Yay friends...

In the past I have thanked and encouraged the people in my life to be honest with me, and sometimes brutally honest. For me, if my friends could tell me anything, ( and I do mean ANYTHING) that meant that not only, did we feel comfortable with each other, but that also meant that somewhere deep down inside, whatever my friends told me I already knew...

For example, if I were to be wearing ugly shoes and my friend were to mention how unappealing they were, I would have to agree, because I would have already known that the shoes in question really were just really crappy shoes.

However, because of a recent chain of events, I have begun to question my own trust and confidence in my brutally honest friends.

Is there a line that one must draw in the sand of friendship that we cannot cross? Or am I just reading to much into statements? All of this thinking really has me thinking and questioning the friendships which I hold so dear.

Is there such a thing as a pure, undying, tell each other everything, hold nothing back, tell each other their faults friendship? Or must we all learn when to be brutally honest and when to tap dance around our friends sensitivities?

My First Blog EVER!

So it is now 2 a.m., there is nothing on t.v., my book is complete, and no one is online... So what am I doing up?

Your guess is probably as good as mine...

With nothing else to do, and with no intention to sleep, it must be a great time to get this blog thing off the ground. Which, to be honest, I have been dreading...a little bit.

Why fear writing a blog you ask? Well people of the Internet, I do not intend to change the world with my words. I do not intend to dazzle people with my wit, and I certainly do not feel that blogging is my claim to fame. I have, however, felt a familiar wave of nervousness for the last week when I wanted to start an entry. Questions popping in and out of my head....

"What will be my blog about?"
"What point-of-view should I write my blog from?"
"Should I end all of my blogs with a question? Or is that too much like a certain Sex in the City Journalist?"

So here I am... 2 a.m., writing my first blog entry... EVER, and I do not care. So perhaps that will be my hook. I will just stay up until there is nothing else to do but blog...

I doubt it.

So whatever my hook will end up being (if I ever get one), I can always remember that my first blog entry was written while I was sitting at my desk, in the dark, at 2 in the morning, with Chris Rock telling his jokes about strippers... now if that just doesn't want you to go out and scrapbook, I don't know what will.

Perhaps it is time to sleep .... just maybe
