Anyone?
That being said, I have my own but you can blame SD for that. I was going to write some articles on a weekly basis, but that quickly died because...well, there's just not enough time in a day.
I don't read other people's blogs, I think they're dumb and I don't like people. So unless they say. `I was beat in the face with a dildo' I'm really not interested in the guy/girl you're crushing over. but that's just me.
you don't see the point?! it's assisted suicide!!!!
Anyway, that's different. What is the point? I don't know. You got me, but I will say that this is the most interesting topic title I've seen in a long time. I was certainly very curious what it was about.
… computerized diary, but with the remote possibility of valid feedback, maybe even� dialogue?
... catharsis, like someone said, and also... confrontation, but without that messiness and obligation that comes from the pesky face to face. ironically, since it�s such a word medium, once you�re behind the bathing glow of the screen, the consequences of those words seem to be unimportant...? flip side (as Ty points out)� if well thought out, the calm clarity of the typed word can be a benefit over the messiness and unpredictability of real-time emotions that come with face to face?
... the delusion (illusion?) .... that warm and fuzzy feeling... that someone, somewhere considers our words important enough to take the time to read them?
... writing a blog online compared to simply writing in a computerized diary has the association of 'community', so with this participation in community we feel 'social'? it feeds a certain part of our internal, social animal, makeup?
� ones thoughts aren�t judged on their own for merit, they are judged by how many people are exposed to them?
� your existence is not valid unless documented (and viewed)?
� throw yourself at the digital wall and see what sticks?
i do not have a blog or any other such synonym... i'm not commenting about the g-string.
But until your best friend repeatedly stabs you in the back for the ugliest bitch in school, you don't appreciate the need for just a good outlet. By the way *turns his back to everyone* Can someone pull that blasted thing out...
Anyways, everyone needs an outlet, some people can get it done and over with a 'blog' others need pen and paper, some play violent bloody sports (why else would tyson bite some guys ear?). Sometimes it's just a bloody fight with the dickless bastard who still isn't gettin pussy. But for me it's throwin a killer party while my parents are outa town, and getting trashed.
The point to this whole thing? not a bloody thing, but I do know people who have avoided suicide because of these journals, so keep on writing ladies and germs.
My sympathies, really... it sucks to be there but it'll be over in a flash and then it won't fucking matter anyway. Besides, I can attribute my presence on Sindome to how my 'best friend' in high school treated me. I used SD as a vent and a place to feel for someone other than myself (my character). So, hooray high school angst! Harness it.
But I digress. Thanks Bias, for actually writing a thoughtful response to the original question. Most of just rambled and said nothing much ;)
about that g-string…
i -said- no comment...
finn.. if you -ever- scream like a girl again. i swear i'll shove a dildo up your ass...
that's just WRONG.
why� it's wronger then Aikao in a g-string!
lillith. i don't know if it's the alcohol, paint fumes and lack of sleep talking. but i really like your signature. i always forget to say that. but not today.. NO! NOT TODAY!
*cough*
.... just pretend this post never happened�
maybe i should have a blog� it would prevent such random ejaculations.
i'm picturing that awkwardly long and rather wet viagra skit that robin williams did in an HBO special, the one with the water bottle at his crotch... and the flinging... oh the flinging.
either way, hush, pass me a towel and lets never speak of this again.
ps. my head hurts.
pps. i never got the gene for snappy one liners but i can pick things up with my toes.
ppps. pretend THIS post never happened either.
A stranger phenomenon I've stumbled across in my ventures into the world of blog is the 'celebrity RP' blogs. Apparently these people create a blog in the name of their chosen celebrity then begin to 'interact' with other mock celebrities in an entirely IC sense, wherever possible associating their blog with the RL existence of the chosen celebrity. If you play your celebrity well enough to be noticed by 'approved' celebrities they can nominate you to join the 'game' in an official capacity, where-upon you become recognised as -the- [celebrity of your choice] within the group. Stalking/celeb obsession taken to a new level or just another outlet for repressed RPers?
Participants are encourage not only to write a blog as their celeb but also to create purely IC email and IM accounts for their 'character'.
So, you thought blogs were odd? It just gets odder…
Feel the fanatical celeb stalker in you stirring? Head on over to livejournal and search for studio54 or must_be_pop, or just pick a celeb name and read 'their' journal…
And for the record, I blog.
