Stored Up in My Brain

Some time ago, a friend of mine (I probably call her 'Too') demanded to know if her suspicions about me were correct. She suspected that I narrated my life inside my head.

I guess it was a fair question.

Anyway, I don't. Narrate my life in my head, that is. I never have. Is it weird that I don't? Do you? Is it weird that you do? I think it probably is.

Anyway, I really don't narrate my life in my head. I mean, I'm living the life, so I don't find narration to be necessary, and that's the truth.

Sometimes comments are necessary, though. You know, comments in my head about what's going on around me. Since maybe everyone doesn't need to hear these comments, I keep them to myself. I think it's better that way. And no, that doesn't mean that I make mean and cruel and hateful comments all throughout my daily interactions. I make all kinds of nice comments, friendly and loving and precious comments even. So, there.

Anyway, narrating in my head is just not my style. What is my style? Blogging in my head.
Is this some kind of joke because I'm blogging right now? Nope. It sure isn't.

I think of all sorts of fun and exciting and wonderful blog posts that would attract ten bajillion readers to my humble internet abode. Well, maybe they would do that, but I can't be sure.

I always think of these fantabulous blog post ideas right before I fall asleep or while I'm in the shower or while I'm brushing my teeth or in the middle of cooking dinner or watching a t.v. show or chatting in my online class. I never think of these fantabulous blog post ideas while I'm actually blogging. It's becoming a problem. I'm starting to think it's possible that these fantabulous blog post ideas only sound so fantabulous in my head and that in real-life-blog-world they might be sub par, and that's probably why I'm always forgetting them. But, I guess we'll never know because it's highly unlikely that any of them will ever make it here.

Anyway, what I do always (ok, sometimes) remember are blog titles. Titles for posts I want to write. Not the titles to all of my fantabulous blog post ideas; all these lovely titles I remember and carry with me for a while before they, too, slip from the grips of my brain matter are for just normal, run of the mill, real-life-blog posts.

Since I carry these little gems with me for a while stored up in my brain before they evaporate into the heavens, I decided to do a project in an attempt to keep them a little longer. I also thought it'd help me with blog post ideas, ya know? I mean, a cool title could lead to a cool post, right? Right? Maybe, maybe-not? That's what I was afraid of. Oh, well.

So, back to my project. I decided to write these titles down. It didn't matter if they were titles for a possible post bouncing around in my brain or if they were just lone titles I thought sounded fun or weird or something. I think you get the drift.

Anyway, here they are. Maybe they'll pop up again sometime when you least expect it. Or when you most expect it. Who knows?
