Could someone explain Blogs to me...

[Mephista]

I just recently got into the blog thing, and I rather like it. Many of my friends from college have them, and it's nice to see what they're writing about. Also is nice to post interesting or funny things in, or to plan trips to visit people, or to talk about major lifechanging events. Well, those aren't too often, but there will be a post sometime soon about the apartment we bought... I've set rules for myself about the blog: I won't say anything bad about anyone I know, or make obscure references about people behind or in front of their backs. There's enough stress and unhappiness around these days as it is.

For anyone who knows my away messages on AIM, those serve a blog-ish purpose also... to talk about what I'm doing in an abstract and amusing way. =) And I suspect that people read the away messages and enjoy them, and I assume people do the same with my blog.
