to be funny, but are.
being able to really show how you feel in pressing situations. Like if you're tired- you whine until someone puts you to bed or if you don't feel good- you can repeat it over and over again and no one will tell you to shut up and take some DayQuill already, god!
small things are the best things. When a piece of candy is ALL you've ever hoped or dreamed about wanting all day- this has got to be a good life.
doing over the top and social inappropriate things is not considered weird, it's encouraged! Want to wear a flouncy pink princess gown to target? Sure- why not! Want to run around the living room and make up all kinds of audiences and stages around the world- please do! It shows you're growing.
you're not (really, to an extent) responsible for anything. Be clean, quiet when asked and generally respectful and everyone loves you.

3) General Blog Housekeeping Things
I'm going on four years doing this. Which is incredibly strange to me, since all of these words were sparked by a dare with a girl I have not seen or heard from in almost two years. Oh, how so many ideas are spawned out of dares and jokes. (As a good friend said the other day, "That might be the nicest little hipster anecdote I've ever heard.")
Anyways, I am working on moving this site, or updating it or something. I have no idea when that will happen or how. For being a person blessed with a multitude of extremely nerd(ish) friends, it seems no one can really give me clear direction in the ways of the internet. They're trying, don't get me wrong. I think it might be my own user-inadequacy more than anything else.
Anyways, if and when the jump happens, I'll make some kind of blog-related announcement.
