blogging

I have been blog-surfing. That's where you go and read other people's blogs...like, people you don't even know. There's this one girl named Heather Ann, and I love her. I don't know her in real life, but she's an amazing writer and I read her every day. http://www.heatherannehogan.com/
You should read her.

I love to read the blogs of people I know, but there's something about reading the blogs of people I don't know. I wonder what strangers think when they read mine.
Some of them are really funny, some are dull. Most are actually pretty dull. However....

This one is Cathy and I love her. She is mostly writing to those who know her, but I think you'll get a kick out of her. She's just done a really great blog entry called "Whoa! that's got like a lemony touch to it" that is one of her best ever.

I have a cousin who blogs, but I can't put her link on my site. She's all clandestine about her life. Kisses, dear cousin!

Most blogs are a little weird. Have you found this to be true? It's not good literature. It's not even very compelling. I read this one tonight by some man who used only English words with more than 18 syllables. I have no idea what he said.

I wonder what really makes a good blog....so I ask!
What makes you want to read?

Ok, I've heard all this talk about Heather Anne, so I finally get there. It is so funny. I hesitate to state the similarities I have with her for fear that you'll find out something, although I just read her last blog.

Hi Lisa! No idea what your mysterious comment is refering to....

Thanks for not linking me (although my comment will have a link). It's not that I'm so clandestine, it just, well, I can't really explain it.

Aren't you glad I introduced you to Heather Anne? she's amazing! I read dooce.com as well because she cracks me up, but I don't know your stance on profanity, so I had never recommended her to you before.

I like authenticity and hilarity in blogdom.

My stance on profanity? I have always thought it's use revealed small minds, but I am learning that is not always the case. It does seem a shame, though, as there are such a vast variety of words in our language.
