Why am I blogging?

• Facebook isn't really that personal. I have 467 friends, and if I didn't feel so guilty about it, I would probably delete 367 of them.
  
• Blogging is something that is actually productive as far as internet activities go.
• I have enough free time to have one.
• I want people to listen to me.
• It's trendy.
• I might make new friends. People that don't know me might find that I'm an interesting person.
  
• People who write a lot get better at writing. This is a great place to do writing that I am actually interested in what it says, and not just making up sentences to complete an essay requirement.
  
• Maybe I'll be a famous blogger someday.
  
• I can vent on my blog using pseudonyms or general terms and people that actually know me will know what I'm talking about.
• It feels good when people that aren't immediate family members comment on things I write (like Facebook statuses).
