She almost sounds condescending now, but I think you can only get that if you've been following her from the days of genuine to the days of genuine-but-with-an-MO. I still think she's great, but I don't love her as much anymore. I dunno, something has changed. <br /><br />But regardless, I think a blog is a place to justify your existence. When anyone gives you approval -- or a comment -- you feel a little better about how the world is turning. When someone isn't interested in becoming a writer and just blogs or keep their thoughts in a public place, what are they trying to accomplish? They're trying to get an opinion out there and see if it matters to anyone else, I suppose.<br /><br />I love blogging because I love writing though... I think that was the actual answer to your question! Thought provoking post, awesome!Christina Fabiano™https://www.blogger.com/profile/15114614609969547804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546772257175493950.post-68939761436627038502009-09-20T01:30:22.210-04:002009-09-20T01:30:22.210-04:00Angie and Whevergeek:

A wonderous thing in and of itself, a place where you can absolutely be yourself with no repercussions (supposedly). <br /><br />And thankyou! I think it's pretty spiffy. :)Nyxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08265691788683878643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546772257175493950.post-3501003144021194902009-09-19T20:22:05.078-04:002009-09-19T20:22:05.078-04:00To me a blog is somewhere you can post what you ar...To me a blog is somewhere you can post what you are thinking about, dealing with, or whatever. Like Angie said, it's a form of self-expression.<br /><br />Speaking of blogs...you have a great one.<br /><br />thewheverblog.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546772257175493950.post-32437205042603531582009-09-18T14:43:24.129-04:002009-09-18T14:43:24.129-04:00A blog is just another form of self-expression and...A blog is just another form of self-expression and in my opinion its a great one. Anyone can do it and you can speak as publicly or as privately as you want. It also helps if you love to write, like me.<br /><br />It just speaks volumes to people's insecurity when they bash another blogger.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02281741312772212445noreply@blogger.com
