Hello. I’m PaperMichelle.
I have been patiently waiting for just the right time to post my very first blog. I thought I would wait until something uber-inspiring came to me, then like a water balloon from over the fence, I’d drop it upon the unsuspecting blog-o-sphere and immediately be launched into internet fame.
Not so.
I think the appropropriate first post should be this: an introduction and explanation of exactly what this blog will be, though I’ve not totally defined it. Like any journal, I intend to write about the things that strike me throughout any given day, but this won’t be willy-nillly commentary on life. You don’t care about that…you already have that blog in your head.
This will be a running collection of things that make me go “Hmmm,” cirucumstances that make me laugh, food that makes me full, lyrics that make me cry, images that put colors together in a unique way…because these are the ingredients of my inspiration. (Wow, that was a cheeseball line. You’re welcome/I’m sorry.)
My blogging motivation comes down to this: I am extra-super-crazy sensitive to all things, meaning that the most mundane things often affect me in a ridiculously profound way…and why shouldn’t they? They are often the most beautiful and the most hilarious. Frankly, couldn’t we all stand to be less harsh, a little less serious, a little more in awe? Appreciation of the world around you makes it impossible to be indifferent and indifference is lame…not to mention a huge inhibitor of all things creative.
One final note: if you’re so early 90s that you caught the C+C Music Factory reference, do yourself a favor and give that track a play. Your day will improve exponentially.
XOXO, Michelle
