Quick get to know me before you dive into the shit show that will inevitably become my blog. See, this is because I am messy, but I have manners.
Thanks for somehow making your way to my blog. Whatever little rabbit hole you dove down that brought you on this journey, I am thankful for it. As this is my first blog post I feel it’s only right that we get better acquainted.
I have blogged for companies and other people in the past (for work) but I don’t really know what my blog is going to become yet. I do know that I want it to be a happy space. A place that feels like we’re just hanging together and having fun. Just the girls n’ the gays, that’s it. This is a safe space to complain about boyfriends, discuss the latest celebrity drama, fashion, makeup, advice, and anything else that we feel needs to be covered.
Here is a short introduction as to who I am and probably a good little peek into what this blog is going to be like. You can evaluate whether or not I deserve your attention: I hope I do.
1. I seriously considered entitling this blog “It’s Delaney, Bitch” but that seemed a little aggressive and no matter how hard I try, nothing flows off the tongue like “It’s Britney, Bitch.”
2. I’m a freelance content writer, copywriter, and public relations specialist. Right now, I’m taking basically any work that comes across my desk. Sometimes this means I’m writing about technology, robots, gadgets and gizmos, and other days I’m writing about ways to improve your sex life. I can’t make this stuff up, really!
As much as I love freelancing in any field I come across, my dream job lives somewhere in the media world, focusing on one topic I’m interested in and passionate about. I would love to be a content writer, podcast and video writer/editor/producer, or influencer relations specialist for a brand I really care about. I’m interested in things like dance, true crime, beauty, skincare, fashion, wellness, activewear, sustainability, women’s health and probably more that I’m forgetting to mention. I feel as though my dream career lives somewhere in one of these paths.
3. I am a dance teacher and choreographer. I feel like everyone my age has a “side hustle” of some sort, I’m just lucky enough to have a side hustle that’s my passion. Teaching dance hasn’t made me tons of money, and most likely never will, but I really do it because I love it. Not only do I get to make lifelong connections with some of the kids, but I get to express so much creativity, feeling, and emotion when I choreograph. It sounds a little silly when I try to explain it to a non-creative person, but creating dances helps smooth every aspect of my life. When we go on break from dance I feel deprived somehow and I get a tiny bit anxious and way more moody, then as soon as I get back in the studio all of that goes away.
I’ve been that way about dance for as long as I can remember. I started dance when I was four, and by the time I was in high school I was dancing about 25 hours a week. Dance will keep me busy with plenty of things to tell you guys too. If I wasn’t fearful of some of the Karen-ass moms suing me, I could literally just blog about dance mom drama. You would all be very entertained, and maybe a little stressed out, they usually stress me out.
4. Some of ya’ll bout to be real mad at me...I feel like I’m the only twenty-something girl who does not give a damn about crystals or zodiac. Oopsies. Of course I always think it’s fun to hear about, but in my mind it’s on the same level as Buzzfeed’s “What Kind of Cheeto are you?” quiz or something. Just for funsies, you know?
My friends are obsessed with zodiac, and live their lives around it. Before you judge my choice in friends, I should explain that they’re otherwise very logical people, they’re just coo-coo for Zodiac like every other girl our age. I’m a Cancer, but that’s about all I know. The girls n’ the gays are always telling me “that’s your Cancer showing” or “yeah, I’m not surprised you guys broke up because you’re a Cancer and he’s a Capricorn.” I usually don’t know what they’re talking about, but they seem to enjoy it so I let them. They also always ask me what my rising sign is and all this other shit. I don’t know my rising, falling, spitting, moving, moon, sunshine or anything tf else. I just know Cancer, and that’s enough for me.
If you’re a millennial reading this, I’m sorry if this is the first you’re hearing of this but Gen Z makes fun of you guys. I love a good millennial, in fact, I’m barely Gen Z, but Gen Z makes fun of millennials, hardcore. They make fun of them for “But first, coffee,” which I agree is a little headass. But they also make fun of you guys for the Harry Potter house obsession and I’m obsessed with that too, so they can stfu about that one. Anyway, I think that the next generation will make fun of Gen Z for the god damn crystal and zodiac obsession. It’s crazy and a little bit embarrassing. I don’t mind a little manifesting, but I’m done with the crystals and the horoscopes.
5. I seem like I watch the Bachelor and that embarrasses me a lot. People always just assume I watch it, I don’t know what’s wrong with me that I give off those vibes. I personally think that the Bachelor is degrading to women and also just embarrassing for the entire human race. I used to think that maybe it was just a problem with Americans, but then I saw Love Island UK and felt a lot better about the situation. Turns out every country has their black sheep, and then they go and broadcast them on national television and make them millionaires. Except it was totally okay when it was Jersey Shore, that was art.
Here are a few shoes that I do watch though: So You Think You Can Dance, World of Dance, Ozark, Schitt’s Creek, The Handmaid’s Tale, RuPaul’s Drag Race (and Allstars), and Riverdale and All American (and all sorts of other CW shows… stop, I’m embarrassed-- I know I’m 23).
And then there are of course the shows that I watch when I have absolutely nothing else to watch (aka when I get too overwhelmed when trying to pick a new show so I resort to an oldie but a goodie): Gilmore Girls, The Office, Gossip Girl, New Girl and Pretty Little Liars. You might think I’m basic for that list, but at least I didn’t say Grey’s Anatomy or Keeping up With the Kardashians like every other bitch. Period.
There are a lot more opinionated rants, hot takes, and very unqualified reviews of tv where that came from. If anyone out there is reading this I would love to get to know you better. Feel free to use the comment section and we can start a discussion, a chat, whatever you want. Also look out for more blog posts by yours truly because I put out a new one every week! Can’t wait to see how this goes.
