Sorry. Muse-less today.
So. I love bandwagons as much as the next girl, and now I'm going hitch a ride on this purty one that's travelling through town.
Why do I blog?
Radar managed to provoke a burst of panicky introspection yesterday, by publishing Chesty, Fingers and Donnie's blog addresses. My initial reaction was yay! for them - they're all Site-Meter Whores in their own right (well Fingers would be, if he could get it back...). And for all Donnie and Finger's self-conscious waffling, their posts are funny. And Chesty, well she's thought this through... and she knows what she's doing... and she writes in an engaging, yet thoughtful way. I heart Chesty's blog.
However, the lurkers came and lurked in their hundreds, and the question of 'Anonymity' arose. W, Mex and I (to a lesser extent) suddenly freaked. And then calmed down. As is our wont. But as panic ebbed away, it left the question - What are we doing here? What's the point of these myriad blogs? I know that MrB doesn't get it. He doesn't know why I want to waffle endlessly about crap. And then put it Out There. And he doesn't get how I can be friends with people I haven't met. And he's afraid of freaky internet-lurking freakoids. As are we all...
But I like it. I like writing, and it's something I don't get a chance to do much of anymore. And I can write sentences like that and go hmmm, that's wrong, but you know, I just don't care. Coz I know what I mean. And other people know what I mean too. And that's all that matters.
This blog exists within a bubble. A bubble that will sometimes expand to include my Real Life, but that will often just be me and my puter. And my thoughts...

Awwww. I heart your blog too.
But not it a girly blog love kind of way. Just platonicly.
Or Platonically. They both look way wrong.
Anyway, no kinky stuff.
Well that's too ewwww for words.
Yours is a lovely grown-up blog, with a creamy neutral easy-reading template.
Mine is kinda green. and kinda dodgy.
They're from different sides of the tracks Chesty... It was never meant to be.
Hey, don't judge my blog on it's sophisticated beige exterior. My blog can slum it too ... It's done the hard yards.
Those bubbles look like the bottom of a urinal after the 4th schooner
Hmmm.
Thanks for that shroom.
Chesty - Your's may be a Bad Blog come good. But mine's still back in East Compton. Yo.
Oooooh.
You have a shadowy, living-on-the-dark-side Blog.
Well it was getting a bit girly in here
Self-conscious waffling ??
C&C is to TWG as Brown Brothers Everton is to Grange...
Hmmm... I never pretend to be anything other than a waffler.
Unlike someone who said, in repsonse to the question 'Do you have a blog?' answered "Yes. It's brilliant. It's called the Whine Guide"
Now TWG is fun... But brilliant?
In terms of brilliance I'd say TWG is your $2 cleanskin.
Quaffable, but with an iinexplicable aftertaste...
I'd say you didn't know shit about wine and less about blogging then...
Looks like you got a bite, real 'im in now....
