A therapist once unofficially diagnosed me as having "Obsessive Compulsive Order". I have this dire need to organize by color, shape, alphabetically. It's true at one point I hung the shirts in my closet on hangers that matched the color of the shirt (black hanger black shirt, pink hanger pink shirt). It's also true that I once alphabetized the magazines on the coffee table of a waiting room. And yes I have a filing cabinet at home with hanging folders for various household paperwork.
So thanks to Claire, I have furthered my compulsion with my blog. I want a theme to keep me on track for what I post when. It'll also help when I am at a complete loss for what to post.
Monday - Trial and Error. I'll explain something completely new I tried over the weekend whether it be cuisine or activity and how that experience went. These might be somewhat comical.
Tuesday- Confessional. This will be a personal blog much like the one I posted yesterday. Something in depth about me. This is about getting out of my shell.
Wednesday- The Nobody Interview. It's easy to interview someone whose famous for something, but how about someone who is currently a no one? Maybe it'll be about their job, a hobby, or their basic view on life. After all almost everyone who is famous now was a regular Joe Schmo once upon a time.
Thursday- Bitch It Out. Every once in a while I just need to vent. It might be about the guy who cut me off on the way to work or the on-going love/hate relationship with my GPS. This is to allot myself 1 day to rant and prevent me from doing it more regularly.
Friday- Free Flow. It could be a short story or poetry, but something original to keep those juices flowing.
If I post on the weekend it'll be off the cuff and free format. I'll let my hair down. Now as good as I am at making road maps, I am horrible at following them, at least long term. So we'll see how this goes. Program set to initiate Monday 5/10/10

Ack! Don't blame me! lol.
I'm the reverse. The reason why I have a schedule is because I'm quite happy with disorganisation. Doing nothing is quite fine by me. SO to ensure that something gets done on my blog, I created the themes for the days.
That's pratially my point. This week I went three days without blogging beacuse I was utterly stumped. I don't want to put something up there just cause. So I admire your theme-ing. I already have a list of Nobody Interviews I'm excited about!
Oh wow! I admire your dedication to your blog! I'm finally getting into it (fourth time is a charm I suppose) but I still can't imagine writing in it every day. I'm trying to hustle and get this MS out tho :)
I love your themes btw! I think they're great! I look forward to stopping by.
I wish people knew what OCD really was, but there are so many people who just assume it's about organization, or needing something a specific way. Maybe for the absolute lightest version. I think Dr.'s and Therapists who don't have an understanding of it, only lead people to a further misconception of what it is - and the true distruction is has on an afflicted persons life.
