commitment (k-mtmnt)

n 1: the trait of sincere and steadfast fixity of purpose; “a man of energy and commitment” [syn: committedness]
2: the act of binding yourself (intellectually or emotionally) to a
course of action; “his long commitment to public service”; “they felt
no loyalty to a losing team”

I’m a little commitment phobic, in that I’ve always
been someone who likes to take things one year at a time because as we
all know, a year can change everything in your life.
~Debra Messing

I don’t have a car payment. I don’t own a house; I rent. The only jobs I’ve had have only required one year contracts, even my current one. I’ve lived in three places in the last two years. I don’t have a boyfriend. I don’t have a pet. I don’t even have a freakin plant. But, I do have a blog.

It’s a lot more commitment than I was expecting, you know? I wonder if a blog will replace the plant in the whole scenario of “if you can keep it alive, you’re ready to date.” (it’s from the Sandra Bullock movie 28 Days, in case I’m the only one who knows that scenario)

So, I’ve not done a very good job updating the blog. I mean, I’m not terrible. I’m not Phillip. :) But, it’s definitely a responsibility I wasn’t expecting, and, seeing as though I’m so bad at commitment, I probably didn’t really want it either.

I beg you, please bare with me. This whole blogging thing is more than blogging, sort of. It’s hopefully getting me ready for that plant.
