Oopsie, where have I been?

Well, it's a long story, involving a social life (no, really--this is not a work of fiction!), a pesky rhinovirus, two Etsy shops, and a few long days at work. I've been up to my ears in friends, snot, appointments, and my job(s). I'm pretty sure I have a husband running loose around here somewhere, too... he's probably buried under the pile of dirty dishes in the sink.

Add a dash of laziness, and you have a recipe for a thoroughly neglected blog.

But never fear, because I've been inspired! Invigorated, even! Word around Blogland is that NaBloPoMo is being resurrected--this time, you post every day in a given month (not just November). Each month has a theme, and March's theme is "lists." It just so happens that I am a list-making fiend, so beginning March 1st, I am going to clog your RSS readers with so much mindless drivel, you'll be begging me to take a vacation. To Pluto.

Also, apparently it's Valentine's Day, or something? What? Huh? I admit, I completely forgot until late this morning, when I was already buried under piles of work. Oops!

T & I agreed to postpone our romantic celebrations until this weekend, at which point we'll go shopping for new floors. Home ownership is sexy. You want more hardwood, baby? How about some vinyl tiles? Ooh yeah, let's negotiate a three-way with the contractor. I like it like that.

Oook, I've obviously been away from the blog for far too long... I need to work on letting the crazy out in little bursts.

Ok, so here's the obligatory, "I'm only doin' it for the BloPoMo," post.  Look, I don't intend to miss a day this month, but this stuff is rough for someone whose blog presence is normally sporadic - usually I post once a month, once a week at most. I'm not used to thinking this much, and it hurts, and what's that smell?  Oh, hey, my brain's on fire.

In the meantime, here's a list of my recently-starred entries from Google Reader:

Cadbury kittez - lulz.
Monster Factory @ Cutable - I'm a sucker for strange plushies.
Unexpected Guests @ sfgirlbybay - I want to hire her to decorate my house.
Ffffound! - never lacking for visual inspiration.
Kapow Jewelry @ Indie Fixx - love love love, and I don't even wear jewelry!
Feelin' foxy @ Modish - a nice diversion from the birds/deer motif.
Petit Four @ Little Splurge - allow me an ultra-girly moment to say, I heart lip gloss!

What's the nerdiest thing about you?

"Nerdiest" would imply the one, most nerdy thing.  One?  Just one thing?  Well, okay. 

Hi, my name is Sheara! I'm a 60 Undead Priest and a Blood Guard of <Grim Determination> on the Earthen Ring server.  For the Horde!

Need I say more?

Other nerdy facts about myself, because just one nerdy fact does not a good blog post make:

• I've had an online journal/blog/personal Web site since before I hit puberty.  To me, Web design is an artform.
• I use a Mac, and I like it.  No, I <3 it.
  
• I went to a special high school for nerds called the Maine School of Science and Mathematics (alternately known as the Maine School of S & M).
• I graduated from university with a degree in New Media.  "New Media" is Latin for "nerd".
• I've been known to abuse the emoticon.  :)
• Lists.  Lists everywhere.  Lists about anything and everything, as long as it's a list.
• Megapixels turn me on.
• And finally... I'm spending my lunch break writing this instead of eating lunch.  That pretty much sums it up!
  

A first post.  What do I say?

I'm attracted to Vox because it reminds me of my iMac... bubbly, all  bright colors and point-and-click good-ness. Vox is kind of like coming home.  Ahhhhhhh.

In contrast, my life as of recent doesn't feel bubbly.  The photo to the right is more reflective of my state of mind at this time, I suppose.  Things are downright dreary, for a number of reasons, most of which being a sudden inability to cope with life, and all its many conundrums.

But how can I write about that here, in this cheery kindergarten-colored blogosphere?  Where I'm greeted in bold, smiling letters: Hi Caroline!  Where I'm encouraged to "write and share", where I'm asked, "have you connected to anyone lately?"  How could I bring my problems here, to happy-land?

So, I'm afraid this blog, as it were, will not amount to much more than fluff.  Fluff might be a welcome change, at this point.
