Joining a Community

True to my word I have done more investigating of 20 Something Bloggers and I have already found many more blogs which I'm interested in following.  I want to give them shout outs but as I've now added a blogroll gadget thing on the left it seems redundant, so instead I'll just show off my internet knowledge stuff (or lackthereof if I get this wrong) and say I love their faces.

There are two problems with this, however.  The first is that I now feel like creepy stalker guy because I'm new to this and don't want to make an absolute fool of myself by saying something stupid.  This is more of a problem because the original problem contains a paradox (and now I'll just say the word problem again for the general confusion.  Problem).  This most ingenous paradox is the longer I leave it before posting, the more profound and witty I feel it needs to be to actually be worth posting thus I am less likely to post.  This vicious cycle is not in itself paradoxical, I know, but it makes sense when you consider that a) my fear of not writing anything worthwhile is keeping me from writing anything worthwhile and b) I prefer to word paradox to contradiction.

The second problem is that it appears there is a huge history associated with this site and I'm getting information overload just looking at the forums and stuff.  I can already tell it is going to be a long process to properly come to grips with what 20SB has on offer by way of interaction, culture and general awesomeness.

Still these are both relatively minor problems for me, and I'm sure that in the fullness of time I will be a productive member of the 20SB community and contributing regularly to what happens there.


PS.  Yes I realise the paradox inherent in the content of this post, that I feel comfortable enough word vomiting my fears about word vomiting all over 20SB, but this is getting far too meta already so I'll let that one slide.

20 Something Bloggers Take 1

Well I'm now part of 20SB but it's probably going to be the weekend before I actually do anything about making the most of this.  This is due mainly to the weather which is the hottest recorded November day on record for much of Victoria which basically means it is too hot for my brain to work.

For now I'm just going to melt quietly in a corner somewhere.
