Hello, Old Thing

Ringggggggggg.....Ringggggggg

Hello. How are you? Have you been all right, through all these

lonely

lonely

lonely

lonely

lonely nights?

I am a cruel mistress to this forgotten, sad-sack of a blog. Our relationship is sporadic, insufficient. Have you all forgotten this as well?

I think I wrote a post awhile ago and it never posted. Such is life.

There is rain on the horizon. Perhaps a downpour of words in my own future, but I think I'll stop making false promises.

YET - with school gone (and with it all excuses for writing scholarly essays on old musty books) and all my current writing centering on grants and program descriptions and budgets, I feel a new surge of affection for my sad, old friend.

Dig it? A happy comment or two might brighten my blogging spirits! (this might be a problem unless my one devoted reader has cheated on her Lent promise...)

if a tree falls in a forest...

I am tentatively, nervously sticking my big toe in the deep, icy pool of the blogging world once again. It stings, but I might just dive right in...

The last time I wrote, I was happy for warmth. Now, in Nashville, I'm happy for cold and autumn. What have zebras done without their blog to entertain them? Probably lots of neighing, galloping, and grass-eating. I must issue a grand apology to the creatures, and begin again with the one blog on the web designed for zebras ONLY. dig it.

i am a newborn zebra baby

the warm spring air finally seeped in through the thawing cracks in my cocoon to awaken me from my hibernation.

it has been such a long, long winter.

perhaps, inspired by wordsworth and my 70-degree-induced bliss, i will begin using this medium for a more philanthropic purpose (that is, donating the joy of my real thoughts and feelings to the world via writing).  

or maybe i'll just post more pictures of zebras.

this is not a zebra.

sexy. kiss!

WATCH OUT!!!!!

there is a zebra loose in athens...

this blog is suddenly popular again (because i asked adele to comment and somehow aaron miller got the message too) so i have been inspired to update.

the purpose of this post is to promote my favorite-ghost-hunting-show-that-i-forgot-about-for-6-months-but-suddenly-remembered-again--paranormal state.

i can't write too much about it, because i'm not an egocentric blogger freak who posts large blocks of text and expects everyone to read them even though they are so aesthetically unappealing i could puke and never have anything much of interest (hello, i only read wwtdd.com and gawker.com. they keep it short and sweet for me).  i'm also not staging my own disappearance as a lame publicity stunt (aaron miller is a sham who comments on EVERY single one of adele's posts but ignores the zebra blog for weeks at a time).

anyway i'm watching this paranormal state episode about a ghost who kills animals and moves trucks and is genuinely badass.  they think it's native american.

also, i'm facebook friends with ryan buell, the main paranormal state guy. someday we will make facebook love (though he CLAIMS he is "in a relationship" ... check out that sex appeal). 

their solution to the horse-killing, growling ghost was to plant a fruit tree on the property--a sweet offering to appease the spirit....... ugh how much does this show kick ass?
