Thursday Thirteen.....#1

1. I thought I would join this Thursday Thirteen thing as a way to force myself to write more instead of just posting pictures. Anyone who knows me knows that I am not really a blog writer. I have difficulty with long posts.

2. I have absolutely no idea if I am doing this right....I'm supposed to link back to the site and add technorati tags and there are dire warnings on the site that state I will be removed if I fail.

3. I have Attention Deficit Disorder....no really I do. It makes following complex directions a disaster. I avoid "some assembly required" AT.ALL.COSTS! This is the reason the Thursday Thirteen directions become gobbledy gook in my brain.

4. I fear that undertaking this Thursday Thirteen thingie will be too hard for me. I mean I have to think about thirteen things to write once a week. That's haaaaaaaard. I'm only on four right now for crying out loud and I am already getting whiny.

5. I am going to give it a shot though. I am going to try. I figure I will do the thirteen things, go back to the website, read the directions again and try to do the links right. If I get it wrong I am sure some nice person will calmly explain to me what I did wrong without making me cry.

6. Rule #1 for the blogroll states
"You must be a TT Regular. Seems odd, we know, but you should have a few weeks under your belt and intend to stick around."
What exactly does that mean. Do I not link to the blogroll if I am not a member? Do I just do the Thursday Thirteen without linking for a while and then try to link?

7. I suppose that I could skip this Thursday and contact someone who knows what they are doing and have them explain this better to me. I mean, geez, I understand the concept it's just the rules that get me....but I have already written so much it seems like a shame to waste it.

8. Don't all these rules kind of take the fun out of this???

9. I don't know how people think of so many things to blog about. I read other people's blogs and I envy their ability to be able to write about anything.

10. What if I am boring....I mean I have a hard enough time writing as it is.....will forcing me to write result in boring drivel that no one wants to read because....

11. ....frankly, I can understand why people would want to look at my pictures.....

12. but I have a hard time understanding why someone would want to read what I write.

13. Look...I have already made it to number 13 just expressing all of my Thursday Thirteen anxieties. Now I have to go back and read those dang direction and hope I don't get banished for time and all eternity.

(*disclaimer* This is meant to be a bit tongue and cheek...although I am subject to slight social anxiety at times, I am not quite such a basket case.)
