As a first-time, inexperienced, rookie 'blogger', I am rather mindful of what I say on the internet.
By this, I don't mean that I'm incredibly scared of pouring out my darkest, deepest secrets, I mean that I have little to no clue of what most people blog about, and consequently, I could (and most probably am) doing it all horribly horribly wrong.
However, I am not COMPLETELY without knowledge of the internet/life in general. And one thing I have learnt to dislike is when people delve too deep, when people make meaning out of meaningless things.
For example;
Today, when asked the incredibly deep and abstract question "Would you rather be a lonely whale in the ocean, or an ant with plenty of co-working friends, yet slaving all day and night?"
I answered "the whale...duh."
The asker then continued on to pseudo-psychoanalyze me in the only way that previous literature students can, creating allusions to past historical events, and saying how my decisions mirrored my 'deprived upbringing during childhood' etc.
WRONG.
The REAL reasoning which went on in my mind before answering the question;
Whales are blue.
I like blue.
Therefore, I like Whales.
Problem solved :D
