Ok...so I guess I DID prompt you to read this second blog post (if you read the first one) so....
I only recently had the cable and internet turned on at my house. I had been going to the library (a 3 and a half minute walk from my house) to use the computers there to do whatever I needed to do online. Yes, online banking included. ...Don't worry...if anyone DID hack my stuff they have probably already been called by one of my debt collectors.
So yeah, I am super excited to be able to kill brain cells at home now. Between TV and the collapsing black hole that is the internet I really feel that I'm leaking brain cells from my earholes at this point. And I don't have that many to waste! The programs on TV are SHAMEFUL. I am soooo glad I don't have any kids. If I did I'd probably be that weird dreadlock-wearing, no-armpit-shaving, organic, smelly-hippie mom. TV sucks. I'd ban it from my (child-rearing) home. I kinda want to ban it from my house now...and it's just me and Chris. So sad.
And the internet is SO much worse! I barely trust MYSELF to use the internet...how do people raise kids these days knowing that the kids probably have looked at more porn in the first 2 years of their teenage lives than THEY did in the first 15 years of their VHS renting heydays? Wow. I guess I'll have to cross that bridge when (if) I get there.
I digress. I suppose the point is, the internet CAN serve a useful purpose; and hopefully, I'll be able to utilize the marketing and promotion aspects of it. But only if I can stay away from youtube and failbook long enough to get anything done.
Sidebar: this blogging thing is so odd. Everytime I'm nowhere NEAR a computer I've got a running commentary with myself concerning EVERYTHING. Once I sit down to do the whole "writing" (and yes, I did airquote to myself just now) thing I go blank! I need a little parrot who I can train to ride my shoulder all the time. I'd just say out loud all the things I think throughout the day and when I am ready to write I'll let the bird repeat it all. Or maybe a tape recorder. But people who take notes in tape recorders are weird.

So how long will this hold my interest...
Well hello. I am truly new to the world'o'blog, seeing as I've never even READ one until now! I know...step into the 90's girl. It's ok, I accept my technological shortcomings. So after reading my bff's new blog (lhejtmanek.blogspot.com), I am taking the plunge.
Step 1) think of something interesting to say.....hmmm. I know what's interesting to ME, but what might interest the rest of the English-speaking world (besides porn, of course...and I have yet to figure out how to upload videos to this so you're s.o.l....for now! hee hee)? I suppose a little about me? OK cyber-stalkers take notes: Currently attempting to put my decade-old fine arts degree to good use by working my booty off making new paintings and drawings to sell either off my website, http://www.shelliethies.artspan.com/, (I know I said I was technologically disabled, however even a blind mouse will find the cheese sometimes), or Saturdays under the bridge at the Riverside Arts Market. I've just recently finished applying to be able to participate in RAM so hopefully I'm not counting my chickens by saying that. In the unlikely event that they reject my application, I will be across the street from RAM in the parking lot demonstrating my first amendment right to free speech by waving hate-signs and screaming obscenities at whomever will listen to me. Not really. But I will be peeved.
Also notable about my life is the fact that I have recently started volunteering at the City Rescue Mission, aka the local homeless shelter. I actually have wanted to do something like this for years, but only recently have stopped procrastinating and gotten the preliminaries completed on that. I was surprised at how involved the process was! The aapplication process (yes, application process to work for free) took 7 weeks, they actually CHECKED my references (that's more than I can say for the last job I had) and there's even an interview! But whatever, I'm excited to finally be helping out the community at least a little bit.
Hmmm...so I realize upon sitting here typing this that I am way more interesting that I thought. So far. Or maybe I'm just like the other 7 billion people in the world who think that THEY are the absolute most interesting thing on the planet. I believe that's called "hubris". Oh well. At least my latin is awesome. (see what I did there?)
Anyhoo...Im certainly not out of things to say yet (see above), but I'm running out of time on the library's computer (see next post) so I'm tatah for now.
xoxoxo
