the "y Journal" comments/asks:
its amazing how many people find relief in this - in writing down their thoughts. doesn't that mean that none of us have that person that we are so comfortable with that we can share all of the things that we put in our blog? is it loneliness that pushes you toward this hobby? i mean there are all kinds of blogs out there: the social blog (for friends to read, catch up on your life without actually talkin to ya) the 'opinionated' blog (vent your ideas on hot issues) and then personal blogs (you pour your heart out, unveil your uttermost secrets, just to see them written down)... and there maybe be more. but just looking at these three, what is it that they all have in common? they bypass the interaction! it builds a higher fence around you, and helps you live with only yourself more comfortably.
you can visit her page as she goes on to explain how we are all becoming interaction-retarded. the "y Journal" also says:
uuh, but before i go, i just wanna say that i'm so excited i finally (re)found thinkspot! Carissa, if you are reading this, i hope this doesn't freak you out!! haha, i know it sounds a bit stalkerish but no! your blog was one of the first blogs that i found once i started prancing around blogger and i enjoyed the simplicity, the calmness, the... lack of preconceptions, fakeness and so on. and the pictures!! and your cute little son! so i hope you don't mind if i'll just say hi once in a while! :)
wow. thank you! don't mind even a little bit.
peace, my brothas.

Hmmm...
I'm not really sure why I started it. I didn't even know what a blog WAS, but as soon as I discovered, I immediately started one. Why?
Well, one reason is to get into the habit of writing and having people actually read that writing. I loved writing interesting papers in college and getting praise from my professors. I guess it is that need for acceptance we all seek.
I've never kept a diary except briefly in sixth grade. I remember writing about New Kids on the Block, specifically. I had dreamt about them and wrote it down as SOON as I woke up. Important stuff.
I guess this is my G version of a diary. I don't write about sex because my parents and even my granddad reads it. I don't cuss strongly because I'm not sure who may read it eventually, and I don't blog negatively about work or anything that could get me fired. So an edited version of a diary.
Maybe one day I'll start one, be totally anonymous, and pour out my soul.
Then I'll freak out and delete it.
Ha!! hahaha! i can say i'm a newbie to blogger... here, i felt like the kid that sits on the side and watches other kids play. and i usually enjoy that... observing others! but then i saw my words in your blog... and let me tell you, they could've lit up chicago with the glow coming out of me! i don't know why i'm such a dork, but thanks for making my day!
and btw, i absolutely adored 'garden state' as well! i think you defined MY emotions so well in YOUR blog!! (i was serious about that lack of a balcony that i'm suffering- good thing yours is big enough for others!! ;)
yay for interaction!

I have this webpage that I tried to update as much as I could. Things happened and it got harder to do (one reason was that we were robbed and they took my computer!). A friend had a blog and I thought, hmm.. I could update from ANY computer! Wow!
I like to talk. I like to share my wacky little thoughts with others. I like attention. :) I've since added all the links to pages I had for my actual website to my blog. This is just an easier way to let friends and family know what's going on.
Especially for wedding updates. I have a blog for that too.
