Keeping Up Appearances

Blogging’s very nice and all, but it’s sort of like smoking. You can’t just do it every now and again, and risk being referred to as a ‘social blogger,’ someone who only types out a few hundred words to make themselves look cool. I’ve committed now. I’ve written some fascinating stuff about my toe, and now I’m stuck. Nothing that dramatic has happened to me in the last week, certainly nothing to rival the excitement of a right good stubbing. I didn’t realise until I’d started, but the keepers of the blog have all sorts of ways of keeping you hooked. Instead of nicotine, they have ‘blogger stats.’ These take the form of a graph indicating just how cool and interesting you are. The line peaks beautifully when you write something, then zooms back down into loser territory within around three days.

I must be honest. This is merely my miserable attempt to make my graph peak. I hope it works. More than that though, I hope I find something good to write next week.
