Two Ugly Traits: Stalking and Ego

Somehow, my brilliant sister Julia always seems to find wickedly funny bloggers (she, of course, is one too, so maybe it's a cool-kids kind of club). I read these genius writers and feel surges of shame and pity for my little blog.

I have discovered another one of my sister's finds ... and I am now a devoted stalker/reader. She's the cat's meow.

Sure, everyone thinks they can be a witty writer ... why, when I was a journalist I would consistently hear contacts and other reporters alike wax eloquent on how they would be a fabulous writer and columnist. Here's the cold, hard truth: You can be a witty person, but it takes a person of great caliber to be a witty writer. Typically, these delusional people, of which I am one (because somewhere in the deep recesses of my soul, I know I think I'm funny when I write), end up sounding sophomoric.

Anyway, besides this fact, she had an excellent link the other day to a Web site that rates the readability of your blog. Excellent! I found that much like her, I thought my blog would be above and beyond the mediocre. I have a slight (and unfounded, as it would seem) ego about my vocabulary. I've always thought I had a slightly intelligent tone. I brazenly went to the site this morning, typed in my blog address and here was my result:

Shot through the heart. Not quite the college level I thought I would be. I'm incorporating the Word of the Day into all my posts and will try again later.
