Did you ever keep a diary? Do you still? How is...1. Did you ever keep a diary? Do you still? How is blogging different from keeping a written journal?<BR/><BR/>--> I did off and on in high school, but not regularly. I think blogging is different because it's an opportunity to publicly express your opinions. I tend to keep the details of my personal life offline.<BR/><BR/>2. What's the weirdest thing that's happened to you because of blogging?<BR/><BR/>--> Probably meeting our twins, T&J! But beyond that, I'd say being linked to from the Lostpedia.<BR/><BR/>3. Have you ever met someone who read your blog without previously knowing they read your blog?<BR/><BR/>--> Not yet, but I'm sure it's bound to happen. (Especially if I'm in Moscow or Sydney - apparently people there love to visit my blog.)<BR/><BR/>4. Is there an entry you are particularly proud of? What was it about?<BR/><BR/>--> I'd say any ANTM recap I did during the Jade season. That was such fun, and I was loving to hate Jade while I was loving Joanie.<BR/><BR/>5. Is there any entry you are particularly embarrassed about? What was it about?<BR/><BR/>--> I think just my earliest posts. I wasn't quite sure how/what to write, and re-reading those makes me cringe.<BR/><BR/>6, Why do you keep blogging?<BR/><BR/>--> It's a way for me to review the world of entertainment as an avocation in a way I wish I could professionally. And with my friends it's often a springboard for conversations on various topics.Dancer in DChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07087622962074214295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9566587.post-84445090115760581152007-08-21T10:39:00.000-04:002007-08-21T10:39:00.000-04:001. I used to keep a diary off-and-on, but I was to...1. I used to keep a diary off-and-on, but I was too lazy to maintain the discipline need. Blogging is easier because I can now type faster than I write and typing enables me to keep up with my mind's pace better. <BR/><BR/>2. The weirdest thing that happened to me because of blogging was that I got offered a job. I didn't take it, but it was fun to be offered a job by a reader.<BR/><BR/><BR/>3. Nope, never met someone who read my blog without my previously knowing it.<BR/><BR/>4. I think I'm proud of most of my entries about being Indian. They can veer toward whiny, but I think they're heartfelt.<BR/><BR/>5. I wrote an entry on another blog I keep anonymously. It was about hating certain types of people and I got a hate mail for it, and I was not prepared to cope with the flaming.<BR/><BR/>6, I don't keep blogging. I'm lazy about it. But when I do write, it's because I can't hold it in anymore and I want to share what I feel. The occasional positive comment serves as a nice boost.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9566587.post-28664650084093354452007-08-20T21:00:00.000-04:002007-08-20T21:00:00.000-04:001.

How is blogging different from keeping a written journal?<BR/><BR/>No. I think blogging is different because it's open to anyone who clicks in. Some folks guard themselves a bit when writing a blog. Some people hide behind the anonymous web and share all. <BR/><BR/>2. What's the weirdest thing that's happened to you because of blogging?<BR/><BR/>I met you! HA. But seriously, I have met some very interesting, great people.<BR/><BR/>3. Have you ever met someone who read your blog without previously knowing they read your blog?<BR/><BR/>No.<BR/><BR/>4. Is there an entry you are particularly proud of? What was it about?<BR/><BR/>There are few, but the one I keep clicking back to is the Brown Butter/Vanilla Brioche. Particularly because it was such a project!<BR/><BR/>5. Is there any entry you are particularly embarrassed about? What was it about?<BR/><BR/>Not really. Being a food blogger, I try to post the good and the bad. There was one mishap with scallops that was certainly awful.<BR/><BR/>6, Why do you keep blogging?<BR/><BR/>I love it. It's the longest I've kept with any hobby.ScottE.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02346813251871182513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9566587.post-33284242752824537412007-08-18T07:09:00.000-04:002007-08-18T07:09:00.000-04:00Nice post!

Yes, off and on since I was about 10....I'll play!<BR/><BR/>1. Yes, off and on since I was about 10. My biggest journaling time was college-grad school-early 20's. I'm a lot more open, vulnerable, and seraching in my journals than on the blog, for obvious reasons.<BR/><BR/>2. The random happy hours with strangers were pretty weird. I usually had fun, but it was a strange way to have small talk with people you didn't know at all but had been reading about, and vice versa. <BR/><BR/>3. I don't think so, but I've had friends who I didn't know read my blog say things to me that they only could've known by reading.<BR/><BR/>4. I was really excited that my first time in the Express was one of my more thoughtful political posts. Later ones were more random. And I made it into Wonkette with an Ann Coulter-hellfire post!<BR/><BR/>5. Ah, the whole eHarmony thing. I really didn't know it was that evil until I posted about it and everyone told me. I was embarrassed that I hadn't done more research on my own and had been giving money to a company that I should've despised all along.<BR/><BR/>6. God, who knows. I think about quitting pretty often. I don't get the same out of it as I used to - and I tend to like reading my friends' blogs more than writing my own these days.Stefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024186205791001584noreply@blogger.com
