My apologies to Charles Wilkins

Choose Your Own Adventure #3

In order to get my point across about how easy it is to write funny posts, I've spoofed the poem Pancakes by Charles Wilkins. Mr. Wilkins, I am sorry for any way this embarrasses your brilliance.

Writing Funny Redeemed Diva Style

There's a trick to writing funny

That everyone should know

The trick is this: Be Honest

Loosen up! Let go!

Hit 'em with a metaphor

Hit 'em with a rhyme

Go and repeat yourself

Half a dozen times

Til

your

post

is...

Filled with expectation

Higher than your house

Higher than your mortgage payments

Higher than a mouse?

Then dose it with reality

Pour it on strong

Let them see how obvious

It is that you are wrong

The pressure to do an amazing first post is immense!

Hello friendly world!
I've promised for months that I was going to do a blog once I moved so that all my friends could read my random thoughts and stay in touch while having tea at their computer.

Ta-da!
Here it is. (Insert crowd screaming here)

I must admit, the pressure is on to write something witty or deeply profound. First impressions count right?

Right?!
But, wait, I'm writing to my friends...therefore a first impression has already occurred which means you are already aware of my idiosyncrasies and my rather bad habit of rambling on and on about a subject that has no real relevance or contains only partial importance to which you feel strangely drawn into listening yet quietly thinking, "What does this have to do with my life?"
But wait, now I feel I have to sensor myself. If I know that my friends are reading my actual thoughts, it brings up a new dilemma: What if Tammy discovers that I do have loads of time to write to her in Thailand but that I've just opted to be lazy in my correspondence because I...well, I don't really have an excuse.
And what if Hetsie learns that I'm not actually the fierce, intimidating leader I portray on a weekly basis in our financial class?

All valid questions.

But, then, I realize that you all know me for my authenticity and overtly honest manner. So, I conclude, that this is a "safe space" to be myself and comment on what is really going through my mind.

Let's all take a moment and be thankful that I've resolved to go ahead and blog. It make sense since, you know, I just worked for a few minutes to set one up!

OK moment over. Moving on.

Right now, the only thought I have is that I wish youtube carried more episodes of Corner Gas.

I know...deep, isn't it?

I'll keep you posted as to whether or not any deep, witty or spiritual thoughts should drop into my mind.

For the King,
Allie
