So what is an Eileen-ism?
An Eileen-ism is a phrase or cliche modified according to my philosophy or thoughts. They can be a different perspective on a definition or a twist on a cliche. Each one gives you a different perspective on something that may seem quite ordinary or familiar. It makes the ordinary a little less ordinary. Kind of like me.
So why a journal of Eileen-isms?
One night I while writing a private journal on one of my forums, I came up with a new way to express the way I was feeling, explain a little more about myself, and just rant and vent about something that was on my mind. I took a very common cliche and I added my own twist. I wrote a short explanation as a way to further clarify my thoughts. This is how the Eileen-ism was born. While I was on my way to pick up my husband from work I decided to start a (paper) journal of Eileen-isms. I thought of a good introduction (which I am still writing). Perhaps someday I can publish it and a whole series of books (such as Eileen's definitions and other similar type books). If not, then at least I can go back and read them for a good laugh or I can use them in my everyday conversations.
So why a blog of Eileen-isms?
As an avid blogger, I decided to put them into blog form as a way to store and keep track of them as I thought of them. I wanted an easy way to "log" them and share them if I ever felt the need. I know that the idea of another blog really annoys my husband but this is a great way for me to sort out my thoughts and vent.
That is just how I roll...
