now i’m figuring it out. slowly.

I’ve had a blog for a whole week! Woo hoo. I’ve tried to write something for the past few days but not actually ended up writing anything.  That means I’ve clicked on the link in my bookmarks, looked at my blog’s 3 whole posts (or is it 4?), thought about writing, and not even tried.  One thing I’ve learned in writing classes is that you have to try. You have to physically write something down, anything, or it doesn’t count as trying.  And when you write something down, it’s a start, and usually ends up provoking something else that you like.  You can toss what you wrote in the first place, but you won’t have what you ended up with if you never started with anything.

 

I’ve been reading a blog by this girl who’s doing the Peace Corps in Mali, just so I can get an idea of what it will be like there.  I would send you the link to her blog but I’m not sure what the etiquette is like for that.  Also have been reading some blogs through blogher, where my mom works.  It’s crazy how many different things people do with blogs.  Some people seem to tell about their lives using lots of pictures and then explaining the pictures.  Some blogs are a set “100 days” or something so people can keep track of a challenge or idea.  Some people write about their art, or new music, or politics.  Here’s some more music for ya:

 

 

This was discovered by Jake, a guy I danced with in the Househedz project at school.  The song came on randomly when Micah, our DJ, was playing some stuff while Meida (choreographer) worked with us on some new material.  For the rest of rehearsal, all we could say was : and I’m Carolii-iii-iine!
