about posting

I know I have been here before.  I guess I could go back and check old posts, but it's not that important, really.  I love the idea of lj or blogger, but I struggle with the execution.  I follow blogs (google reader is the key) and I really enjoy blogs in which average people tell me about their normal and average lives.  I enjoy people, at least

I think the whole idea, from what I read of it, was that it wasn't supposed to condense the whole day necessarily. That it was to at least write one sentence about the day.

That's my take on it, anyway. I don't really like the status updates and I'm not really sure about Twitter. But the way I read the description was talking about remembering the descriptions of things past (her daughter's nursery school sinks) and things like that, and that doesn't sound like a status update.

So I think it's something like - at least commit to put pen to paper, so to speak. And see what happens? Maybe a one sentence ... not precisely stream of consciousness, but... thought of the day of one's life?

I don't know, I will have to see how it goes. I am preternaturally wordy, and I so relate to... well, everything you said in this post about blogs and posts and friends and people and interaction, so it's kind of... do I want to remember my life? Should I share it? Is it even worth writing down?

*sigh* Life is complicated and knotty. Starting is the hardest part for me, really. I am not sure why it is so hard to go from thinking to doing. I live in my head too much, I think.
