Here a blog, there a blog, everywhere a blog blog.
Right.
Whilst attempting to mow the lawn this afternoon, I decided to get straight in my head what I'm going to use this for. I can blame jes for me having it, but now I've got it I quite fancy using it. The question is just how? And for what? Okay, the two questions...I'll stop here before I enter Spanish Inquisition territory.
But the point is I fear that this blog could go one of two depressing ways. Either I never use it - in which case it becomes just another thing I've started and never finish - or I use it to describe my everyday life - in which case my board posting and my emailing will decline, as I don't like telling the same stories over more than once. And I really don't want to enter posting or emailing apathy land.
So. I think I shall use this for occasional random meanderings that would (and should) go nowhere else. It's not going to be a history of my life, and it's not going to be a place to unload rants and misery like my lj became at times. It's definitely here for anyone else to read - I don't like writing just for me - but it will probably be extremely disjointed, and I will try to stay away from any expectations that people will actually comment on it. But if anyone is interested enough in my occasional thoughts to read it then it'll be here, and it will stop me forcing them on everybody in less appropriate places.
One thing I shall not attempt with this blog is to become less loquacious. I know a lost cause when I am one.

A comment that doesn't sound as snarky as my last one--
I had the same questions about the purpose of a blog. Great minds think alike, eh?
Another blog name thing: My favorite blog name that I have seen is "Crouching Mommy, Hidden Laundry."
You sounded snarky before? Someone saying they are looking forward to reading stuff I write does not sound snarky to me.
I actually read your 'blogdom' entry earlier today. Now can't remember if it was before or after I wrote my entry, though...but yeah. I think a blog has a place to fit into all my other internet activities without destroying anything else precious.
And hee - that's a good blog name. I just went for the first thing that came into my head on realising I had to name the silly thing...
If maintaining this blog comes at the expense of emailing then I will hunt the inventor of blogger down and torture him/her.
Some things are more important.
It won't. Although you know I'm always up for anyone getting tortured.
Currently, however, it is getting in the way of a house party we are having...I can't believe that I actually have RL friends in the house who I'm enjoying being with and yet still you lot are sufficiently more important that I sneak away to my computer. Bad, very bad...
Keppet's scary.
Anyway, I figured this would be used about as much as your LJ one. You seem to one of those rare people who actually possess a life.
Hah!
You what?!
You are so very very wrong...
It may be posted in a bit more often than my lj to begin with, as I haven't got over the novelty of having one of these yet. But the important thing is that it doesn't become a moan/rant/look-at-me! story like my lj did at times.
I honestly don't know where you get that impression from. Your lj never seemed to be any of those things (ok, moan and rant, yes - but everyone was guilty of doing that and isn't that what blogs are for?).
I think you're just being too British about the whole thing. :p
Surely an impossibility to be too British?
;)
It's like being too chocolatey or too sweet or too funny... at first you get really excited and love it but then you feel sick or get cavities or wet yourself.
I read 'wet yourself' in a very wrong way there.
But I am happy to say I have never suffered from being too funny.
I sneaked away from friends to post a comment in Em's blog the other evening. Glad to know I'm not the only one guilty of such a thing...
