Friday Fun

I had started this at my old blog as a weekly thing. Probably won't be weekly here because I can never guarantee that I'm feeling witty enough on Friday to participate in a survey or meme of some sort.

So here's one that I just got tagged for. Wanna do it? G'head. Leave me a comment so I can peek at it when you're done.

1. When did you first start blogging and why? August of 2004. She made me do it. I thought it sounded like fun and I wasn’t getting any creative writing done, so I thought writing about my bo-ring life would at least be writing SOMETHING.

2. What don't you talk about? I don’t talk about things that the hubs does that drive me insane. I did once and he read it and flipped the f*@% out. So yeah, I don’t say much about him. I also will not talk about politics or religion. Unless you ask me to. But even then, I don’t know.

3. Are you and your blogging persona the same person? I think so. I think my blog persona is way more entertaining though. Mostly because I can actually think before I write something. I talk with my hands a lot, so maybe it *is* more entertaining to watch me talk than read my posts. . .

4. How do you use blogging to build friendships? I’ve met some really cool people online. It’s fun to see what’s going on in other parts of the world. And it’s fun to see that a lot of it is exactly the same as it is out here in Podunk.

5. How would you describe your writing style? I write like I talk. I can’t always use written words to emphasize the way that I do when I speak, but I really try to make it sound like I’m sitting in front of you telling a story rather than just writing it down for posterity’s sake.
