Mel’s Life

It’s truly amazing whenever I get Clint to go along with something. He’s fairly stubborn and usually just ignores any request - like the time I insisted I would only answer to the name Rusty Shackleford. So I’m quite surprised to be writing my first post for my own separate blog. Last night I told him that he should just move my posts to another site and for some reason he didn’t like the idea. He never really fully explained why he was against this idea though later he mentioned that he thought I wasn’t planning on posting anymore. I really just wanted to separate our blogs because I frequently want to post something but find that he has just made a post and I don’t want to bump his down - and I know he has the same problem. There’s also the fact that many people who read his blog either don’t know me or don’t like me. People who don’t know me can get straight to the Clint posts without wading through mine now - which I think works better. As an added bonus, people who don’t like me really have no business reading my blog (unless they just want more reasons to dislike me) and I can now say things that might offend them and they shouldn’t ever have to read it. If they do read it, it’s their problem because, hey - they have no business reading my blog. Of course, there is a very slim chance that I will ever write anything of that nature. I just want that option.

I’m creating a new paragraph here because Clint gets onto me about not using paragraphs. This is not the correct place for a new paragraph, but the fact that it’s incorrect makes me happy - so new paragraph.

After talking it through for over an hour, Clint finally agreed to my plan of separate blogs. Once the decision was made he told me that he had been wanting to separate them too. If this is true (I have no reason to believe that it isn’t) it means that he either forgot that he agreed with me, or decided to argue with me just for fun. This is what I have to live with. But it all ends well because here I am with my own spot and I can put up my own links for things I like (like Elliott Smith) and things I don’t really like but read about anyway because it helps (like emetophobia - that’s fear of vomiting for those that don’t know). So now I’m off to clean so that I can work on some sewing project. I’ve got some nice boucle that I think I’m going to make a nice spring jacket out of.
