perhaps commitment phobes should not start blogs?...

"perhaps commitment phobes should not start blogs"..this was my cousins repsonse to my telling an exceedingly long story about why i have not been blogging. perhaps he has a point. my pen was shaking (and by my pen, i mean my hand) when i signed my TWO YEAR contract and i have so far put off any other form of contractual obligation.

i think that our blog is like a plant. it has been withering from the lack of attention, but we are back and it is alive and well. in this commitment metaphor, i guess the next step would be buying a GPS (as opposed to getting a pet)...it comes at a cost, it requires attention and you are no longer able to go in any direction you please...suddenly it is a consultation. and then my dear friends, you might be ready for an actual living, breathing, talking person.

today i am blogging, tomorrow i may meet someone called bob who is an investment banker and yearns for a picketed (not to be confused with "picketing" which is incidentally infinitely cooler and for some sort of cause) house in suburbia with 3.5 kids....living the dream. (if you don't know me and don't pick up the sarcasm in that last sentence, then i would like to take this opportunity to point it out to you). i just googled "bob the investment banker"...and such a person actually exists. living proof that if you can dream it, you can do it *ahem*

rabs...you are the real star here...with your insightful anecdotes and tales of coming right that would make the authors of mills and boon blush. there is definitely a market for your talents. they are now writing erotic novels in braille. i told this to a friend of mine and her response was "why don't they just get the audio books".

AND...last thing rabs, don't beat yourself up too much about the fabulous men at the attic. there really was noone else exciting...apart from the drug dealer in the porsche who parked on the corner of the road like the badass joburger he is and whose idea of starting a conversation was "hey bitches, come here". he is the real star here.
