A Meme about Blogging...

Sunday Stealing: The Pretentious Blogging Meme
(yeah, it's only saturday, but I wanted to get a head start)
1. How long have you been blogging? I started blogging in 1999 - I was 19.
2. What made you start? I used to keep a written journal, but felt that it wasn't all that safe -- what if someone found it... (that happened a lomg time ago and it wasn't such a good thing) ... still I thought the risk was worth it b/c I liked looking back on what happened in my life and what I was feeling at the time. It was nice to see myself changing over the years. Anyway, at the time, I had lived with my then boyfriend. I used to get bored watching him play Madden football on whatever game system we had at the time and hogging up the tv, so I resorted to entertain myself with the computer. I started at LiveJournal.com -- soon after starting my blog, I met some nice people within the LJ community. We used to meetup every night for webchat and became pretty close friends that way. It was like I discovered a whole other life out there. I was interested in reading about other people's lives and they were actually interested in mine.
3. Who inspired you? No one really, unless my boring ex-boyfriend counts... :-Þ
4. About how many hours a week would you estimate you spend on your blog? I'd say about 3 hours total. Quick blog entries here and there. And then there are times when I do a redesign (I have to start saving screenshots)... when I spend a LOT more time.
5. What kind of experience or background do you have with writing? Only my own personal experience. Nothing professional, can't you tell??
6. Talk about how you come up with blog topics. Where do you get your ideas? I usually blog about things going on in my life. If I have a thought I want to write about, I do it here sometimes. Photos are fun to write about -- Memes are good too :)
7. What or who inspires you and your blog? Me and my life!
8. Where and/or how do your brainstorming for your blog? I do all my brainstorming while I'm writing my post. I don't usually have anything set before I start writing. It's kind of just a really long rambling session.
9. Do you have any blogging rules or guidelines you follow? I try to make up rules for myself sometimes, usually as an incentive to blog more often. It doesn't seem to work though. Most things I try to do (like 100 or so words per post for 10 posts. HA!!!) never last. I am trying to use more photos in my posts... b/c I enjoy reading posts with photos, so I figure other ppl who stop by would enjoy those too.
10. Is there anything you will not blog about? I try not to blog about my political views. I don't think I ever really have.
11. Do you have any sort of a publishing schedule in terms of day of week or topic? Nope...it's pretty random.Labels: Memes |

Obsessions
|
|
January 18, 2010

I thought I'd give this little dozer a try to get back into 'it'.
Instructions: Answer the Current Obession category and then explain WHY you chose that response. Easy enough?
Book: Travels in Alaska - by John Muir. After a recent trip to California and Muir Woods I have become obsessed with this man.
Snack: Golden Graham cereal - dry. Never eaten this cereal before ... my first box, and I'm obsessed. It's amazing with milk, and a simple satisfying snack without.
Restaurant: Right now it's the Montville Diner, b/c they have the best Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad (minus the Caesar dressing) with Balsamic Vinaigrette and the best buttery croutons ever.
Beverage: Pepsi Throwback, they really need to keep this shiznit ON the shelves. Not just for a 'limited time'. I mean, it contains REAL SUGAR!!!
Decor: Japanese stuff. Don't have a lot of it yet, but slowly accumulating.
Actress: Sandra Bullock has been redeeming herself lately in movies such as The Blind Side and All About Steve...but I'm not yet obsessed. I do enjoy movies with Angelina Jolie, Reese Witherspoon, Katharine Heigl, Kate Hudson & Scarlett Johansson. However...my fav is Nicole Kidman, for years now.
Movie: The Hangover! Ah! A movie that IS NOT a book made into a movie... but if this was ever a Movie made into a Book that would make for a very interesting read
TV show: Glee is AWESOME and so is Cougar Town. My FAV is MadMen!!!
Hobby: Playing music, again. Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursdays I don't make it home until around 10pm b/c of rehearsals...(hence the lack of blogging) I love it though.
Band:
Song: Flightless Bird by Iron & Wine -- Been obsessed with this song for MONTHS!
Meme: Eh -- don't have one.
Blog: Kevin&Amanda!! Amanda is soooo creative. I look forward to her new posts everyday, and if she doesn't have one, I'm bummed out. so, yeah, I'm OBSESSED.
Lover: It would be totally wrong if I didn't say 'My Husband'.
Friend: Not obsessed with this friend, but it is the friendship that obsesses me, in a way that I'm in awe of it still, to this day. Though it's been more than 5 years in the making and having met once during that period and still we keep on goin. I'd count her as one of my very best-friends in life....Check out her blog, and make a friend!
Quote: "When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe." - John Muir (of course)
Peeve: Ignorant People!!! I was at the airport a few weeks ago and my husband told me something that really just PEEVED me. He told me that there were these 2 guys that had just gotten off a plane and were walking by laughing and pointing... they were pointing at a man who was on the floor on his knees, praying. What is wrong with people?!
Sport: I enjoy watching Italian Soccer!! But I'm not obsessed, since I rarely ever catch a glimpse when I'm out and don't know what channel it's on at home... LOL
So, I'm on a kick, and going to visit blogs again, and from those blogs I will visit the links on their sites and hop around the bloggernet to find new blogs to follow. I purged my bloglines account of all the blogs that either haven't posted in like 6 months or, that I really just don't care to follow anymore. Time to add some new ones!!!
Peace out, cub scouts!

3X Thursday

1. Have you made any life-style changes lately? If so, what are they? If not, are things fine the way they are, or would you like to change something?
- My most recent life-style changes include how I eat. But that happened in September. Vegetarianism, here I am. The next life-style change is to eat healthier! I'm not eating meat anymore, however, my staples currently are flour & sugar. LOL
2. Do you believe in the institution of marriage? Why/why not?
- Tough one. It's tough because the 'institution of marriage' is a religious take on things. I believe the purpose and meaning behind it is good and all, however, take the God part out. I am agnostic (believing in something), so to ME the institution of marriage is this : be committed to one another physically and emotionally. Grow and learn from each other, how to live harmoniously and with respect. Create life between each other... -- something like that. LOL.
3. How's life treating you these days?
- Fanfriggentabulous...thanks! I have it good. I do. I've been getting a little stressed out with the wedding planning and how fast things are moving. I feel like I'm a little behind. I'm behind on my 'goals' for this quarter for work, only because the goals I set for myself at the beginning of the quarter have been put on the back-burner b/c of new priorities in the office. FUN!
- Besides all that, life is treating me damn good!
