When I first started blogging, I wanted my blog to be less of a “this is what I’m up to” sort of deal, and more like a “this is what I’m learning, and it probably relates to some current event in my life” essay-type blog. I think it’s the writer in me, but I like having themes, if you could call them, to each entry. Plus, I like the idea of still keeping in touch with people off-blog, meaning we have to exchange e-mails or phone calls to actually keep up with one another. (Because really, just reading my blog and knowing what I’m up to does not constitute “keeping in touch” with me.) This way, we have something more to talk about in those off-blog conversations. I noticed I was deviating from my original purpose for blogging–although sometimes the typical “life update” can’t be avoided–so I’m going to try to go back to stick with what I initially intended to do.

I’ll read whatever you write!
Comment by sacrod 12.13.07 @ 3:24 pmKeba: I think I like writing more “deep” (although my thoughts aren’t really deep–it’s just a way of saying not-so-surfacey) topics because those things come up less often in conversations with people, so it’s a way for me to have some outlet–and to see what other people think. It’s not as easy with friends to be like, “How’s work? How’s your family? So, how do you feel about the materialistic aspect of Christmas?” (Although with you and a few friends, I *can* be like that. ;))

That’s so funny. I had/have similar intentions with my blog, but Aaron has these strong opinions about putting “deep thoughts” in the public sphere and always tells me to stick with the facts. But I’m with you - I want people to have to call me or email to know the other details of life.
