The most difficult part about writing this blog was writing the first line. I've never written a blog before and the only one I've read before was Sullivans "why I blog" so I'm not really sure how this goes. I never really saw myself as much of a blogger. I'm very opinionated and like to talk but I've never really been one to write about my thoughts. Blogging to me reminds me of those annoying kids on Facebook. You know, the ones who think they need to post their life stories as statuses. The people who think they need to fit it all in one status so they end up typng lke ths. No vowels needed I suppose. I usually just glance over them but on the rare occasion that I do read them I just laugh.
I don't know if you're supposed to put paragraphs in blogs but I can't indent so I'm just going to assume that's a no. I guess the most surprising thing about writing this is how easy it is. I'm already at 175 words and I've only been typing for like 2 minutes! Before creating this I thought blogging was kind of lame. Just picturing some person sitting behind their computer. I would always think of blogs as blogs people would post on myspace. Of course, i had myspace in middle school so my friends posts consisted of why their parents suck for not letting them go out to the movies at 10 o'clock on a school night. Therefore my opinion on blogs was kind of skewed to think they are for depressed people venting out their emotions about why life sucks. While I knew people used blogs to talk about real issues in my mind I always just pictured them to be used for over emotional teenagers to vent.
One thing I've noticed to be really challenging about this is NO AUTOCORRECT. Texting with autocorrect has spoiled me, I actually need to capitalize my I's it doesn't do it for me nor does it auto put the apostrophe in doesn't.
I definitely thought your blog was the best one I've read yet. It was super honest and made me laugh a few times. No autocorrect is very challenging, I'm not used to capitalizing my I's or adding apostrophes but I always find myself correcting them because I like proper grammar, unlike those Facebook posts you talked about, those bug me a lot too. I can't wait to read more of your blogs!
