so today i was on gmail chat with nate, my older brother. he told me he's been reading my blogs and i suddenly felt a little worried, or embarrassed, if you will. so i asked him if my blogs were drivel and he said no, as he is pretty much obliged to say. i didn't know why i felt so insecure all of a sudden about my blog... but i think i have found out, and i'll tell you!
sibling rivalry.
plain and simple.
i was looking at simon's facebook profile (my younger brother) and i saw that he was updating his blog. then i read his blog, and it's so funny and smart! i thought, shiiiiiiiit, i can't right like that! no wonder i'm so worried my blog is a complete bore! i'm comparing myself to simo. then i read one of nate's comments and realized that he's also pure genius... and we all know what a great writer claire is! nevertheless, i shouldn't be limited by siblings' cleverness. now that i've identified it as something so utterly juvenile as sibling rivalry, i can let it go. in fact, i can do more than that: i can be proud. proud that my siblings are so freaking brilliant. i wonder if it has anything to do with how great my parents are...?
haha.... and now i'm just being conceited.
regardless, if you are not already reading simon's blog, you should be. it really is a joy. he's truly hilarious.
the address is myspace.com/russellsimon
anyway, just spreading the word...
