Overthought..

What do you put in your first blog post, when you’re trying to start a comic-narrative blog?

I started thinking about making it about me, who I am and situating my audience into my life. Then I started thinking that it wasn’t interesting as a first post, the first post should blow people’s funny bones off – Addiction at first post. But then I started thinking that if I start at the top where do I go from there? Then again, I’m thinking that I’m putting way too much pressure on one blog post and quite frankly I’m thinking that I am over thinking.

*Breath*

I often live way too far inside my head and terrorize myself by over thinking.

About 2 weeks ago I got a notice that I had a parcel to pick up as of next day. As I had not ordered anything, I was overjoyed, someone sent me a gift!

Perhaps my friends finally noticed my Amazon wish list! A gift! For Me! Oh my!

Then I started thinking, there’s no decadent amounts of snow outside so it’s not my birthday, and I haven’t been especially nice to anyone lately..

What the hell is in the package?

It’s from Ottawa. Oh my god. That’s where our government is. I’m getting sued. It’s a registered letter, the government is suing me.

Shit.

I passed from gift, to lawsuit, eviction, living on the street, eating gross soup. I don’t want to eat soup, I hate soup!

I called my mom pretending to be calm, telling her about a parcel and how curious it had me, and like always, in her somehow soothing sarcastic mom tone, she told me - Weren’t you waiting for your new passport?

Oh.

So there it is, I over think.
