the friday five

1. Explain why you started to journal/blog.

I wanted a place to be able to talk about stuff. personal or not-so-personal. a place to showcase information &/or links i found funny or useful or interesting.I used to keep a written journal religiously every day for years. i started in 1985. and i don't really find i have the time to write in that everyday anymore. but i DO usually find time to sit at the computer for a couple of minutes to check email and blog. It's just a little easier this way.


2. Do people you interact with day to day or family members know about your journal/blog? Why or why not?

Yes. a couple people i see in RL know about my blog. Actually I've told a few people, but i don't know if they check it out or not cuz they don't comment. Which is no big deal, sometimes there's nothing really to comment on. It's kind of a cool way to see what's going on in my life . . . or at least my head . . . and stay connected. Mostly i think my fellow PurkleCouchers that take a peek. And they pretty much count too, even tho i've never interacted with them outside the computer, cuz i probably talk to them more than most of my RL friends.*hugs*(i said "most" not "all" :p~)

3. Do you have a theme for your journal/blog?

Not really. It's just randomness of what i feel like writing about at the time. I remember learning about "stream of Consciousness writing" when i was in high school. That's pretty much what it is. And if you think THIS is random, you should see some of my handwritten journals *rolls eyes*

4. What direction would you like to have your journal/blog go in over the next year?

Not really sure. I think I'd like to maybe add more of my past. So others and myself can kinda see where i've come from physically and emotionally. But not too serious. I don't wanna be emotionally drained everytime i sit down to blog or have nothing but endless *hugs* comments after my posts. There's alot i think i have to say. I just need to find my voice.

5. Pimp five of your favorite journals/blogs.

Well, i don't really read many blogs, so i'm just gonna say
my girl Cindy's
my friend Doreen's
Chris Pirillo (of TechTV Call for Help fame)
Dave Barry (funny columnist extraordinaire)
andEagle (from the purklecouch)
OH! and i ialmost forgot about Linda's blog!!! *hugs*
