Ok, so I am kinda burned out. I can't think of anything to write about. There is nothing going on right now that I can write about.
I have been very afraid of this day, I don't want writer's block, I can't have writer's block, I want to post something, I want to make a good contribution to the blogging world.
Even the comments I leave, I feel, are lacking. There is just no more spunk or sauciness or what have, you let in me. I just can't find it. I think that I may have lost it.
I have a friend that is extremely funny. I mean every time that I see her, my stomach aches because I have been laughing so hard. She seems to never have a dull moment in her life. The stories she tells, like her son trying to rip off her nipple or how her son is confused about girls and boys and thinks that she is a boy with a "pee pee" or when she sat on the toilet seat and it cracked in two, are hysterical but I can't blog about that. They are her stories, I couldn't do them justice.
I told her that she needs to blog but she just looks at me like I am nuts. She says she doesn't have time. Whatever, there is always time for blogging.
I could write about how dirty my house is but I have done that. I think that every one knows that I HATE to clean. Beside, the filth is getting a little ridiculous and its verging on embarrassing. I am going, no I need to clean it tomorrow...maybe.
I could also write about how sad it makes me when I don't get any new e-mails or comments. I mean I check all the time, like a gazillion times. I just love you all and I want to know what you say and think. But I can't post about this, I think it makes me seem to needy and insecure. Which I 'm not, no I am totally cool. I don't need comments or e-mails, whatever it cool. (Thats not true! I need you, I really, really need your comments!)
See, I don't have anything to post about. Maybe there is something wrong with me. Maybe I am getting sick? Maybe I am tired (no maybe about that, I am tired). Have I lost my skill? I just can't have writer's block. I can't!
*sigh*
I'm done. I will stop my pity party. I am off to read my new book, I think that some of you may know it... Twilight by Stephanie Meyer.

At times I find myself jealous of people like your friend who always have a great story to tell and tell it so well. I'm just not that eloquent and my life is just hoohum most of the time.
I feel ya on this post - I'm at a loss of anything to write too!
I was thinking of reading that book too! Quit being so hard on yourself. Your posts are funny, entertaining, and honest. I love to read your blog and it is okay once and while to take a break from blogging (do I dare post this statement?!). Relax and enjoy. The posts will flow when they are ready.
Ah, another one coming to the darkside and becoming a Twilighter. Enjoy the books!
Don't worry about the blogging and commenting funk. I do that from time to time too. That is exactly why I did a hot seat last week to get me over my hump. So let me ask you a few questions:
What are you afraid of?
What makes you laugh?
What is your hidden talent?
Where is the most exotic place you've been?
What is your favorite meal to eat?
What is your favorite meal to cook?
Why do you blog?
OMG, I can't believe you have the book! I just this minute wrote a post about Twilight...scary.
Don't worry too much about the writer's block, it happens to everyone. You probably just need some rest. Why don't you take some random pictures of things that make you happy? Might help. Or from the sounds of it, you are probably going to get sucked into this book, and we won't hear from you until you finish it. Just don't ruin the ending for me...I still don't have the book!
Sometimes you have to just blog through it and inspiration will come shortly. This advice brought to you courtesy of the girl that only posted 8 times in July! (: I'm such a perfectionist that I have all these stories to tell, but I don't want to do it half-way so I don't do it at all.
Re: the comment-addiction, have you read the series of posts about blogging by Debbie at This is the Life? You should check it out, she explored the whole comment-love phenomenon in depth and I promise, you are NOT the only one who checks repeatedly!
Ya see, that was a great post in and of itself, just expressing your true feelings without a funny story or schtick. And we're all still here. Blogging is no longer fun when it has to be a chore and you have to be "on" all the time. Most of here like to hear just about the normal. A lot of people's "normal" inspired me this week. You'll see shortly in today's post.
I love your template, it (along with your writing) makes your blog quite a lovely place to be! I hope you get over your writers block soon (though writer's block made for a pretty darn entertaining post) and post again soon, I enjoyed it!!
I think you and I had the same day yesterday. Well, other than Twilight. I have read and re-read that whole series so many times that it is very embarrassing! You did so much better than I did, at least you actually still posted something. Sometimes a good nights rest will change everything.
I think we all get in ruts. And then there are people who seem to have hilarious, inspired blogposts on a daily basis...I can dream to be so clever and witty!
Hope today is better:)
Oh you'll get your bloggy mojo back in no time I'm sure!!
I'm right there on the blog-block. Perhaps it will pass. Perhaps we can just read until it does pass. Or not.
