i’ll tumbl for ya

I don’t truly know what a Tumblr is, but I have one:

I was told that Tumblr is “blogging for hipsters”. Okay, I can do that – I blog and identify as some sort of hipster (which, to be honest, is an incorrect categorization – I am not a “true” hipster, just a hipster offshoot) so clearly it would behoove me to claim my Tumblr space before someone (say, a snippy night elf priestess ranger goblin mage) decides to take my name and do unspeakable things with it. I am quite capable of doing unspeakable things on my own, thank you very much. I don’t need any help from a usurper.

I’ve been nosing around some Tumblr sites, and from what I’ve seen, it would appear that hipsters enjoy pretty pictures with no big stupid words being all uppity. So, I’m trying to follow suit: my Tumblr blog will feature pictures with short sentences. Basically, things that are too short to warrant a post here will go there (until I get bored of it all). I’ve got some posts up. Go look at them. They are very short and mostly pictures and will not tax the brain because hipsters totally hate that.

This morning in the shower I had an idea for a *book*. Like, not just a rambling blog post but a true story that has a beginning, middle and end. I’m thinking about giving it a try – people have told me in the past that “omg you should totally, like, write a book!” and I snorted and laughed because honestly I a) don’t think I could do that and b) doubt anyone would read my words outside the safe confines of this e-space, but .. well, I have an idea. One of my goals in life is to be published somehow, and if other people who are far more boring than I can write books, maybe I can too.

Would you read my book if I wrote one?

There’s a raspberry seed stuck in my tooth. Perhaps this is a sign.
