number 8

ok so here we go, i'm back after a bit of a break and i've got a little bit of time to focus on this and keep you interested in me...

first i've got to remember all of the little rules - like the fact that i don't use capital letters anywhere on here and that if something is fairly obvious i should have a crack at explaining it further, whereas if it's a bit ambiguous i can leave you to decide what you think about it...

blogging as a secret identity... i'm relitively new to this game and so one of the things i think you do in a new situation is you try and figure out how everything is meant to work, and i came across an astounding discovery, people who blog, never mention their blogs or the fact that they blog or anything about it freely in the real world (possibly why i climbed on board so late), and in as a general rule of conformity, i don't do this either

consider the scenario... i am reading a friends blog and i particularly like it, and then i remember whilst talking to him (or her, it could be a lady) face to face that i enjoyed the post (and this is where i think it gets interesting).... rather than saying this to him (or her) right there and then i make a mental note to post a comment next time im on their blog. i think this is insanity, why not just tell them about it, and yet, there's something so wonderful about it, its like out own special community

and here's another thing... the things we talk about on our blogs don't necessarily reflect the kinds of people we are in real life and the subjects we talk about (hence the secret identity theory) it gives us a whole new chance to be interesting, or funny, or deep and insightful (i suppose i fit into this one), i think this is quite a discovery due to the fact that as far as i know there's no limit to the number of these things we can have so it is possible to continuously reinvent ourselves to suit everybody

which is the real you? is it the one that your friends see in everyday situations? or is it when you're on here late at night baring the deepest darkest depths of your soul to whosoever might notice?

something to think about....
