How does it feel to be a small-time celebrity?
— Anonymous
Dear Anonymous,
I’m living the life, what can I say.
Actually, I am nowhere near the celebrity that I used to be. During my heyday at BYU, I had the entire female readership of the 100 Hour Board pining for my presence. I was famously named the unofficial minor heartthrob of the Board. Now I live a much more subdued lifestyle, which is fine. I’m no longer that wild young stallion of my youth.
Seriously though, much fewer people read my blog than before. I think the shift from Blogger -> Wordpress on cpanra.org -> Wordpress on iambismark.net -> Tumblr left a few readers on the wayside. But that’s ok. I am a much less prolific blogger than I used to be. I think one of the biggest reasons for that is my stabilized love life. Angst over failed love is a great motivator for creating interesting art. Reading about how happy someone is usually a lot less entertaining. But I wouldn’t up Mariam in a million years just to be a more interesting blogger.
