To continue from where I left off( OH NOOO)
Here's a list of possible names to choose from. . .
They wil get more extensive. (Even after I've made the final pick(God-please God)
1) Blog-esbord(like Smorgesbord). Corny? Well, it's still on the list.
2) Commitmentphobe. It flashed through my head. Don't know why. Still reading up on it(is interesting), but can't, for the life of me remember why I wanted this. Maybe because of the 'whole commiting to projects' line. That's probably it. Well. I'll bet Blog-esbord is starting to sound better. Or not. Whatever.

Blog fever
This is actually old news, but, my friend and I recently started a blog together(all her idea, I just gladly, and wholeheartedly agreed). In French. We talked things over, we came up with a few ideas( I added all of the things that had, at the time, more or less taken over my life- crosswords, word puzzles, etc). We gleefully arranged plans for sleepovers(actually singular-one night),to push our little plan into action. We were set. All set. Right after we named ourselves . . .

seriously, annnnnytime now. . . .
. . . .
Alright. I won't bore you with details,(We've actually talked about this on our blog- our first entry ladies and gentlemen)but,and this is quite ironic, apprently, the content isn't the trickiest part of a blog. You see, I was under the rather misguided illusion that the hardest part of having a blog like this would be keeping it alive, keeping it going.
Why, you ask?
Becauuuuuuse, it's in French, for starters( Hey I'm still learning).
Becauuuuuse, as my past records indicate, I have an incredibly low commitment level to these type of exciting, wonderful projects(check the date of my last post all here, it'll tell you). Actually, to any kind of project.( To be absolutely honest, for me, that probably still is the hardest part -have written a total of one blog so far, and even then, can only claim co-authorship).
Because, because, because...the reasons go on. I digress. BASICALLY, in all of this, I hadn't realised the content wouldn't be our only worries. I hadn't thought of it at all actually. I don't know. Maybe I thought it would be a cakewalk(HUH!) I was clearly wrong.
Why?
Because, as our HOD thoroughly enjoyed telling us, 'nobody's unique'. Yes, I hear the contradiction in that statement. In this case, it's EX-tremly true. Long story short - finding a name that was truly ours? Not so easy my friend. . .
We did find one though. Eventually. And found a way to make it our own(in our minds anyway). In the end, not to sound cheesy, but, it was worth it. I truly believe that what we picked in the end was best suited for both us, and the blog. Still, the process- phew, don't get me started. Who knew a name would be such a big thing, right? Well, at least that's over. . .
. . . . Errrr- except, now that I'm trying out the whole blog thing again, I'm not really sure I like this name- the one for this blog(who am I kidding- it has to be among the top ten DUMBEST ever). So. We begin again. We're back to naming.
*clutch hand to head. Dramatically*
*Bang said hand and head on nearest hard surface. A table will do just nicely*
