The Great Hooberskank Project...

If you're a regular visitor to this blog and read absolutely EVERYTHING that's been going on in the blog, you will have undoubtedly come across the word Hooberskank. No, it's not a misspelling of the band name Hoobastank (great stuff), but a plan that came about to promote this blog to the great unwashed masses of the world (it must be said, however, that I became enamoured with the name Hoobastank and wanted to make some allusion to it sometime in the near future...which would be now. So I used word association to achieve this end. Mwahahahahahahaha. Man, I'm eclectic). Anyway, as I was saying, this blog is mostly read by the few, the proud and clinically insane.... We need to change that. Apart from the fact that my HTML programming skills are pitiful (thus rendering the possibility of a site upgrade improbable) I'm also a lazy bastard who really can't be bothered to be outgoing and promote the blog the hard way. So we're taking the easy way out: we're appealing to the hormone imbalance of the general populace to attract them to this site. How does that work? Simple. From today forward, I am a girl.

Think about it: what type of blogs get read the most? Chick blogs (and sex blogs...written by chicks). With that in mind, I have decided to launch the great Hooberskank project...a project that is out to fool people into believing that they are reading a chick blog. I have already come up with a plot that will introduce a girl (me, in this case) that has just recently broken up with her boyfriend. She (meaning me) is devastated and pours her heart and soul into her blog. This is for the sympathy tug. Later, as she explores other options in life, we can continue on to the graphic descriptions of sexual deviancy that she goes through to get over her ex.
She later discovers that a person that is close to her is in love with her. She will become confused and try to refuse his wooing, which in turn facilitates his spiral into madness. He kills himself and she becomes a manic depressive. Logically, this is the first story arc of the Hooberskank project (since I can't figure out what will happen to the girl (henceforth to be known as Rumokuko)). It should take a couple of months to flesh out the details of Rumokuko's life in blog form...but by that time it should be apparent if the number of readers has increased. I'm still not sure if the project would take form as another blog (which is probable. That site would then have links to this site and would gush about how the writing is lovely or some other equally vapid proclaimation) or if it will attempt to take off from the Intellectual Midget platform (which was the initial plan). What does everyone think? Wanna get involved? Mwhahahahahaahhaah, spread the evil!
