I always think through my posts before I post them. The only one that I can think of where I didn't pre-write was my tomato plant smell post. Usually it's now while I'm typing it, usually i have planned almost exactly what I want to say. When it has a good topic that is. When it's just random babbling about what my day was, it is just that- random babbling. But stuff like... wow, that's pathetic, I haven't had any good posts in awhile. Why on earth do you people keep coming back? I mean of course I'm glad and everything, but it's dull. I don't know if I'd come back to my blog if I were a reader.
Hmm ok so a post that I didn't actually think out before hand. One that is a little less boring then those 'what i did today' posts. Well, this one sort of relates because the conversation I'll mention happened today, but it's not quite the same. Here we go...
For my World Lit. class I will have to pretend I'm a couple from one of the stories I've read and write marriage vows. I was talking this over with wobbie (remember him? he doesn't read this "bloody blog" anymore hehe) today. I was telling him it was going to be easy to write because I'll just have to get into character. But now I'm not so sure. I mean, what do I know? I've never been in love. Sure, I read romance books and know the general romantic tone but it's not the same thing. I won't feel like my words are coming from my heart, because they're not. My heart has never been in love like that, so I'm afraid the characters are going to sound wooden almost. Like they're reading from a script. Because that's basically what I'd be doing; writing a script for them based on other scripts I've read or saw on tv. I've no memories of past loves (since there hasn't been any), no heart breaking assunder at the mere thought of being parted from the one I love, nothing like that. I know what I hope to hear someday, or hope to say someday, but I don't know if it'll work in the story because this couple is supposed to have one of those eternal loves. Oh and also I can't get over the fact that it's not my vows to write. There's a reason the story was printed, because the author used his words and brought forth emotions. Doesn't it seem a bit arrogant to say well even though he didn't see fit to write these vows I can do it? I mean yes, I will do it, because it is an assignment. I just think it's a rather difficult one given that I've nothing to base the feelings on.
Well there ya go. I didn't think that out one bit, so if it sounds crappy or confusing, that's why :)
New template... coming soon.... I know, I keep saying that. sigh. but this time I mean it cause I hate how my posts look in this template. update @ 1:55am: I have a template all ready. well, not quite, it still has to have the blogger and commenting codes put in it, but my pics are uploaded etc etc. So the hardest part is over with, and I'll have my new template up hopefully tomorrow morning, but if not then tomorrow night. I'm too tired to do it now. goodnight.
