I'm sure its because they feel like they can't compare to my superior writing skills so I totally understand.<BR/>(I'm kidding! I'm not THAT arrogant..well..not out loud anyways). <BR/>I get a few people who are like, why do you want strangers reading about stuff you wrote and blah blah blah, but I usually just shake my head and ignore them. I feel bad that they haven't gotten into blogging. I've read some of the funniest, smartest, wittiest shit from fellow bloggers!

I don't keep the fact that I have a blog a secret, because when you guys come up in conversation, I feel the need to explain who you are, so people don't think you only exist in my head. Actually, I've gotten to the point where (if something a blotter mentioned comes up in conversation) I just say, "I have a friend who...". It simplifies things and alleviates explaining that I'm not having cybersex in chat rooms.<BR/><BR/>I'm an open book. People I love and people I could live without ever seeing again know about my blog. They may read it. But I don't discuss certain topics for that very reason. I limit Ex stuff considerably. <BR/><BR/>My RL friends and I have conversations about goings on that we deem "blogworthy" or not. It's really sad. And cool. We're the cool kids.Lexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10916250495361008108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29117308.post-76822795308823105872007-06-16T01:04:00.000-04:002007-06-16T01:04:00.000-04:00Hi, I came over from Kiyotoe's place....nice blog ...Hi, I came over from Kiyotoe's place.<BR/>...nice blog you have here.<BR/><BR/>I want you to know I'm not naked and typing with one hand.

I've given some of them my URL but they hardly come by and when they do, they don't even really take in the subject matter as much as they appreciate the decor of the site. <BR/><BR/>The thing that gets me, and I guess everyone has their own reasons for doing so is, why don't more bloggers share their URL's with their RL folks. I heard telling coworkers that you have a blog is a no-no, but I guess I'm content to buck the suggestions and do it anyway. <BR/><BR/>As for the blog itself, they say that it's the perfect forum for me as I am nutty and extroverted and meeting people seems to come very easily for me. How else will people know about me if not through blogging? ;)Luke Cagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13129670058219925738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29117308.post-23205593491738163682007-06-15T03:58:00.000-04:002007-06-15T03:58:00.000-04:00I have a RL friend who introduced me to blogging. ...I have a RL friend who introduced me to blogging.

So I like when people haven't heard of blogs or <I>High School Musical</I> because I take it to mean they haven't been subjected to unwanted crap and they were busy with people or anything but a computer or a T.V.<BR/><BR/>I think embody the isolation element of the so-called dangers of Internet use. If I had people in my life, I might not be here. On the other hand, that feeds my online persona. Most of my attitude and freedom here stems from the fact that I don't have to face anyone who reads me. No one's going to confront me on my physical turf.~Macarena~https://www.blogger.com/profile/04293093033103987629noreply@blogger.com
