The Comfy Corner

I suppose it's time to fess up and admit that I was incredibly high when I decided starting a blog would be an excellent idea, hence the name comfy corner - because when I'm high I love soft things and comfortable corners. I suppose our best ideas come when our minds are set free by the powers of recreational anesthesia. Unfortunately, the name comfycorner.blogspot.com was ALREADY TAKEN! Witness the screenshot above or take a visit for yourself. You will quickly notice that the blog is anything but comfortable - the bright pinks are harsh on the eyes and the layout choice has much to be desired. You will then notice that no posts have been made by "Madeline." I viewed her complete profile and I quickly noted that I was the first one to ever view it. BAH! She's not even popular! She probably has like 57 friends on Facebook (the days of number-of-friends competitions have long passed haven't they? We've come a long way, yes we have) No doubt some 11 year old girl out there who doesn't even know how to make a blog decided it would be fun to just mess around and see what it was like, not knowing that someone with an actual, creative idea would come by 5 years later wanting to use the same domain name. Madeline, I hope you are reading this, I want you to go to Olive Garden and eat bread sticks until you explode.

So, there I was, high as a kite with a brilliant idea but no domain name. Other combinations such as comfycorner2010 or comfycornerbychang simply wouldn't do. I would have to come up with something even more creative. So I went to Facebook - my go to for inspiration. And I was casually checking my profile to see how I was doing and I realized (with horror) that no one had liked one of my clever statuses. So I sat eagerly by the computer and said "Like my status!" which is when I suddenly realized that Facebook allows you to like your own status. I had never noticed this before. So like Snidely Whiplash, I grinned, looked around with mischievous eyes, and I clicked the "like" button. I liked my own status, I usually do. Then, it dawned on me that I had found my domain name. And that, children, is how likemystatus.blogspot.com came to be.
