Diversity, dialogue and multiculturalism in America

You know, I’ve always been a firm believer in the fact that people who talk about themselves too much are boring and rude.

I try not to talk about myself too much.  I try not to write about myself too much, either.

The problem with this, of course, is that every now and then when I go back to read what I’ve written here, I have a hard time remembering what I was feeling or thinking when I wrote something.  I think I have a good ability in terms of allowing readers to see themselves in my words, but I’d like to expand my ability to inject myself more openly and honestly into my words.

And, so, for the next 30 days, I will do nothing, but talk about myself here.

I know you’re excited beyond belief.

And for those of you who are waiting for me to post a video on making daal, don’t fret, you’ll get that, too.  Just maybe over here instead.

Adam inspired me to participate in the 30 Days of Truth Meme.  So, you can thank him for that.

I’m nervous.  Because… I’m not very good at talking about myself.

Enjoy your 30 days off from my blog?

    Well, where is your day 1? I did this yesterday, too, thanks to Adam! It was so much fun talking about all I hate about myself. Sigh.

    Oooh I can’t wait! : ) and I’m totally stealing this idea, if it’s ok.

    I enjoy whatever snippets of real life I find in Blogs. It’s endearing to me when you write a post that includes the exchange about someone’s opinion about getting off the internet- right Tariq? I will look forward to reading your posts!

    I tend to enjoy the personal.

    Enjoy–I hope you have a fascinating reflection on your month.

    I LOVE it! I can’t wait to see what you have to say! :)

    I know that I learn and process through writing so I’m excited to see where you’ll be at at the end of the 30 days.

    Did I mention that I cannot wait?!?

    Fantastic idea.

    Well I read personal blogs, well for personal things. I like getting to know people and they need to talk about themselves.

    Get personal :D

  7. Avitable says:

    I’ll be interested to see if you really go through with all thirty of them, too. Yeah, that was me calling you out. Uh huh.

  8. HORSESHIT! (that was if you really think we don’t want to read about you. i happen to care about you and welcome the opportunity to get to know you better. so there!)

    I think you just called me boring and rude…

  10. hpflo says:

    I look forward to the 30 Day challenge.

  11. B.E. Earl says:

    If the first few days of Adam’s posts mean anything, then I will be reading by not commenting. Or, if you’d like, I can provide you with a generic comment now that you can use for each of the 30 posts. Let me know. :)

  12. Deborah says:

    I am definitely looking forward to the next 30 days! …and I love daal, so I feel doubly excited.

  13. Lisa says:

    I’m thinking of doing this one too. I’m looking forward to reading yours!

  14. Poppy says:

    I have to wait 30 more days to get recipes? *cry*

    I love it when you tell me more about you, though. :)

  15. Miss Grace says:

    I’m doing it too. I’m on day….7? I think?

  16. Sybil Law says:

    What?! And miss the dirt? Oh Hell to the no!!!

  17. Kellee says:

    I have been debating about doing this as well. hehe :)

  18. tariq says:

    as long as this doesn’t get me in trouble, i will continue to read for the next 30 days! :)

  19. Whatever! As your official nemesis, I will be reading each and every day in order to discover your weaknesses and exploit them. MWHAHAHAHA!

  20. I absolutely LOVE the idea of the 30 days of truth! I would consider doing it if I blogged more than once a month. I am really looking forward to reading your blog while you’re doing this! This might be a quicker way to get to know someone, other than just reading regular entries. I hope you get more comfortable writing about yourself too. :-)

  21. Kate says:

    Actually, I LIKE this idea. And you did a great job on the first post. So far, so good! I’ll stay tuned for at least Day 2. :)

  22. [...] came upon this on Faiqa’s blog. The full list can be found here. I’m a sucker for certain memes. So [...]
