Dad Is Great! Give Us Chocolate Cake!

Yumm...I had cake for breakfast AND for lunch today! And if you'll recall from Bill Cosby: Himself, cake is a nutritious, whole meal which includes milk, eggs, and looooots of suga!

My friend Karen made Make-Out Cake and brought it into work so she wouldn't have to eat it. Make-Out cake is when you invite a boy over to your house to make cake and end up making out as well. But then you realize you shouldn't have made out and so you bring the Make-Out cake into work to be eaten by your coworkers because you can't bear the sight of it.

I can tell you it's very good. I can tell it was made with luuurv...

You might be wondering how I have the gumption to eat cake not once, but twice in one day. I will tell you that I am well within my rights; It's TwerpsWorld's birthday! At least, it was on March 31. And I totally "forgot" it because I was moving, etc...reading a Blog Birthday Tribute on another friend's blog reminded me of it. And so now I find myself scrambling to come up with a suitable tribute.

What comes to mind is this: I was a very different person when I started TwerpsWorld. I was also terrified. I worried about offending people, about whether I was a decent enough writer, or what would happen if I got caught writing at work! Early on I did abandon Twerpsworld, because I was not doing so well. Then I went back to it and found that writing it helped me feel good. And people started reading it, lo and behold.

I went back and read it all this weekend, trying to get a feel for how it has evolved. The early stuff if complete shite and I seriously considered deleting some of it. But I had to write those entries before I found my "voice", so to speak, so I left them up. Feel free to read them and then mock me mercilessly.

I'm just grateful I have a forum to speak my mind, whatever mood I'm in, and that you guys read and appreciate (most of the time) what I do here, and make comments which make me laugh and encourage me.

The blog has had many skins, literally and figuratively. Posts have gone up, posts have come down; chapters opened and closed. But it's my story and I'm proud to tell it. I'm proud of all the entries, even the ones that suck.

Here are a few of my faves. Thanks for reading. And no, I haven't called him.

In Which I Encourage the Overconsumption of Alcohol I feel like this is the post that started turning the tide toward my writing actually sounding like something I would write.

Divorced Kid Humor Some insight into my crazy - the part which relates to coming from a broken home. ;-)

Chia Pets Are Misleading This was fun to write, until the browser crapped out on me and I had to rewrite it from memory! I did a decent job, though. I was on a mission with this post. It's loaded with awkward sentences.

Difference a Year Makes I really like this post because this is me being humble. heh heh heh. It's very heartfelt.

I Have Some Complaints Recent. Vitriolic and uncharacteristic for me. Clearly wrote it after coffee.
