Real Blog Titles from Awake/Blog, the Blog of Amber Himes -or- Why Blogs Are Mostly Shit

Happy Birthday to April, The Prologue
The prologue?  You have enough information about someone’s birthday that it requires a prologue?

Seth’s Birthday…A Month Later
Yeah, good call.  Wouldn’t want to reflect on Seth’s birthday right away.  After all, if April gets a prologue, the least you can do with Seth’s birthday is to make sure the entry is well thought-out.

Nieces and Bubbles
If I ever describe an afternoon this way, kill me.

It’s called a Stream of Consciousness. It’s Therapeutic.
It’s called being passive-aggressive.  And it sucks.

I’m supposed to be doing laundry…
But guess what I’m doing instead?  Nothing like the blog about how you are supposed to be doing something else, but because you are soooo bored and willing to do ANYTHING else, you will share with us a blog entry.  It’s the equivalent of going to someone’s party and saying, I wasn’t going to come, but I was so bored that anything was better than sitting at home.

I wanna go outside.
If only they invented computers that could take me there.  Alas, the technology to move outdoors just isn’t here yet.  But soon…

Snow?!
Yes, a blog about the current weather.  Nothing more interesting than that.  Especially when someone goes back through the archives, which we are all sure to do.

The State of the Amber
Finally, what we all came here for, serious, straight-forward talk on who the hell this lady is, how she’s doing today, and what her plans are for the future.  I bet it involves taking a peripheral relative to the zoo.

A deer outside my window
Unless this is followed by the phrase, “Looked nice, but then I could tell he was zombitized and he came crashing through a window and died lapping up his own blood” I’m not interested.

Kylia Turns Four!
Can you believe it?

Nieces on the move
What is with these nieces?  Who cares?  And why don’t they just call them “Nices.”  Wouldn’t that be, well, nicer?

Shane Daniel Spotts Enters The World
Hmm, a birth story.  Gosh, I sure hope the time, length of labor, and size of the baby are included.

Welcome to the world, Adelyn Elisabeth Schrenk!
How many baby announcements are there going to be in here?  They have a whole section of the newspaper devoted to this crap, which I prefer.  It’s easier to ignore the whole newspaper than to filter what I get from the internet.  Show some consideration.

I Think I May Have Caught Something
I can’t wait to hear about it.  And I can’t wait to hear how you sucked it up and went to a party anyway because you, “Weren’t contagious anymore, though still feeling ugh!”  Why do people say that?  You know who’s not contagious?  People who aren’t fucking sick!  That’s a pretty good sign that you’re not contagious, and even that’s iffy.  Besides, how would you know?  You were dumb enough to get sick despite your tremendous knowledge of human disease, so how it is you know so much about getting better?

Looking back on this week
Nothing like a little reflection.  Those five days really give you perspective on going to the bank and then having a minor encounter that makes an entertaining story once and gets stretched into a tale retold enough that people start telling you it’s like a Curb Your Enthusiasm plot just to get you to shut the hell up.

The Snow That Didn’t Melt
There it is.  Because we wouldn’t believe you if you didn’t tell us.

Tucker, The Ridiculously Cute Puppy
How is a cute puppy ridiculous?  I would say a cute old man is ridiculous because there’s nothing inherently cute about old men.  But a puppy is always cute.

New Music Discoveries
I’m ready to have my mind blown.

A Bible study series on DVD to check out
Finally, all the piety of Bible study without the hassle.  It’s like my prayers have been answered, and in DVD format!

The Cold Dark Tunnel: It’s Licensing Exam Time!
Studying for tests makes for fascinating conversations AND blogs.  Tell me all about it.  How many classes did you have this semester?  How did they all end?  Were the assignments well-spaced and proportional to their grade weighting?  There is so much more to know.

Photos By Adalie, Age 4
This must be so cute.  Especially when her greasy kid fingers smears kid grease all over the lense and all the pictures of the floor and one corner of the window have a Crisco filter effect going on.

Slideshow of Aunt Helen’s 90th Birthday
Oh god.

Massage School: Day One
Haha, I should have known.

A Four Banana Night
I actually read this entry.  Not nearly as interesting as I was hoping.

Another New U.S. Nickel
Fascinating.  Talking about money, more specifically, nickels.  You know, the coin from that saying, “Nickeled and Dimed?”
