Premature Blogulation

Jump to Comments

The first post in a new blog is always so… cheesy. Bloggers nervously introduce themselves – eager to please, of course – and waffle away with all the mundane details of their life. Their name, age, industry… what colour undies they’re wearing. As the blogger, it feels like you’re setting up a hot date between yourself and the readership. But if you only tell people what you think they want to hear (long moonlight beach walks…), you may miss out on what you really want(chowing down a hazelnut Cadbury chocolate bar post shag-fest).

So… am I any different? Nope. I’m just as mundane, just as dull, and just as self-indulgent as every other blogger out there… if not worse. My stories are nothing short of trivial. But I’m going to give it to you straight. The fact remains that I need a space for me and my Big Dic (my Macquarie Dictionary) to take up residence and this is it. If I’ve had a corker of a day, you’re going to cop it. When I achieve something lifechanging – like adding 132 and 999 in my head without using a calculator – you’re going to be the first to know. A great shag? Brace yourself – no adult shop will remain unturned. A mouthwatering chocolate fondue? I’ll be all over it like a fat kid on a cupcake.

My attempts at living a blog-free life were short-lived – hello, two days! 

I wish I was embarrassed by my premature blogulation, but I’m not. I’m just thrilled I got first dibs on thedictionaryismyfriend.wordpress.com
