Blogger's "How to Guide" to Sharing "Our Story"

Blogger has noticed that the trend for new couples is to write out "their story" for the whole world to see. Blogger's roommate is half of one such couple. Blogger shares insight into how to accomplish this task.

Set the frame:

Every story needs a framework in which to operate. It should be noted that such a framework involves "sap." A reasonable word is impossible to find during one of these stories. Trying find the word "No" for instance.

Sap takes many different forms. Physical descriptions of the beloved are particularly annoying. "The smile from her face lit my heart on fire" is a great example of a good "our story" and why Blogger detests them so much. In fact, Blogger suggests that the best "our story" would be along the lines of "twisted fairy tales."

"And as my prince rode his broken down steed into the barn post, I heartily despised him, but the social setting which I lived demanded that we meet and wed, so "yes" left my lips as "hope" left my heart. Now I go riding on a horse everyday. The end."

Creatively illustrate how "your story" is unique from "their story"

For instance, "our story: how two perfect strangers could meet in the first place is completely impossible, because no one is perfect, not even strangers. But we did meet and our meeting is perfect so now we are going to make all of our friends miserable by telling them about it over and over and over and over again." Ahem.

Writing a good "our story" is an art. Much like witchcraft.

It could all be avoided if you would have kept her from bewitching you in the first place.
