Rabbit Rabbit Day

So word is officially out. I bet EVERY SINGLE ONE of my subscribers is going to friend and follow and... add my feed to their feed... list things! Nah. I don't think that's even what I'm hoping for. I just... felt like I should put that out there... Whatever.

Anyway, tomorrow (or today for me, anyway) is Rabbit Rabbit Day. I've been celebrating this holiday since I was a wee one. My sister and I got it from Nickelodeon, back when it was really cool, and they had those animated things that talked about holidays like Thanksgiving and Memorial Day. Rabbit Rabbit was one of the holidays. It's the first day of every month.
What you're supposed to do is make "rabbit rabbit" the first thing you say that day, and then you get good luck for the rest of the month!
Hope you all remember!

Get in the habit

I think I'm going to be ready to tell people about this soon. I just need to get in the habit of posting regularly. I feel like my hobby of writing has disappeared since technology took over everyone's lives. Writing "takes time" and isn't an "instant product". I miss it. I used to want to be a writer. I still do. I still believe that I will publish one book (but probably several, or at least I hope so) in my lifetime. What happened to the days of creating stories and characters and whatnot?
In my last entry (I think), I invited anyone who reads this to show themselves. What I can gather from the results is that I either have very lazy blog readers, or no one reads this. I am guessing the latter, but the former is quite possible, considering I have already experienced some internet stalking from my subs. And I don't mean that in a mean way. But that's the best word for what's happened: stalking.
This age (era) really freaks me out. There's a big part of me that rebels from anything connected to this age of making everything ridiculously easy and simple. But then there's another big chunk of me that finds so many of the products of this age very fascinating. I prefer phone calls over texting and emails, but I am doing this video project of "21st century pen-palling", and I'm struggling to justify my participation in my mind. I haven't come to any conclusions yet, and I continue contradicting myself.
I was a really good speller in elementary school, but now that computers are constantly correcting us, I've realized that my brain has started letting computers do the work, and I'm forgetting how to spell stupid things. It's very annoying.
I want to make it a goal to write more often. I want to make up stories and plot lines. It really scares me how much I have forgotten about writing. I don't want to be overtaken by this era of short attention spans. I think it's possible to get the best of both worlds.
Anyway, I just wanted to say hey to all of you.
And now, I'm saying bye.

What's Stuck In My Head:

Leavin NY

I want to make a video of the preparations I'm doing to be able to leave. And I want to play Leavin' On A Jet plane on the guitar. I already know the chords; my fingers just need to learn to change faster. I don't know if I can learn it by Tuesday, though.

Took a spill on my scooter today. NYC sidewalks were not made for scootering. My wheel got caught on something, and I took a tumble. Ripped the one-of-a-kind leggings I was wearing. A damn shame.
