To be completely honest

I have very little idea what I'm doing here

(i so prefer verdana over arial)

Okay - that last post s b4 m - was in response to dan's sex before marriage - I posted an exerpt of that post very quickly because while I was typing the longer version Nick came home. So I saved it here under sb4m and selcted the Just Me viewing audience and noon can respond boxes thinking that noone could read my half formulated thoughts and I could go back to them at a later stage and formulate it all properly. So I was kinda shocked when I saw a reply from my best friend.

I'm just glad I erased the stuff I was formulating about her - kinda anyway like I said I thought it wasn't able to be read by anyone but me.

I also have no idea how to put a "my favourites links" like some of the other blogs of seen and what's a blog group?? Also I've read that post about Scoring and ranking but I still don't really get it (Oh I really like this song! "Our love is like water all over me all over you.")

Um yeah so - oh also I feel so inadequate - I'm just saying - I actually feel like a child when I post replies on some of your sites - I'm 21 in like so many days and the way some of the things I type are coming across I feel 10!
- I'm not talking about your replies if there are any to what I say - I'm talking about my feelings about what I type when I re-read it and cringe. And I feel boring - but I stopped writing in a diary a few years ago and I miss it so this is kinda the same - the only thing is the potential that other people will read it - when we were younger teegs and I used to swap our diaries with one another but we stopped when we felt like we were editing our thoughts - well I have been editing my thoughts here too - and it's not dishonesty or fakeness like I read on that newagenomad post about her leaving because once you get to be friends with someone you become fake - it's because the things I think about sometimes have very little to do with ME and alot to do with my friends - which brings me back to that sb4m post.

Food for thought.

Since, ultimately, I would hope you are blogging for yourself and not for others just keep writing what you want to. And there will always be many of us, myself included, who enjoy reading what you have to share.

I blog for myself. That other people read and respond is a huge bonus.

Keep writing; I'll keep reading.

If you can be consistently boring over the course of a few months, you may find yourself with a following of regular readers.

Keep it up. You'll be surprised with the results!

(By the way, I don't know how to do that "favorite blogs" list either. I wish I did. Then I would recommendother sites.)

Hey trina..

you should check out what a n00b i was when i first came to JU... i was always guilty of typing, then thinking... It's very important you dont let anything cloud your judgement, yes, write from the heart, but just respect where anyone who you disagree with is coming from...

I am glad you are around!

BAM!!!

To make your own lists of links in the "Blog Navigator" margin, just follow this patented four step program!

1) In the margin underneath the "Score / Rank" bit, click on "My Account" 2) Click the "Manage Site Custom Links" check box and click on the "Edit" button.
3) Follow the on-screen guide to create your Section Headings 4) Add all the relevant and insane links you can think of!

You can now look all web savvy like your friends!

I'm pretty guilty about second guessing what I should post about and how I should word what I say. Sometimes it's because I don't really want to offend people and other times I think some things I think about are totally uninteresting to others. This is weird to admit because I do blog for myself to analyse my thoughts but I do spend a lot of time thinking about people other than myself. I'm just like that. I also don't want to be misunderstood when I write and if I chop and change what I've written too much, it doesn't really have the same flavour by the end of the article.

Hrmm... it's cool to see that even commenting on other peoples blogs helps you learn about yourself more...
