I've had writers' block for awhile. At first I imagined that this block started a few months ago when I was working two jobs and got out of the habit of blogging so I started posting pictures and surveys as a way to not actually have to write anything with actual content. After careful reconsideration I've realized that I've actually had this problem for the better part of a year and I'm not exactly sure what happened.

This may shock and amaze you, but I used to write things that weren't merely shameless public posts for attention and possibly sex and/or money the express joy of becoming part of a bigger world. I used to write lots of things. Catty reviews. Scathing essays. Letters to people---real letters with handwriting and everything. Granted, none of it was great. Especially not the handwriting, which is pretty atrocious. I sort of have serial killer handwriting, not because I'm overly psychopathic but more because I'm a much faster typist (100 some words a minute) and handwriting pisses the holy hell out of me.

I've tried to inspire myself by focusing on such topics as current events and scientific discoveries, but frankly my main line of thought on those topics seems to be that most people will jump to vast conclusions based on almost no information whatsoever. And while that's a hell of a lot of fun, it doesn't really reassure me that the human race is at all superior. Sometimes I think that if cats had opposable thumbs they'd suddenly gain the upper hand take over the world and we'd spend our lives working in catnip mines deep below the surface of the earth, out of sight.

The point of this whole thing is to say that I may seem stupider than usual lately, and to that I suggest that you inspire me by sending me money and free food. I think that might help. Failing that, maybe you fellow bloggers could just offer up some topics to help me stretch my brain a little.

(But really...food, ok?)
