I blog because....

The other night Curtis and I were discussing blogs...why people blog, what they blog about, why they make their blogs private, why their blogs are public, why they switch back and forth from public and private, etc. Then Curtis asked me why I blog.

I thought about it and I blog because...

It makes me happy
It gives me an outlet to write for fun
It entertains me (and others)
It keeps me in touch with family and friends
It helps me make new friends
It keeps me from being too lazy (I don't feel as guilty if I'm blogging AND watching TV at the same time, as opposed to just watching TV)
It's free and I like free
I can let the whole world know how awesome Curtis is and how I am head-over-heals madly in love with him
My posts can be as mushy lovey dovey silly mad happy sad as I want them to be
I can say things on my blog I would never say out loud
I can save my memories and share them with others
There is a slight chance people like to read what I write

and I blog because I like to.

And to share stories like this...

The other day I was at school doing work for one of the professors in my degree. She knew I had been having a hard time (mainly because I dread more than ever agreeing to help her out), so she mentioned to me that she ordered me some daffodils and that I needed to take them home with me. So, after I was done slaving away for her, I proceed to take the daffodils out of the vase she held them in on her desk. She quickly stops me and worriedly shouts, "OH, those aren't all for you!"

Awkward.

Apparently, only half were mine and the other half were hers. I should have known. Is was still a very nice thought.


So...why do you blog?

  1. Hey Jen!

    I was just wondering which professor it is that you agreed to help. Professor Vincenti asked me to help at the beginning of the semester and I said no; I just wondering if there was a slight possibility it was her. Anyway, good luck with the rest of the semester!

  5. I originally started blogging because I hoped people would come forward with their family heirloom pioneer recipes. But no one has posted any recipes at all. So now I blog with a hope that perhaps I might get a sense for the Mormon market, and its sensitivities. Maybe they're more curious than sensitive? Anyway, I love your blog Jen. You rock.
