Do not blog next to your boyfriend when he's sleeping cause it will make him grumpy.

Apparently, people write better when they're 'under the influence'. No one did really specify what influence it is (and I'm going to pretend that I don't drink/do anything illegal because 1. my blog is public and 2. my Dad reads this.) Right now, I'm ridiculously alert and awake even though it is 5.47am. I believe I'm under the influence of extreme over-eating and just plain adrenaline from my body having to digest so much food at such an unreasonable hour.


I was on Twitter the other day, and ladyironchef asked the age old question: why do people write? I immediately replied saying that I enjoyed forcing my opinions down other people's throats, which is true to a certain extent. Honestly though, I write mostly because I have so much to say, and not enough time and people to say it to.


This blog is a very good example. You see, I have hopes that one day, I'll be successful enough to be published and recognised not just in major bookstores, but on the internet (which I totally spelt as interent, and just COULD NOT understand why it looks wrong) too. I mean, blogging is a pretty easy sit-back-on-the-couch-sip-some-wine-listening-to-Bob-Marley-while-eating-fried-chicken kinda job. I'll never have to do my hair and make up, look for impressive work clothes, or even shower. The only thing preventing me from being able to actually accomplish this, is the fact that I don't have enough readers. Without you readers, no one would care enough about me to advertise on my blog.


So you see, instead of having to go around explaining to all my friends and acquaintances and random people who add me on Facebook that I really hate showering and would in fact really appreciate a job that would allow me to stay home in my underwear all day, I can now just write it here! And really, it is for the betterment of everyone that I stay home. I always hear complains from friends about people who don't shower and stink up the public transport. I may not smell bad, but I do shed a lot of skin cells. Do you really want to rub up against old moldy skin while taking the train home?


Also, you should read and follow me here because I'm still quite unheard of (for now), thus still rather 'indie' and 'cool'. You don't want to become a fan only after I'm famous and be accused of jumping on the bandwagon, do you?


PS. even though refreshing the page does up the count for my page views, it doesn't actually give me more unique hits. SPREAD THE WORD! MAKE ME FAMOUS. I'll buy you a jet plane.


PPS. stop asking me why I don't shower. I'm a hippy environmentalist, and showering less makes me feel more 'in my skin'.


PPS. if you oppose to jet planes on the account that you're a hippy environmentalist too, I can buy you a whale instead.


PPPS. 6.23am now.
