We Should Talk...

Hey guys,

Don't think I'm not aware of the 4 month blog silence.

I've been kinda uninspired by this medium.

This fall was pretty tumultuous and maybe I was too wrapped up in my nonsense to really put work into writing.

I've been cheating.

The truth is, I started a secret Tumblr page several months ago.  I don't know what my deal was, other than I just had some thoughts I wanted to say anonymously.  For the first time since I can remember, I've felt the need to keep myself and my thoughts a bit private or maybe just separate from myself?  I've been wanting to say things and process things but not necessarily under a snarky heading or with animated GIFs to accent.  So I started this secret Tumblr to post all of the things I find too annoying to let people I love read.  I'll let strangers find my rantings and yearnings obnoxious, eh?  The Tumblr is not linked to my name at all, although there is a non-identifying photo of me in its banner.  It is also entirely made of posts of poetry, or lists.  Some of it is really fun and silly, and other postings are heart breaking and wrought with way too much emotion to take responsibility for.

I hope someone out there reads it and finds it funny, sad, well-written, and annoying. 

 In that order.

Discovery.

Sometimes, you mess around on Google and find things like this:

Mingtastic: a girl that is a minger, therefore very ugly but has a nice personality......


                   i.e. "Dude, that lass is so mingtastic." 

which brings the insurmountable curiosity to therefore hunt for this:

Minger:  although now more commonly used to define an extremely visually challenging appearance, the word minger originally came from scottish gaelic, meaning 'septic vagina'.  Now often used by chavs all over Britain to define anything remotely disgusting.  


The common woman would scoff and feign indifference while silently fuming, unable to contain her resentment.  Well, I refuse to be such a woman.  Therefore, I will employ my 'nice personality' and embrace this.  Hell, it's hilarious.  


SO embracing am I that I have thus changed the name of this here blog.  I have been thinking about it for a while, but hesitant because I felt like I had to have some consistency or something dumb like that.  No more, I am running with my girlish whims.  


May I introduce my same old blog with a new name?


Trip the Light Mingtastic.

of course, taken from the phrase and song 'trip the light fantastic'..... meaning to dance nimbly and lightly.  My version?  To trip the light Mingtastic is to dance like Mingni.  Wildly, flailingly, and as much as possible.

To all you Scotts, that's dance like a 'Septic Vagina'.  take it or leave it.
