Happy Saturday y'all!
I've really been sucked into this blog world. It's a strange phenomenon that I wish I had heard about sooner. I've done the rounds at online message boards and forums (still frequent a few but numerous ones have fallen to the wayside), did a few chats in the day, and downloaded all the messengers a few years back (all of which have been deleted except MSN which I rarely use).
But this blog thing is too cool. Every day I can read a concise (well sometimes) story about a perfect stranger's life. Their thoughts, what they are doing, what their cat did, what another stranger said to them on the subway. And bonus, I can read what blogs they are reading. I could happily click on links all day long and learn about Canada's weather, a fight with Significant Other, and the loss of 23 red Christmas ornaments (again cats...)
I always thought the web was pretty cool but now a whole new realm has opened up. Wanna read about a LEGO Master Builder candidate's interview? Melissa provided the link in her blog. And it's amusing to watch one blog be discussed in other blogs. Belle de Jour's "The New Black?" Come on, you know you've read it. *winks*
So keep writing all you bloggers, journalers, etc. We are reading and waiting impatiently for more about your tumor, your next chapter, or what the Village Clerk will have to do next. Silly how the littlest things are so entertaining to read. The most mundane events are the best because it makes the rest of the world seem a little more real. There are other people out there who have I Love Lucy moments and wish their husbands would get a clue (and sometimes they do!). It makes me feel a little more normal about my boring little life.
Oh and how could I forget the best part of blogging? As Freud said, it's all about the ego. :)
