I only blog in June and December.

Thus, I must blog again before December is gone.
Let's see, Where to begin? Let's begin by talking about why blogging formatting is generally uncomfortable for me. For one, the basic journaling approach where a person catalogs their life, and what they did, who they saw, etc. is boring to me. I've never been able to do that. While some of these things might come up occasionally, and naturally, I don't like feeling like I have to cover everything that is going on. I guess this is probably a pretty good reason why I'm not going into Journalism. Also, I like grammar and spelling and composition, etc. but I generally dislike proofreading and spellchecking such an informal stream of consciousness. It feels like one might be trying too hard, and for what reason? So, I give myself permission not to care about that stuff on here. Thus, should you judge me for spelling mistakes or having unwitty writing or whatever, I also give myself permission not to care what you think in these circumstances.
And now we've reached the point in the blog entry where I'm a little bored of talking about whatever to whomever, but still try to forge on for the sake of getting all my thoughts out there and making some sort of intelligent assessment of life. Well, I've tired for now, and I haven't shared all my thoughts, but I'm also giving myself permission not to have to.
Wow, what an entertaining entry.
So- why blog, you ask? I ask myself this, too, and while I haven't come to a satisfactory reason, I think I blog because this is the space that I can talk about what I want to talk about; the space that life doesn't give me to talk about the things I want to. The space people in my life don't give me. I will try to blog because I always feel better when I write- it helps me know myself. I like the element of blogging that is like it's a journal where people can give you feedback. And for the sake of knowing myself and letting others know me, I'll try not to censor myself. Easier said that done, but here goes!
