About Me
I’m Monique. 20 (ish). Born and raised in Toronto. I have a cat named Stewie. I love cooking, shopping and movies. Welcome to my blog.
Presently I work as a Web Designer. The job has it’s perks and the freelance income is really helping pay for Stewie’s special diet cat food. I didn’t always know what I wanted to be ‘when I grew up’, but I knew if it was going to be a job that I loved, it would have to be in the media industry.
Writing has been a passion of mine since I was very young. I figure as well as connect to my potential audience, this blog will rekindle the passion I had for literal expression that was a bit fizzled by years of writing monotonous essays in university (okay… maybe English wasn’t so bad. Thank goodness for Coles Notes!).
I remember self-publishing my own ‘zine in high school… cutting and pasting images to go with the little articles I wrote (no Photoshop!) and then photocopying and handing them out to my friends. Now I have a new medium for my ‘words of wisdom’: the Net. I even went against my better judgment (and stalkerphobia) and put up a photo of myself, to add to my credibility.
So I guess you’re wondering about the name “A Lot About Nothing”. Well, it’s pretty self explanatory. Not that I think my precious words are worth ‘nothing’… quite the contrary. Yeah, I know… if you want to have a ‘proper’ blog, you’ve got to choose a niche or theme for it. But, I have a wide range of different interests (and a lot of rants) and knew that if I started a blog, that I would be blogging a little about everything.
It’s kind of like Mr. Gump’s box of chocolates analogy: When you visit my blog, you never know what type of post/subject you’re gonna get. You may love the day’s topic, gobble it up and click the tags for more like it, or you might only read 1/2 of it, find out you’re not really feelin’ it and close the window (hopefully not!).
So there you have it: and intro to me and my blog. Feel free to comment (try to be civil… I’m goodie-two-shoes like that :P) Read up and enjoy!
