Blogging from one of my university’s libraries like a boss.
The inspiration for today’s blog entry comes from a conversation that happened last night:
Mother, talking about Facebook, Twitter, blogs: “What surprises me is that people want to share everything with everyone.”
Sister: “What surprises me, is that they think people care enough to read it.”
Little do they know, am I right? I am right, because there is always someone who wants to read it.1 I have people who subscribe to and read this blog (albeit a small number), without me even having to hold them at gunpoint. I enjoy the fact that I’m writing to an audience. Writing for an audience, even.
Further, the more personal the blog is (i.e., the more details that are given out about the bloggers’ personal lives), the more interesting it generally is. Since being told I’m a bit elusive online, I’m endeavouring to talk about it more, continuing my “thoughts about random topics” approach I had when I began, but also sharing more personal thoughts and details. I’ve mentioned before that if I told Real Life friends about this blog, most of them wouldn’t understand the concept of blogging, and the speech I quoted above supports my hypothesis.
I guess you have to be a blogger to understand blogging.
