Hi guys!\u00a0 I wanted to talk to you for a minute about me and OHC and sort of my journey to my current writing style.<\/p>\nHi guys!\u00a0 I wanted to talk to you for a minute about me and OHC and sort of my journey to my current writing style.<\/p>\n
First a little bit about me:<\/p>\n
![\"Me\"](\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/OHC-10-17-09_me1-300x225.jpg\" "\\"Me\\"")
I don’t usually wear makeup and am just now getting to the point where posting a picture of me that way is becoming easier.<\/li>\nI seriously could go on and on but I’m just trying to give you a starting point, a foundation if you will, on the basics of me.<\/p>\n
When I first started this blog and was writing my daily eats entries, I was so reserved it wasn’t funny.\u00a0 The other food blogs I saw were happy go-lucky, rainbows, and puppies all the time.\u00a0 This is what I thought the foodie blogworld liked.\u00a0 This is what I thought they wanted.<\/p>\n
This is not me at all.\u00a0 I’m not saying I’m all emo angsty, it’s just that I like keeping things a little more “real”.\u00a0 Showing the realistic side of life and not just the happy-shit-grin side.<\/p>\n
In the beginning, the only time my real humor sort of came out was when I was wrote review posts and sometimes the Tuesday Tip posts.\u00a0 For some reason I felt that maybe my style of humor was only acceptable in those type of posts.\u00a0 I have no idea why I thought this, but there it is.<\/p>\n
Then I stumbled on a few blogs that made me realize that humor was acceptable.\u00a0 These folks talked smack!\u00a0 And I don’t mean that in the sense that they trash talked others, I just mean they were full of inappropriate humor, life, and just shiz.<\/p>\n
To me these were some very real-life foodie blogs and I thanked the baby jeebus for stumbling across these blogs.\u00a0 They helped me realize that there are others out there like me and whose humor is like mine!\u00a0 Hopefully they know who they are.

These blogs helped me understand that I need to get over it and be myself already.\u00a0 Before I was afraid because part of the reason I started this blog was to make connections with others, but I’m so used to people being turned off by my personality (no seriously, most peeps just don’t get me and therefore can’t handle my personality) that I figured it would be the same way in the blogsphere.<\/p>\n
However, in real life I don’t give a flip what someone thinks about me.\u00a0 If you like me, awesome!\u00a0 Let’s be friends!\u00a0 If you don’t like me, whatever, and I move on.\u00a0 I don’t stress about it.<\/p>\n
I needed to apply my same real world rule to the blog world.\u00a0 It was an Aha! moment for me.\u00a0 Why it took me so long, I don’t know.\u00a0 Perhaps I just needed the time to get comfortable in this new skin called Off Her Cork.<\/p>\n
For those that have been around since the beginning, you have probably noticed that my style of writing my daily eats has dramatically changed.\u00a0 Scott likes to call them my crackhead posts, and he means that in as sincere a way as possible when calling someone a crackhead.\u00a0 He means they are funny.\u00a0 He means they are me.<\/p>\n
Pure and simple, my posts and my writing style have become more me.\u00a0 I have realized that either you will like me and my blog or you won’t.<\/p>\n
I’m not going to cover up who I am anymore nor am I going to try to hold back in my writing.\u00a0 Does that mean you can now expect the f-bomb to be dropped a lot?\u00a0 No, just more of what you’ve been seeing, the goofy stuff, the inappropriate humor, me and my huge Polish schnoz<\/span> nose makeup-less.<\/p>\n More of me just trying to be me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi guys!\u00a0 I wanted to talk to you for a minute about me and OHC and sort of my journey to my current writing style.
