"I'm embarrassed I gave you the idea in the first place," says my ridiculously handsome brother, Joe, who enjoys taking random math classes on the weekend. I brag on him all the time.
"But why?" I say. "Blogging is fun. It's a fun hobby. I'm sorta famous, ya know."
"Do you want to be really famous?" he says.
"I don't know. What's in it for me?"
"Never mind. It's probably not a good idea."
"Alright. Alright. Tell me how I can get really famous. Now I NEED to know. Tell me on a need to know basis."
"Vlog."
"Vaaaa looooog?! ...You mean a video log? On U-tube? Do people really watch those things?"
"You'd be surprised."
"Huh."
"You have a dynamic personality. People would watch you."
"My girls asked me to drop them off at the library today. All by themselves." (I have a short attention span and often change the subject without
"That's good."
"Is it? Is it REALLY? Letting them free to roam all those IDEAS? In BOOKS? WITHOUT SUPERVISION?? I don't know that it's responsible. No RESPONSIBLE parent would allow it! Mom used to drop ME off at the library for HOURS when I was their age. AND LOOK HOW I TURNED OUT!! I'LL NEVER BE RESPECTABLE!...
I was reading Flowers in The Attic at the age of 12. Serena is 12! History repeats itself."
"What's flowers in the attic?"
"Oh nothing but a lovely little book about a mean grandmother that locks a brother and sister up in the attic for many years. They become incestuous."
"You should vlog about that."
"About incest? I feel weird talking about this with you."
I'm seriously considering considering the vlogging craze. What do you think? Is it TOO somethin'? Should I be worried about losing credibilty? (In case I ever had any?) I can't decide. I like to entertain. So.

PS I was invited to a swim party last night. So I wore a suit. I put a white wife-beater (I look good in those) and a romantic, short-ish emerald green skirt over the suit. I looked all beachy.
I was THE ONLY adult who wore a swim suit. THE ONLY ONE! I was the only harlot with exposed shoulders in the bunch. Everyone else was in JEANS and tops.
The women had on about 4 layers of tops. HOW MANY SHIRTS DOES ONE WOMAN NEED, FOR PETE'S SAKE??? The men had on collared shirts... some of them wore parkas and ear muffs and scarves. TO A SWIM PARTY!
What is this about?! When do adults lose their sense of wonder and start showing up to events focused on WATER fully clothed. JEEZ MAN!
