Remember when blogs were all the rage?

I feel like blogs were a fad of... 5 years ago, maybe? Don't actually remember. Myspace pages flooded with "customized" HTML were another fad of that time span, I think. I'm wondering if anyone remembers the personal sites people used to have. Those pages on angelfire or similar sites. Crap that was plastered with random pictures of themselves nobody really wanted to see. The horrific graphics - music notes or butterflies floating up and down the screen. Some random song automatically playing as soon as the page loaded that nobody knew how to stop for a while, so we just had to mute our speakers.

Yeah, I avoided all of those. And I've always avoided blogs. I've journaled pretty much my entire life and written in a manner I've known was stereotypically "entertaining." Or even worse [selon moi (p.s. my writing is peppered with random french phrases cuz that's how i think)] some stuff I've written has gotten responses that it was so "poetic" and "moving, beautifully written, you've really spoken to me." ...Gag me, please. I've just never had the desire to write for the sake of other people. I've written to give home to my thoughts, put them somewhere concrete so they can organize themselves and be understood [by me so as to better help others understand them].

I dunno. I guess 2Easy and Ill Dapoe have gotten into my brain a bit. Maybe I'm just an easily influenced person who likes to pretend she's better than everyone else when, at the end of the day, she does and enjoys all the same shit they do.

....no. I am better. *shrug* Deal with it. lol

Point is I'm not making this blog all pretty and customized with colours and fonts and pictures. I'm really not even sure if I'm gonna promote it at all -- as in I may not let anyone know I have it, if you find it and read it and enjoy it, awesome. If you happen to tell your friend, great. If not, d'ah well. I'll keep writing.

I just miss writing and I have a lot of half-formed thoughts in my head that need a little bit of assistance putting themselves together. So... here we go!
