This is all Garr’s fault. If I knew his casual bickering with Rachel would result in a daily blog assignment, I might have tried to bribe him into agreeing with Rachel, even if it meant knocking over an ATM to come up with the bribe gift. The argument was stupid, too: Which makes for good writing? “Read, read, read” or “write, write, write?” Garr said: “write,” and Rachel said: “read.” Garr didn’t back down, so the rest of us are now punished. And I wasn’t even involved, and if I had been, I’d have been neutral, for both are important to me for different reasons. I am whining, I know.

So here I am, unable to sleep because I have to find some time to fit this punishment into my daily routine. If Garr wants me to write more than I already do to satisfy Rachel’s revenge, then I have a haiku for him:

I can give a name
to my latest spring quarter
anxiety: Jeff.

Seriously, I do not have the time to fit in more writing on things I’m not mentally invested in. Okay, correction: I do have time, but I’m not willing to dedicate it to this. I have been writing and working my ass off on other things, and I do not like taking time out of my writing time to appease Jeff’s humor or its backlash (which I should never have been a victim of, if you’ll pardon my continued whining).

I’ll admit, the argument was cute at the time, but this is not what I need right now, nor will I pretend to be at ease for the sake of maintaining an illusion of agreeability. I protest and detest the results of Jeff’s and Rachel’s disagreement. From this blog forward, I will sign in to post a daily: “I was here” and the time. I feel no further obligation to write any more than a simple salutation, because I can promise that I am writing plenty. Furthermore, I do not feel I should have to prove it in a blog—especially when I refuse to post my daily writing for the public to view. My writing process is my own, alone. I will not compromise the time I spend on my own writing to write some worthless drivel here, where, as I said, I’m not mentally invested. –end rant-

On a serious note, though, I will probably write more than just “I was here. [insert time]” in my later blog posts; I’m just being a pill about it. And on the off chance that I don’t have time to write something substantial, then I probably will only post a one sentence blog. Yeah. That’s all I got. I’m gonna try to sleep now. Good night!
