I was playing Guitar Hero today, the first one. I acquired it a couple of months ago and I realized that I had never played the first one, just dabbled in some of the newer versions without thinking about it. Well, I was playing through it today. I generally play on easy because I suck. I got all the way to the end in the career track. I should have been excited (You will learn soon that these sort of things tend to excite me). I was not. I had watched my roommate, Mel-Cat, play the day before and she got at least five more songs then I had. That was because she played on medium. The game told me that I had reached the end and listed all the cool stuff I could get if I was good enough to play on medium. I did not think that was fair. I still wanted to play so, against my better judgement, I tried the very first and presumably the easiest song. I did fine. So I played the next. I stopped at three, because I didn't want to push my luck, but I was smiling because I could play on medium.
Now a week ago Mel-Cat asked me, if she were to start a blog, would I start one too. I told her yes but the first thing that went through my head was: What the heck am I going to blog about? Nobody is going to follow me. I am boring. Who wants to read about an overweight, poor, college kid who wants to be a writer. There are plenty of boys and girls out there that want to be writers and I bet a lot of them are so much more interesting than me.
I thought there was no way that I would be able to hold anyone's attention.
But today I got through that song on Guitar Hero, on medium, and I thought there was no way I could do that. It made me think of what else I might be able to do if I tried. This is sort of what this blog is going to be about, other than writing. I am going t to post about new things I will try. Things like crafts, cooking, baking, other art stuff. I will post writing progress, ideas, poems, excerpts and any other random accomplishments. I am done sitting around and letting all the trying get done by everyone else. I, Leelee, a moving up to medium.
Congrats, friend! I knew you could do it (although I didn't know that I was sometimes called Mel-Cat). I like your premise and I promise to be annoyingly encouraging by yelling "Move up to medium!" whenever I think you should be a little more daring :)
ReplyDeleteDrat, now that you've gone and started a blog, I suppose I'm actually going to have to see to mine.
I am one of those people that believes in doing the impossible if you try and I am glad that you are making yourself this silent promise to do so! Hey, maybe we could move it up to Med in Dance Central? (when ever I get)

Not so much on the dance central hot shot.
