I don't think I'm a bad blogger but sometimes I am a bit too lazy to blog. This list is an updated of a similar list I posted on my previous blog and it's not ordered in any way. Why 59? Because the previous list is 49 but that probably doesn't explain it so I guess I don't know why 49 or 59. (Also, because I'm lazy, I'm using the same art.)

Fiction: The Girl in the Closet

~ ~ 01 ~ ~
The closet is Ida's whole world. In this small space, she has everything she needs and wants. And if it isn't there, she would close her eyes for a moment and open them to find it right in front of her.
    Today, Ida notices the noise outside her closet is different than before. Even though she tunes them out, she is accustomed to the many footsteps, various voices, the fast and slow shuffling of all the movements all around the house. Today, the noise have lessened, as if there are less of them.

The Blogger Freakout Tag

July 17 is the 3rd anniversary of this blog you're reading so I thought I post a couple of posts to celebrate with all things blogging. Here's the first one.
    There is a tag call the Mid-Year Book Freakout Tag going around the web with questions about books but nothing about freaking out but I like the title. Inspired by that, I made this question list which I titled The Blogger Freakout Tag but I'm not tagging anyone. According to Dictionary.com, freak out or freak-out means to lose or cause to lose emotional control from extreme excitement, shock, fear, joy, despair, etc.  Feel free to answer 1 or 2 questions or all of them in the comments or on your blog.

~ The Blogger Freakout Tag ~

01 - When you first started your blog, did you freak out and worry you might fail?

02 - If you share something (on your blog) and then regret it, do you revert (to draft)/delete/remove that post or just leave it? Or do you just freak out, calm down and then pretend it never happened?

03 - Have you ever been freaked out or offended by a reader's comment or a blogger's post?

04 - Do you freak out/get annoy when a blogger leaves short comments that are generic or devoid of any relation to the post? (ie, nice blog or good post)

05 - If you cannot access your blog (ie, because of web glitches or wi-fi not working), do you freak out and try to fix it somehow or do you just wait patiently until the problem solves itself?

06 - Does it bothers you when a blogger changes their blog's direction/starts behaving like a new-to-you blog with nothing like the posts you are used to seeing?

07 - Does getting comments (on your blog) makes you giddy?

08 - Was there a time you had freaked out when you made a mistake on your post, ie, got some information wrong or said something that you really shouldn't?

09 - When bloggers overshare (on their blogs), do you get annoyed or happy that they are willing to share even the most intimate of things?

10 - Do you sometimes freak out (in a good way) when you get new readers?
