I now love blogs.
I used to think of them as a simple-minded waste of time for people without a real life. Who would spend time reading other people's ramblings on whatever? But like a wine neophile, I have had to experience various blogs to appreciate those with great body and lingering notes. Man, there are some really interesting people out there in the world! Duh.
What I can't decide is....will I enjoy writing a blog of my own? Or will this become like the many journals and diaries I have started over the years? The purchase of a fabulous blank book (cover of leather? hand made paper? yummy fabric that I couldn't resist?) with the first two pages scribbled on and then discarded to a bookshelf with promises to come back someday? I am somewhat comforted by reading other blogs which are apology filled based on serious gaps in entries. So I've decided I'll just be the best darn blogger I can be and to hell with standards of any kind. So there. Looking forward to lots of guilt for lack of writing? Stay tuned!
The subject of blogs that have mostly caught my attention are about knitting. but from there I've found knitting bloggers who also make me laugh, share great book/movie/music ideas and generally make me feel connected to a bigger world than my itty bitty one.
I'm a loner at heart. I love time to myself and for the most part find too much time in the company iof others to be draining. How I love to curl up with my knitting, book or rental movie and enjoy a few solitary hours wherever I can grab them. How lovely to get to know people through blogs, but not feel the drain of commitments of both the time and attention sorts on my already busy, crazy life.
