Seriously Silly Post

In an effort to update more and have this blog feel more conversational, I'm going to post more informally at least once a week. I will keep up with the introspective essays and shit, but you know? Sometimes I'm not that serious.

I've been brainstorming labels to examine. I just came up with one right now: silly. Yeah, I'm definitely silly. Here are a few of the less serious labels I plan to examine.

• Geek
• Crafty!
• Hyper
• Drama Queen
• Sex-positive

A few other labels I take more seriously....

• Feminist
• Skeptic
• Christian
• Sensitive
• Poet

That last one might make me seem pretentious, but I don't always take my poetry that seriously. I could do a post about "pretentious" as well. Although I think the examination would go something like this: I'm the least pretentious person you will ever meet. The end. My family had a lot to do with that - we don't let people take themselves too seriously. We also use teasing as a form of affection so if someone IS taking themselves really seriously, we usually knock them down a few pegs with some harmless name-calling or food-throwing. Okay not so much the latter. Unless my grandma's there. She loves throwing food. Especially green beans. She hates eating green beans. Wow perhaps this will be my examination of the word SILLY.

Okay back to business. So those are a few of the highlights you can expect from me here in the coming weeks. I have a busy June planned - I'll be traveling the next three weekends in a row, including an extended weekend trip to Las Vegas mid-June. I can't wait. I guess I'll have to though. UGH! But I will be making this a priority here. Cuz you know I love my readers. Yes, I'm talking to you... *wink*

That's enough of my silliness for now. Except for this photo of me stapling my lips shut.
