As of my latest addition to my bloglist i have 24 friends (real people) who have blogs that i am subscribed to! I love it! It makes for good reading. I have a few additional things on my reader but 24 actual people... wow.. i was surprised. Its too bad only like 5 people read my blog. I guess I can be cool by association.
Actually realizing how many blogs I read made me start to wonder who reads my blog. I know of a handful of people who have subscribed. (9 in fact, google reader told me so) The ones who leave comments mostly. Then there are some other friends who i know will check it periodically. But what about the random people I wouldn't think of, or even complete strangers, who read it. Thats kind of creepy. I don't think i put anything on here that would be jeopardizing but it still makes me double think everything before I write it. I try to avoid talking about people, especially my relationships with people, as that could get out of control really fast. Can you imagine if I blogged about the latest date i went on? And then the guy happens upon my blog via facebook and then reads everything? that would be no good...
The truth is that I write in my blog almost purely selfishly. Mostly because I like to write and get things out. In a way it is like a journal. I should probably write more in my real journal and leave this blog for things that are actually interesting to other people, but oh well. The second selfish reason is because i like the attention. I love getting comments! This reason accounts for a lot less of why i write than the first one, but it is definitely an added perk. The third reason i write is to waste time. Like today for example... i'm stuck at work from 8 am til noon. The library is almost completely empty and i'm so bored. Not to mention tired. Plus, while i'm describing how i feel, i'll add in that i'm freezing! The temperature is on the cold side, plus i just sit here. Goosebumps usually fill my arms fast and although typing makes my fingers cold, at least it keeps my mind off of the fact that i'm slowly freezing to death.....

I love comments too and I read your blog. I like being nosey :) Your blogs are always interesting though; you have a unique (good thing) writing style. Hope you are having a great summer.
I'm a totally selfish blogger too. I am a sucker for attention and love stalking others. I'm glad we can be blog friends AND real friends. :)
Well I decided to stop being a creepy reader. I read your blog pretty often, and enjoy it. I also blog at work to fill time and it is ALWAYS freezing! Usually I blog about annoying questions I get at the desk. :)
ms. kdig,
please do not freeze to death for that would make playing with you boring!
Hey, I like you and I like this blog about your grandpa. It's amazing how much elderly people can touch your life, even if they forget who you are before you're doing talking to them. If you need someone to go up with you and be a helper to tote your gramps around, I would love to! It would be fun.
