Addictagram.

That’s not even all of them. I upgraded my old iPod with a new (second-hand & a ridiculous bargain) one that had a camera JUST so that I could Instagram, it’s a true, if sad, story.

So eager was I to play that I jumped right in with some seriously bad pictures taken in terrible lighting that I didn’t even like myself & then I thought “Well this is pretty crap, actually”. I even said as much, grandly declaring “I don’t like Instagram!” to anyone that would listen… but then I went back….

Oh. I. Love. It.

I’ve taken more photos of the kids lately than I have with my camera for ages – at this precise moment, I don’t even know where my camera IS. It’s so easy just to grab the iPod out of my pocket & take a snap. It’s fun. It’s inspiring following the tags to other #dachshund #baby #country #breakfast #vintage photos (…not together mind you, although, that would be an interesting photo…) & it seems more personal than twitter but it’s just as fast, as Bianca said, it’s like blogging but without all the words…. we all know a picture is worth a thousand of those anyway.

So, if it’s too quiet over here & you’re wondering what I’m up to, you know where I’ll be.

Forgive me blogosphere for I have sinned.

I have been having second thoughts about us, blogosphere. I have been thinking that not only might we need some time apart, we might have to break up altogether.

It’s not you.

It’s me.

I was thinking that I didn’t love you anymore. I was thinking that it couldn’t work out between us. That your eye would wander to more creative blogs. Prettier blogs. Better blogs.

I was thinking that I would concentrate on what has been making me smile lately & let you go completely. I was REALLY thinking that.

And then… I started listening to one of the CDs I got in my swap. A CD from Cam.

And I loved it. And I love Cam – in a not at all creepy, platonic, she’s a crafty super-hero type of way – and damn it… I love you, too, blogosphere. Without you, I wouldn’t have the CD I am bopping to. I wouldn’t have the gorgeous friends I have met, in person & in spirit & I wouldn’t have had the confidence or support to take the scary leap that is Geek Amour in the first place.

I’m sorry.

Forgive me?

Instagram has also been distracting me from your charms, blogosphere. I tried to resist, truly…!

If you’re a twitter type, I changed my name there too, to @GeekAmour, and I like it, but some people are CONFUDDLED! Poor people. They’ll get used to it.

But how are YOU? Are you blogging it up or feeling blah too?
