Someone made fun of me today for having a blog.  Actually he made fun of blogs and I told him I had one.  "What, you don't actually write in it do you?".

Yeah, I kind of do.  Or at least when I had time, I did.

I think he was thinking of blogging as being like twitter, where you write about the boring things you do all day.

My blog isn't like that.  My blog is more like the ramblings of a adolescent girl just trying to "figure out life" and find her way in the world.

I hope it isn't like that, either.

whatever.  Thinking about what my blog is like is boring.

I don't think people would lump your blog into that general "blogs are silly" meme if they read it. It really is both entertaining and interesting. Other people have told me they think so.

A few times I've told someone I have a blog and they've kind of chuckled about it. But I'm pretty sure that if they read my blog for a while they wouldn't laugh!

Yours is the same way, even if for different reasons... ;)

He totally just doesn't get it. Looozer.

In all seriousness, I like your blog a lot, and I find that it contains thoughtful commentary as well as humor. It is well written but not over-produced.

People complain about how technology has isolated us from each other and made us dumb, but then they turn around and scoff at ways that technology connects people and offers the opportunity for meaningful dialog and expression.

I complain and scoff about both of those things respectively!
