Why I never post anything funny

So, maybe I should just start posting all of my comments to other peoples' blogs HERE, so that I actually have some content on my blog instead of spread all around the interwebs.

Response to Tuesday's post "Hawthorne Blogging" on http://prettybabies.blogspot.com/:

OMG dude! totally!

no wait, strike that. let's see. what's in right now? how about...

i know, right?

{hm... wander off to check my top 15 blogs, knowing i've seen the ", right?" phrase on at least two posts in the past week, but needing to know which posts and were they on two different blogs or just one person, and was it someone COOL or just someone amusing? can't find it.}

{try to think of a good pun. can't.}

{try to dredge up a psych reference to play off the title and related comment. can't.}

{consider writing something completely transparent and vulnerable about my insecurities. decide against it. too insecure and not established enough yet as "cool". must be "cool" before being vulnerable or else i will look like a whiny... jerk.}

{spend 4 minutes deciding what level of cursing i want to use, knowing that my real identity and blogger ID are currently still safely separate, but worrying about 10 years into the future when i'm famous and someone figures out the connection and then all my damned motherfucking foulmouthed bitchy shit gets connected to my mild mannered real life self and ruins my reputation. decide not to use the word bitch.}

{spend another ten minutes trying to come up with a sentence that would include extra periods, with extra points for the phrase "best. something. ever." unable to do so, go back and insert commentary about swearing that i didn't do. include curse words for comedic effect. hope that people 10 years from now believe that it's an amusing anomaly and nobody assumes I curse like a sailor. stop after every subsequent paragraph to come back here and angst about whether or not to delete that part. }

{spend 2-3 minutes deciding whether to leave curly brackets, which were a typo originally and which i don't particularly like, or replace with my standard square brackets. decide to add a sentence about angsting about brackets as well as words. }

{give up on being cool, but still want to leave a comment.}

Right on, Amy!

{worry about whether i'll come across as too familiar by using the blogger's name. consider that she makes her name public and angst about the fact that there is no cute web nickname to substitute to make it less intrusively personal.}

{decide it would be totally stupid to even post a comment if i can't say something interesing, but want to post SOMETHING about this topic because i've just realized that it's the real reason i practically never post anything. i'm too afraid whatever i say won't be cool enough.}

PS....Hey Amy, I AM pregnant. Do I get to use that as my excuse?
