(omg! She's writing about not being able to write! LAME.)

I'm currently suffering from Severe WannaBe Writers Block.

I sat down at least 5 times yesterday to write about such things as "my husband taking the coaching of city basketball WAY too seriously."

"The planning of The Passion Party and how my friend suggested we should serve "Weenies and beans" and how she was completely serious and not even aware of how HILARIOUS it was that she suggested "WEENIES" for a party about and for weenies."

"me getting served at the gym last night when a little old lady put me to shame by lifting 10 pound weights with ease while I struggled with my 5 pounders and how I kinda wanted to kick her where babies come out for making me feel bad about myself even though she was just doin' her thang."

"Connie Chung. (Ok, and also Maury Povich.")

"when I told a certain comedian friend of mine who shall remain nameless that I put a little weight back on, his response was "Lose the weight. No excuses. Not fucking one. Lose the weight" and how I wigged the HELL out and went all "typical woman" on him and started to cry because how dare he not comfort me and offer me a virtual (*(*(*(*HUG*)*)*)*)"

And I sat here for hours, unable to put any of those things into a coherent post. And then I lost my shit, said a lot of "F" words and called my computer a bitch. I felt so bad because, seriously, is it the computers fault? IS IT? Of course it isn't, so I apologized and we both cried a little because it's not anyone's fault.

WannaBe Writers Block happens, man. It just happens.

Even when you're writing about not writing, you're hilarious!

LOOK AT YOU... That ended up being a good post.

We all go through times like that, I can relate.

I HATE when someone just says "loose the weight" like it was just that easy!!! SHIT I am about 30 lbs over weight and I stuggle day to day, go up and down like a yoyo. At least you are on the path, keep it up....That's the key. Right now I am PMSing and I will crush anyone who crosses me like an ant!! GIVE ME CHOCOLATE!!

Dude. I started feeling like a writer when I just up and decided to CALL myself a writer.

So here's the deal: you're funny. You're a writer. Own it.

Dude, I hosted a passion party about a year and a half ago. We served, champagne and brie and other pretentious foods, but weenies and beans sounds a hell of a lot cooler. But get LOTS of alcohol, y'all will need it.

Oh, don't you worry. The liquor will be free flowing, as will the multi purpose cream that numbs buttholes AND is great for teething!

Posted by: Y at June 22, 2006 12:33 PM

My computer and I have cried together before too...

Why not post the video of the WORM!!!

Maybe you need a writer's enema? Then you could write about the results like Dad Gone Mad did about his results....

You're not alone! I have a whole entire catagory in my blog for "Writer's Block" material. But I only have like 6 (though very special and loyal) readers/commenters. Sometimes nothing funny or exciting happens worthy of writing about, and I want to spare those readers from the brain that is really mine and is bitchy and boring at times. So instead I just write something silly in my "Writer's Block" catagory. Shhhh! Don't tell them I'm bitchy and boring sometimes, k?

"Is it the frank or the beans?"

"Franks and beans!"

Posted by: mikey at June 22, 2006 02:43 PM

Fish tacos? Did someone say fish tacos? Hello?

Posted by: Amy at June 22, 2006 02:57 PM

OMG! Amy! Fish tacos and Weenies!

(p.s. You want to come? You can come, I totally meant to send you an invitation.)

Posted by: Y at June 22, 2006 03:01 PM

I hate it when that happens. I've taken to carrying a notepad around with me and writing down ideas and saving them for when I can't think of anything to write.

Posted by: RachelS at June 22, 2006 03:30 PM

No Passion Party is complete without a little Sex on the Beach.

Posted by: Jenny at June 22, 2006 04:14 PM

I totally know way too much about Wannabe Writers Block. Ugh! The agony!

Posted by: Suburban Turmoil at June 22, 2006 08:50 PM

so, is pork-n-beans the same as weenies and beans?

i seriously cried from the connie chung thing. and then i sawed my ears off.

Even when you despair about your writing, you write so well!

Make sure your P Party consultant brings clean toys(by clean I mean lint-free), and 1 use-only sample thingies. The party I went to was unhygienic, and I had to leave. I'm just sayin'!

Posted by: demondoll at June 22, 2006 09:23 PM

Umm. I forgot what I was gonna say. That last comment... EEEEEEEEWEWWWWWW! Yeah. 1 use only sounds like a plus...

Posted by: daniel at June 22, 2006 11:06 PM

Ummm, I'm from England - what are weenies? By the way, LOVE your work!

Y,

The Beginning Runner's Handbook: The Proven 13-Week Walk/Run Program. The program in this book will ease you gently into running if you follow it consistently and in moderation. It's working for me.

Hester,

weenie, n. 1. See hot dog. 2. See penis.

"Wannabe Writers Block". Yep, that pretty much describes every day for me. Glad to see I'm not alone. Well, not glad per se but, well, you know what I mean.

(See? I totally can't write anymore!)

Posted by: buzz at June 23, 2006 04:26 AM

Dude, if you do not serve fish tacos at your passion party, preferably in taco shells you have meticulously coated with pink food coloring, I will never speak to you again.

writing about not being able to write is bad

....
that maury clip was HO-larious (hee!). I watched about 5 of them. It makes me feel grimy inside, but at the same time I just laugh and laugh.
Connie Chung's farwell hurt me though. Ahhh. She was doing it to be funny, but if you can't sing, keep your sketches about not singing under 5 min, okay Miss Connie?

And just why will we be numbing buttholes at this party? Will you have a separate room for Try 'n Buy?

Posted by: FlippyO at June 24, 2006 06:38 PM

I second what the first couple of commenters said. You actually did write a post. It was a great post and you are a writer even if you think you aren't.

You rock! I come here because you are real and I have a bit of voyeur in me. Don't we all? We get to peek into each others lives. Just keep writing what you want. Don't try so hard with the weight. Just watch what you eat, play with the kids and it will come off. No buggin' either! Stress is a downer.

Posted by: Jolie at June 25, 2006 09:04 AM

Oh my god, I am humping your new design it is so hot.

Posted by: Tuckle at June 25, 2006 03:24 PM


um, is it almost time to be able to write again?
just wondering.

Posted by: tiffers at June 26, 2006 11:06 AM

    About Y
    My name is Y, but you can call me "Jesse's girl." I am an Aerobic Dancer and have mastered many moves, but the one I am the most proud of is "The Monkey." I have three kids. ALL FROM THE SAME DAD (Because, did you know someone actually asked me that question?) A 15 year old son, a 11 year old son and a 4 year old daughter who was not planned but who is loved more than words could ever express. I am addicted to Starbucks, reality TV and to getting really good deals through coupons and "club member" savings (Please, respect The Costco Card.) I am extremely competive and if you don't believe me, just ask my husband about the time I sold him out to win a game of Taboo. If you're waiting for the part where I speak of my love for walks on the beach or slow dancing in the rain, you're going to be disappointed because my idea of a good time usually involves things like "burping contests" and "doing The Worm".
