Sappy Ode to Heather
Wanna hear something funny? And by funny, I mean -- totally gay? When we were in high school and doing "Brigadoon," during rehersals, we would change the words from "Heather on the Hill" to "Heather on the Pill." Tee hee! Get it? Cleverness.
We also changed "Jeannie's Packin' Up, Jeannie's Movin' Out" to "Jeannie's Shackin' Up, Jeannie's Puttin' Out," but since there wasn't actually someone named Jeannie in the show, it wasn't as funny as the Heather one.
Anyhoo, yesterday, I finally finished transferring all the archived posts from my LiveJournal account to here, and tonight, I'm taking Heather to a thank-you dinner. Because, seriously? She's, like, 95% of the reason I even have this site.
And isn't it pretty? I'm finding it even harder to work lately because I just like to sit and stare at my site. My pretty, pretty site. Sometimes I just coo and fawn and caress the screen.
I've always loved writing and have always dreamed of being published, but since I usually wrote for an audience of one or two (including myself), it was always more of a fantasy than an actual goal. Besides, how could I ever figure out what one thing to write about when I have so much to blathering to do?!
But then, 10 years after the rest of the world got on board, Heather introduced me to the world of blogging. So I poked it with a stick and said, "What blogging? Look fun... Me like!"
It was also Heather who encouraged me to start my own site. And by encouraged, I mean did all the research, presented me with options, registered my domain name, designed my site and taught me how to use it.
Yeah, she probably went a tad beyond encouraging.
And once my site was up, I realized that this is possibly even better than being published (NOT THAT I'D TURN IT DOWN!) because it was never about fame or fortune for me. This way, I get to write all the time about whatever I want! And I know people are reading cuz I get feedback!
This is really more of a dream come true than a hobby. So, thanks, Heather! And thanks to everyone who indulges me by stopping by here once in a while! It may be just a two-minute break in your work routine for you, but it means more to me than you know.
