*That* post...

Here it is. It's been coming for almost a month now. This is the post where I apologise for being such an inconsistent blogger of late, make vague reference to some real life "drama" or state that everything's "a little crazy at the moment", and promise you that sometime in the near future I'll rediscover my blogging groove and return to regular posting.

Is it just me or has there been a plague of these sort of posts flooding the blogosphere in the last couple of weeks? Has anyone else noticed? Is this an annual thing? Is there a sort of seasonal bloggers block that I'm yet to learn about in my blogging career?

I've been considering taking a month long haitus from blogging. I thought "I bet without the pressure of regular posting, inspiration will come flooding back". And then I realised that if I'm waiting for the block to go away, the pressure will come back, cancelling out any positive side-effects of the break.** There will be no haitus.

Anyway, without going into details (because over-sharing is so not my thing), there is drama. Big drama. In the next week or so, my life will either be completely smashed to pieces and rebuilt***, or nothing will change and I'll go into serious self-reflection and reevaluation-of-lifes-priorities mode, leading to lots of posts about my feelings. I'm sorry. It's just the way it is and there's nothing anybody can do about it.

In the meantime, I'm having a lot of fun "coping" with real life. Today I spent the morning eating cereal and watching iCarly and Sonny with a Chance (my favourite Saturday morning activity), took an icy can of Pepsi-Max into a long, too-hot shower (my very favourite pasttime), and then read almost 100 pages of Questionable Content and tweeted about the romantic tension between Marten and Faye (my new favourite time-suck).

I'm also excited to announce that I have an exciting announcement to make in my next post. I've been scheming, dreaming and emailing like a maniac for the last month and I've just about gone crazy waiting until I can share it with you guys. Just you wait! It's going to blow your minds.

* In lieu of an opening joke.

** Welcome to my brain: second guessing itself with unabashed fervor since 1992.
*** You'll know this has happened becuase it will mean the birth of a new blog. I've already thought of a name. No one can accuse this little blogger of getting her priorities out of whack.

Disclaimer: Any vagueness in this post was not only intentional, but brought me great amusement. The erratic nature of this post was less intentional, and more due to laziness on my part. I love you, and however undeserving I am of your glorious comments, my self-esteem still rides on them, so you should definitely leave me a message in the comments section.
