My First Time…

So…about 2 weeks ago, I discovered blogs for the first time. I had heard of them, mainly in the verb form and would hear people talk about them on TV and in reference to My Space or Facebook, but didn’t realize there were whole websites devoted to this. The first blog I read was this one. And then somehow ended up on this one. I love them both, and find them both hilarious, enlightening and comforting. Both are very normal women, with very normal lives, and they write because they like to. They don’t write for other people, they don’t write to win awards or for money. So…I decided to try it. Because as a child, I wanted to be able to have a journal/diary SOOOO bad. I never could manage one…mainly because I would get bored and/or forget. Hopefully that doesn’t end up being the case here. But, I have to admit, there is something that is liberating about knowing that I can write whatever I want, and no one in my direct life would be able to read it (mainly because I am going to keep it completely anonymous). But someone might. And maybe they will like it. And maybe they will comment and give me advice, or commiserate with me. Or maybe someone will read my blog and feel better about themselves, as I have after reading the 2 above. because I like knowing that someone else doesn’t want to like cats, but does. So, I’m going to try it. Maybe for a day, or a week, or a month…guess we’ll see….
