| Blogger's Day |
| 06.14.05 (8:20 am) [edit] |

I heard it was something like that today... [b]Why did you start blogging, how long have you been doing so, and why have you continued?[/b] I started blogging because I liked reading other people's blogs...the more personal, the better!! I started blogging about 5 years ago. I've just kept moving around. I used to have something going at the page that I told people about, but then some people thought it got too personal, so I moved elsewhere. Then I decided I wanted to keep things more private (yet in a public medium), so I moved again. Then that site sucked (even though my blog was not easily found), so I moved yet again. And now I'm here or possibly ready to move again. I blog because it's a good way for me to let out all my thoughts. Usually it's just a stream of consciousness. Sometimes I want to keep track of what's going on in my life. Blogging helps me sort out my thoughts and feelings. I find it difficult to verbally express myself clearly without sitting down to think first. I get to vent. I get to commemorate happy events. I get to be as girly as I want. Sometimes I want feedback. Often I don't get it :lol: I find that once I express myself in a blog, whatever's on my mind doesn't seem so big anymore. I used to physically write in a journal, but since I spend so much time at a computer, it's just more convenient to type. |

Just because people don't comment doesn't mean they are not reading this.

I know...I don't comment that often, even at blogs I regularly read!!

The thing I've found the most ironic, is that the entries I'm proudest don't get anywhere near the comments that some of the sillier ones do.
And on that same note, I've found when I read a REALLY GOOD entry, anything I can think of to comment on seems somehow inadequate...Is that weird?

The internet is a very efficient and effective way of sharing your thoughts.
Happy Blogger's Day :)

That is so not weird at all!! I can't count the number of times I've wanted to comment on a really great post but be at a loss for words. The silly entries make it easy for commenting *L*

I haven't been blogging as long as you but this post pretty much sums it up for me too.

Blogger's day? Hmm... I wonder why I never heard about it before. Oh well...
I think I blog for pretty much the same reasons as you. :) Don't move!!

I echo your thoughts 100%...I have so many journals at home, which was great for when I was a student and had the time to write. But now that I write for a living, the last thing I want to do when I go home is write for pleasure. Convenience is much more important, and being able to sit at a computer and let it all out WHEN it's on my mind, has helped me move on quicker....ah, the joys of modern technology.

Do you ever read back on stuff you've written? I have been copying and pasting my tBlog stuff into a Word doc, and at the end of the month, I print out the pages for the month!!

I still don't know why I blog. I blog for a while, then I quit, then I start up again, then I quit. I think tblog is a highly addictive place though.

I never thought about that! I'll do it now, and start creating a "real" journal for the kids and grandkids to read...someday. Thanks for the tip, oh wise one :)

You're welcome :) I think if I was to print out anything for other people, I'd want to edit my journals first! Some things I'm not so sure I'd want my kids or grandkids to know about me *L* When I die, I want all my journals (paper or electronic) to be destroyed!!
