Ok people, so here’s the deal:
Yesterday was the highest traffic day this site has seen in quite sometime. Shout out to everyone who stopped by and for the hilarious commentary that some of you provided.
Today, unfortunately is not going to be a repeat performance.
Just some of my random thoughts as of late…
When everything is young…fresh…and neeeeeeeew
Let me state the obvious. This is my sixth blog home. I’ve been told that I have blog commitment issues. To an extent, I agree with this statement. I am a Libra and we strive for a sense of aesthetic and sensual balance. The places we inhabit have to appeal to us on every level before it feels like home. Finding a permanent blog home has been so difficult because nothing ever felt just right. I needed the right visuals, freedom to tweak the designs and a nifty, easy-to-use backend. I also needed to feel like I had something to say.
Since I began tweeting all the way back in September 2008, I have seen the Blogosphere change dramatically. A personal blog in 2010? Who the hell does that? Better throw in some fashion, some gossip and so-called “expert” advice if you want to get hits. (Cue XV’s Everybody’s Nobody here) And thus my on and off relationship with consistently maintaining a blog began. I was constantly thinking about what to write. Wondering what people would want to read and how much of my personal life should be filtered in and out of my posts. The result? A year of writer’s block and uninspired subliminal mumbling, sprinkled with a few readable posts here and there. That’s when I was writing at all, which became a rare occurrence.
Just a girl with a writing habit, using a blog to share my stories and passions. These are the tales, interests, and observations of the quiet nerd in the corner of the bookstore; the professional woman strutting down the street in slacks clutching her Blackberry; the dork in bed by 9pm on a Saturday night; and the B-girl in the middle of the dance floor getting down in her sensible shoes. Welcome to the world of The Skinny Black Girl.
