About Me and You and Our Delicious Life

Though it may not be apparent from the fact that I write a blog, and not only that I write a blog, but have inadvertently transformed what is supposedly a food blog into a blog that serves as a cheap form of therapy for me, I have trouble talking about myself.

I do.

No, really. I do.

So when I first started The Delicious Life, back when I was a bright, fresh, naive young blogger full of energy and eager to gush and coo and sigh over food, I didn't even have an "About Me" page because really now, it's all about the food, is it not? Who the hell cares who I am? I eventually caved, but only to go with a QnD - that's "quick and dirty" for all you layfolk. The Top Three Lists were to temporarily serve as a tiny window into who I am until I got my silly little self together to write a pithy, witty, little blurb about me.

"Temporarily." Please. I have now come to terms with the reality that I will never be able to write a short paragraph about myself for reasons too numerous to list, but do include such things as "I have never in my life been all that very concise or succinct about much in my life ever," and "I hate talking about myself, except when I blog about myself."

However, I am republishing my Top Three Lists here and now because I recently went back and read it and realized that some things have changed about me. I mean, you didn't think I would still be wearing a baby pink baby polo shirt, did you?

And just to make things more fun for everyonen involved, and yes, there's no denying that we're "involved" now, let me know about you in the Comments. I really do want to know more about you. In triples. Particulalry what you are wearing right now.
