Hi! My name is Amber, and I started this blog because I talk too much. I’m a Toronto girl who works in telecommunications by day and devours pop culture by night. I started this blog in the Spring of 2012 as a way to unwind after spending the day in Corporate World. You can read the whole story here.
Inspired by the wise words of Ingrid Bergman - “A kiss is a lovely trick, designed to stop speech when words become superfluous” - Words Become Superfluous is a place to collect the sights, sounds, and words that stop speech for me. I also write about my talented photographer sister, my imaginary boyfriends, and what’s been on my tv screen lately.
(I should pause for a moment here to mention that one of these imaginary boyfriends is, in fact, a very funny and talented real-life writer who hosts a blog along with a couple of other very funny and talented boys. And they very kindly let me call their blog my online home away from home once in a while. And don’t ask me how I got away with that one, because I haven’t figured it out either).
To share your thoughts with me, you can click on any of the Contact icons over there on the right, or of course, say hi in the Comments. I can’t wait to hear from you!

http://jaydeashe.wordpress.com/2013/05/31/sunshine-on-a-rainy-day/
Aww, thank you Jayde-Ashe! That’s so sweet of you! (Teeheehee – see what I did there?
) I’ll have to plan something special to acknowledge this … stay tuned … )
I’ve never liked your About page. Shocked
and must change that. Now I’m off to find your first post… Interesting you knew of BoFN even back when you started. OR have you rewritten About since you started? Curious about timeline. I first heard from Dave last summer, I think, then started reading soon after that. You were already close personal friends with these guys by then though, yes?
Now you’ve got me thinking … have I liked your about page? I will have to check that out!
I updated the page to include the BoFN mention, but I only started reading their blog last spring. I didn’t really start bonding with the boys until the summer, though
Great blog you’ve got here.
Thank you so much! I hope you’ll stay a while
