You wanna what? Uh.. okay.. |
So, I read a lot of blogs. A lot of blogs. All kinds of blogs, in fact. Maybe too many sometimes. There are only a few blogs I read kind of religiously, though. Those are the blogs that make me want to have a blog. Not necessarily to vent or save people from my opinion but because I want to make someone think a little differently. Make them stop and go "Huh. I've never thought about it that way." or the more common (in my case at least) "I disagree with everything you'v- oh. *cocks head to the side* That's... pretty amazing." It's always written so nicely, too. So eloquently and thought provoking that even if I disagree, I can understand and almost change my opinion because of how it's written.
That's not the only reason, though. I want to make my own self think a little more deeply. Perhaps it's because most of the blogs I read are written by people out of high school (most are long out of college too, at least according to them) and thus, older than me. Their thoughts are more mature than mine and usually deeper too. They make me think and I like that. The blogs I'm referring to are drama-reviewing blogs. See where I'm going with this? I want to be able to look at the dramas I've watched and NOT just like them (because I'm very easily sucked in). I never know what's going to happen. Even when it's apparently painstakingly obvious what's happening and how it's going to end, I still don't know. The best example I can give is if I'm watching a mystery show, most people seem to be able to figure out the mystery before the final big reveal, y'know? I, on the other hand, cannot. I'll be sitting there, wide-eyed, biting my nails until the very end. I think there's a word for this. Oh. Right. Gullibility.
Seriously? |
Be prepared for a lot of this. |
This is going to be a mess. *facedesk* Quite the optimist, aren't I?
What I mean to say is: I love all the blogs I read and they've, more or less, inspired me to start my own and try and create as much food for thought for them (and anyone else who might stumble across this and read it) as they have for me. And try and be funny in the process. Or die trying.
Probably die trying. Come to my funeral? There'll be food.
Damn. The font was supposed to be Arial. Why is this so hard! OTL TT TT
ReplyDeleteI tried Blogger too when I first started, and I found it less than friendly.. You might want to consider WordPress.. It's more consistent and has more tools in the dashboard. It's way better to try it out now and change now (if you like it) than build a whole blog and then try to migrate everything over.
DeleteWelcome to the blogging world, Hope :)
I think I created a WordPress account back in the day. (I'm not old, what am I saying?! lol) I just don't remember my email/password stuff. I'll try it out though, thanks!
DeleteWhat you said ^ All of it, haha, is almost why I started blogging too. I think we might even have some of the same influences. xD
ReplyDeleteHope you keep it up! And if you change platforms, do let me know. As a Blogger person, I agree it can get rather annoying at times, and I don't always know why. I've just learned to use html to fix things when it goes haywire.
I've spent all afternoon on WordPress (I forgot I created an account in like 7th-ish grade) and feel like murdering someone. My sister's been messing around with the Blogger functions and understand how it works but that's about as far as it's going.
DeleteHTML is like if Chinese and some Alien Martian-like language had a love baby (but in English), that's what HTML is to me. I like to consider myself an intelligent person, but I'm sure you can't get any more ignorant when it comes to computers or technology in general. If I wasn't brought up in the digital world, I'd probably be as savvy with a computer as your average Great-great-great Grandmother/father. Three greats are actually probably better at computers than I am!
AND I READ YOUR BLOG~ Kfangurl's too! You two and Amanda at Outside Seoul are the main people I was talking about. Stephanie at Crazy For Kdrama too! There are a few other's who was more post-specific, while you four were entire-blog-specific. Is that a lot of pressure? :)
Loads of pressure! I love it. Bring it on! xD
DeleteI look forward to seeing what you write!
