Creative Block

I've redesigned my blog in hopes of getting a new start and inspiring my writing. However I used a basic template and the overall redesign took me under 5 minutes. Needless to say I'm left completely underwhelmed. I don't know what to write. I've logged on and off my account for the last two days. I'm staring at the screen and running ideas through my head. None that are engaging or the least bit catching to write about. About an hour ago I got a craving for Chinese food and used modern technology to phone me in some grub (should be here any minute now...). Spiderman is on in the background but Peter Parker is doing nothing to keep me interested (however he's just barely been bitten by the spider and large muscles and exuding confidence will shortly ensue...we'll see). I'll probably go on a short walk between this paragraph or the next. Will definitely be fitting in time for greasy vegetable lo mein ANY TIME SOON. Geez where can I find me a timely delivery man/woman.

I like the title of this post which directs the reader to think I have a block to some creative artistic endeavor. Nope, just haven't been able to write for the last year and a half. I realize that "writers block" would be the more appropriate term, but my desire to write is usually fueled by creativity. Something I've been lacking for say, oh a good year and a half. Plus by using the term creative block I can picture me sitting at a pottery wheel, something akin to the infamous scene on Ghost. I want to thank my friends who have encouraged me to start "blogging" again and so me writing about not being able to write is all I can give you for now. Starting to lose interest...

(15 minutes later). I've just given myself the best chuckle and I figured I'd share. My sister is looking to rent out an extra room in her house (if interested let me know). She has been receiving some odd inquiries about the room and we were just having a laugh about them this morning. She's starting to wonder if she'll get some serious e-mails so I decided to draft the following. It was sent approximately 9 minutes ago.

Hey thur,

I like the looks of attair roomin. If yo allow me to be bringin my cat I’d be willin to rub yer feet. Feets es my specialty as I studied yurs while ya climed. If yo don’t take cur of those bunions thell be getting real bad. Ah bleeve if yur a churcher goin lady we’d git along real fine. Lord willing ill be able to share that house with ya. And I love gardens cause I love me some squarsh.

Respond tonight,

Jimmy

well well well. Looks like i'm not the only one you don't chat with much anymore. I'm sure glad your bloggin, cause now I can blog stalk you too. Too as in yes I am already "real" stalking you. But it would be nice to see you in person, instead of perched outside your window hoping to catch glimpses of you through the blinds. Just sayin.


ps. if this is a duplicate, sorry, bloggers being stupid.

Chels I have to be a dinner girl now that I'm full time but YES I'll let you buy me dinner at Bamabara. That's what you asked right? :)

Miss Catie, you sweet thing, it was a joke because I was the one who wrote the e-mail!!! I'll be calling you soon to schedule me some Catie time. Missing u so much!

Lastly my oddly shaped head, creepy friend Melissa. Please don't stop "real" stalking me. The heavy breathing at my window is quite soothing and I've found it's replaced my sound machine of the ocean. Please just pop a breath mint in tonight. How the heck are you little momma?! Not only do I need to see you, but your baby!!! Let me know your schedule these days.

Well Miss Alina, my schedule is pretty easy goin. I think you will be the one with the scheduling conflicts. Pretty much anytime is good for me except Friday nights and Wednesdays. How bout you? Oh, and P.S, could you please start wearing some more appropriate pajamas? I am starting to feel like a creep.
