Why People Blog

I've created my own list of why people blog (some of which may apply to
me):

1. No one else will read my damn poetry when I show it to them, maybe they'll read it by accident.


2. I love my boyfriend, I really love him, we'll be together forever, or for
   as long as I keep this blog.


3. I love my girlfriend. See #2 for a further explanation.


4. I'm abroad and it's really really fun. Want to know what they do for
   excitement in Nimkatusk on a Tuesday night after the bars close?


5. Being a student is so tough - it's like the hardest thing anyone can
   imagine, it's much harder than work, but no one can really imagine it,
   because I'm the only student in the world that has ever been, or at least the
   only one who really understands what it means to be a "student".


6. I am an artist - see, art! beautiful, beautiful art! Someday you'll
   see it on your wall, if I ever feel like parting with it, it's just that
   good! No one has ever painted a cat the way I can paint cats.


7. Any combination of 1 and 2 through 6.


8. My dog/cat/ferret needs a voice. Isn't that freaking cute?


9. Amo a mi novio. (substitute Finnish, Portuguese, whatever).


10. Amo a mi amigo de muchacha.


11. I'm drunk again - so f-ing, unbelievably drunk. Wanna see
    pictures?


12. This is my first blog entry. Blogging is really kewl. You're
    reading this so you must be kewl too. I might be drunk.


13. I am a geek. Regular people shouldn't blog because they don't have
    anything important to talk about. Let me show you my Perl code I
    worked on last Saturday evening.


14. Would you like to see my thousands of pictures of
    everything...absolutely everything?


15. There are a lot of quotes that really mean a lot to me, here are a
    few...


16. I don't have a boyfriend or a girlfriend or any friends, but love....blah
    blah blah blah...love....blah blah blah blah...love....lonely so unbearably
    lonely....blah blah blah blah...love....blah blah blah blah....

And finally, I reserve a special place of hatred for one solitary blog, MyPurpleTulips.blogspot.com,
which, if you follow the link and are extremely lucky, will lock up your browser
for a while as it plays "Close to You" in a background
.wav.
