I guess I never realized what a huge part of my life blogging has been. You might say, you've only had this thing for a few months, how can you call it a huge part of your life, but I've been doing this writing online thing since 7th grade. Livejournal was my media of choice in middle school. I did it religiously then as well. Mostly talking about how stupid my parents were, what I was doing over spring break, or some boy I found to obsess over for a few weeks that I "loved." I read every single blog post from the three blogs I kept from 7th grade until sophomore year today. I laughed and cried. I saw all of my high's and low's. Things I could remember down to the smallest detail and things that I had to think hard to recall.
I think it's ironic that I can't keep a private journal or diary to save my life, but I don't mind sharing my world with complete strangers or casual aquaintances on here. I've become so accustomed to it because I think like nobody reads this besides me. I know that's a stupid way to think, but seriously when someone tells me they read it I get all shocked. I've come to the conclusion that blogging is a necessity for me. Even next year in college I plan to keep this going. It will be strange to one day look back on this blog, the way I looked back on my Livejournals and laugh at my obsessions with certain people and things. But reading the old ones and these old ones proves somethings never change: I'm still as melodramatic and courageous as ever because my words are still being typed and published for all to see. :)

i read them as consistently as i can, i try and post as much as possible, and i used to be posting on a consistent basis, but since like December or something I kinda slowed down.
I've tried to stay constant though, and I read these as often as i can.
Awh :)
I totally have to follow you.
Yes I completely understand. I first started blogging as a venue to let out my thoughts and ideas before they had the opportunity to escape me. It was also a way to create a daily routine and since of security that I was lacking. Now I have at least 18 subscibers and I am excited that my personal thoughts and ideas are of intrests to others, so much so I was asked to blog for a non-profit organization. I think you should continue to blog to see where it takes you. I declaire myself also a "BLOGGER FOR LIFE"
