purpose of blogging?

I use this blog as a kind of journal or diary. I used to write things down in a little black book, but I prefer this way of accomplishing the same thing: I can type much faster than I can write, and I don't have to worry about dragging my writing-hand's fingers through ink.

And since no one I know reads this blog, I feel free to write most anything I want...though I still wouldn't write anything that I'd be embarrassed for anyone to read.

Still, I wouldn't mind if people I knew did read this blog every once in a while! How's that for passive? Some of the things I write, some very subtly and others much more brazenly, are begging to be noticed and asked about. Pitiful but true, though mainly pitiful.
