Apparently poking around in the internet and discussing criticism isn’t popular and can lead to (incorrect) accusations of defamation and all that kind of thing. Which sort of proved my point about why we don’t criticise, but I digress.
So I give you a list of things I could have written about instead.
1 – Kittens. It’s the internet and we need a good dose of kittens. Just because I don’t have any kittens of my own should not stop me talking about them. Even better? Kittens with rainbows. And maybe a unicorn. Can we get a kitten spewing sparkly unicorns over here please? I think I need one.
2 – My hearing, or the lack thereof. Isaac had a hearing test last week and passed with flying colours, so he’s definitely autistic and not just a bit deaf (duh). The issue is, I didn’t hear any of the low tones during the test. Hearing tests for everybody!
3 – The Mummy Bloggers Blog. You know I’m working closely with Louisa to run the Mummy Bloggers Blog and I’ve had a few posts go up over there? No? Well, now you know. You should subscribe to us.
4 – Elephant. Or specifically, the fact that Klout says I am an influencer in the field of Elephant. I blame Isaac and his ability to count to Elephant and the Elephant we apparently have on the roof. I keep telling him it’s just a duck, but no, apparently things that thump around, quacking, on the roof are Elephant. (For the record, he hasn’t read the hippo on the roof book.) If you want to talk about elephant, I am your girl.
5 – Apples. I don’t know why, but I could have written about them. I like apples. Especially when I cover them with golden syrup crumble.
6 – The garden. My apricot trees are dying and I’m not sure if they just don’t like the bathroom (possible, I hate the bathroom too) or if something else is happening. However, my purple cauliflower is doing rather nicely, even if it’s not actually looking cauliflower like.
7 – How meanies on the Internet ruin it for everyone and community spirit is dead and can’t we all just get along (won’t someone PLEASE think of the CHILDREN?).
I bet I could have written about lots of other things too, but I might save them to actually write about.
What have you been not writing about this week?
***
PS: This is post number 900. It feels like I ought to have streamers and balloons falling from the ceiling or something, rather than a list post.
***
PPS, I have button advertising just about to run out on my sidebar, so if anyone is interested in advertising with me, let me know. Click through rates have been very good.
I’m not writing about being laid off by e-mail. Would that be mean of me?
@rachael Laid off by email? Now that’s low. As for writing about it, it’s only a bad deal if it may affect your future employment prospects.
I’ve been not writing about disappointment and the realisation for the need for change. Perhaps soon. Perhaps.
And hey Veronica, if your posts were to become too kitten, unicorn and rainbow oriented I’d stop reading. I like a little controversy. It makes me – us all – think. X
Oooh, I want a kittten! Actually two! Can’t wait to move house…
What am I not writing about? Lollipops and rainbows, even though we did see a very nice one a few days ago (rainbow that is). And about how annoying I find nay-sayers… I will do this my way, somehow… And about feeling left out at times, not that I necessarily am, just feeling that way….
Get your hearing tested!
I’m about to dive into the world of Thesis, do you have an affliate link I can use to make purchase?
In meantime I’m happy to read *anything* about thesis, self hosted WP and SEO type stuff.
I think I might not write about the weather.
It’s cold here – but warm somehwere else – so I’m thinking it might be confusing.
So no weather comments from me.
(-:
Rainbows, kittens, unicorns, zombies. All would be better than trying to be nice and open about things. Don’t ever say what you think, say what you think people want to hear. I would have thought you’d learned that by now!!? Maybe you should go to blogger school or something? Is there a remedial education course for wayward bloggers? If not they should create one just for you. You’re a bad, bad, naughty blogger. xxxxxxx
I kind of get the feeling I missed something? Any hoo, I do love a good list, and this one gave me quite a giggle. Nothing like a varied assortment of ideas to get you thinking!
Who or what is Klout? And why are they so important?
I’m not writing about my aches and pains, I think everyone has had enough of me whinging about a little ache here and there. I’ll just scarf down a few extra panadols and get on with it.
I want a kitten, but not if it’s going to spew out rainbow coloured sparkly unicorns. Glitter is so hard to get off everything.
Klout is like a twitter influence measurer. OR it’s something that makes you laugh, because Elephant? SERIOUSLY? http://klout.com
Glitter is terrible stuff.
I want to know why you and Brenda and all of the other cool kids are influential in the good stuff. And I got toothpaste and plastic and cheesecake. None of which I have discussed on Twitter, FB or my blog. Who the hell do I have to sleep with to be influential in something interesting?
Elephants – that still cracks me up!
Hmmmm. No I probably wouldn’t read if it was all unicorns, fluffy things and sparkly stuff. I do like rainbows though . . . 😉
Apricots are deciduous, perhaps your little tree is just going into its dormant phase?
Congrats on post #900!
I don’t write about more than I do write about, if that makes sense! I am too afraid of upsetting people. I wish I wasn’t but I can’t help myself!
I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU ARE AN ELEPHANT EXPERT AND I NEVER KNEW!
PS: If life was all happy-clappy rainbow spewing I think I would really barf. I like that you keep it real.
xx
I’m not writing about the cool stuff or anything controversial, because if I was, somebody might actually follow me! Therefore I’ll check what you guys write about and copy that – of course I won’t but I’ve gotta find something somebody might want to read! But I definitely won’t be writing about rainbows, unicorns or glitter. My family and friends wouldn’t recognise me if I started with that namby pamby stuff and they will kick me out of the Cynical Club.
I’m not writing about much at all, being in an introspective phase just now. Oh. some poetry, but it’s not for public consumption.
If I was writing, I’d like to write about things like dealing with tough topics with children (the latest one I’ve copped is almost-8-y-o declaring “I wish I wasn’t white!” after learning about some of the dark history of the invasion of this continent and North America). How do you acknowledge white privilege and the devastating past, while not damaging a child’s sense of self and creating a burden of guilt? I’m not sure, but if I get my writing chaps back anytime soon, I’m going to blog it out.
I’ve not been writing about Harper weaning because I’m in denial!
Congrats on 900 posts xoxo
The hippo on the roof book is awesome. It was on very high rotation in our house a couple of years ago, but we never got into the sequels.
Yay for post 900 – are you planning a big party for number 1000? 🙂
I have not been writing about everything. Ha. Top THAT. 😉
