Blog #2

First of all, I would like to say thank you to Sarah and Hunter for mentioning my creepy story in their blogs. To the other half of the class, my story was about a teenaged boy named Jacoby who was obsessed with stuffed animals. In the end, his mother turned psychotic and adopted them as her friends when Jacoby left for college. I was honestly slightly worried that as a first impression, you all would assume I had childhood issues. I became invested in my tragic plotline. I even considered making Jacoby have an obsession with torturing his stuffed animals, but that was a little too much even for me to handle. As a method of procrastination, I watched an episode of Arrested Development (I want to marry whoever writes the script of that show –it is hilarious) and while he was hiding out in the attic, the family’s father, George Senior, starts talking to dolls when he sits them all down for tea because he was lonely… I was inspired.

Anyway, that was totally off-topic. I actually just read an article on CNN about Larry King’s interview with John McCain’s daughter who apparently has a blog of her own, titled “Bloggette” (www.mccainbloggette.com). To be honest, I enjoy reading Perez Hilton’s blog (www.perezhilton.com) and the whole concept of blogging has always intrigued me. I’ve hysterically considered dipping my mind into the experience, but then I remind myself that aside from maybe my family out of pity, no one would enjoy reading what I have to say on a daily basis. Who genuinely enjoys reading other people’s frequent, random rambles? Even Perez gets old, because once a blog takes on a tone, that’s what the reader is stuck with. So if I happen to be in a slightly thoughtful mood, Perez actually saddens me. But I guess that is the whole point of blogs, to instigate emotion and ultimately a reaction.
