I'm Too Sexy for This Blog?
Is my blog too vanilla?
A friend at work pointed me to a friend of a friend's blog, which I have come to envy not only because it is funny enough to have made me expel my allergy-compounded nasal contents all over my keyboard on more than one occasion, but also because this guy talks so candidly about things like his sex life and, well, his sex life.
Then I was just performing my nightly ritual of catching up on Gawker, Defamer and Fleshbot, and I come across this guy's blog, which - granted, he makes a living out of gay porn - is also filled with entries that make my blog look like a turtleneck jumper next to his crotchless leather hotpants.
My blog is about getting married.
I talk about hotel availabilities in Provincetown.
My Comments sections are filled with girls either urging me to stop spamming their bridal website or girls encouraging me to attend their electronic quilting bee.
Should I be talking about my sex life? My proclivities? My turn-ons?
The short answer is no.
The long answer involves 1) the fact that one can only have a sexy blog if one has a sexy, somewhat anonymous blog; 2) the fact that wedding blogs are, by default, not sexy; and 3) the fact that I have already shared my blog with my friends, my sister-in-law, office-mate Judy, my therapist and - because I am sadistic and misguided - inevitably, my mother.
More cake, anyone?

It's okay, sooner or later my blog is going to turn into a wedding blog--that is, assuming I can ever get over my anxiety disorder enough not to feel terrified at the thought of marrying my boyfriend--and then we can all be vanilla together. I'm already much, much less interesting than I used to be. I used to write about going to orgies and the snacks the hosts served there. Now I write about how my dog is having surgery. Lo, how the mighty have fallen!
But you totally have to tell me who my friend is who turned your friend on to my blog.
Faustus, M.D.
But by that point, my blog will be the baby blog and I will only have anything in common with the gals IndieMOMs, who will still not be talking to me from that time I spammed their website and sneered at their peppermint cupcakes.
Speaking of which, they serve snacks at orgies? Home-baked? Pre-wrapped?
I don't know if I can tell you who referred me, my blog world walls are already slowly caving in.
I'm going to use a rather graceless format for my comment, because it's (excessively?) thorough.
1) I was wondering about the anonymity thing. Faustus was anonymous once. I notice you black-barred your eyes in the wedding photo. My blog started out as a comprehensive site about my professional and academic endeavors, such as reading and teaching. Now I write about...
2) My cat, my dog, what's going on outside my window, and my boyfriend whose name is also M.! Pfft!
3) Junk, I forgot this one. Something about how it's weird you commented at me while I was reading your blog (fuh real).
Congrats on the wedding! I will be reading more and learning things about people like us doing things like that.
Roy
I love your blog. Don't change a thing.
