I've come to realize that I've been categorizing my life based on my blogs. That is, I write certain things in one blog and not another. I currently have three blogs. Two are on Blogger - one for my daily life, the other for school (this one), and the last one on LiveJournal for the writer in me.
The daily life blog is a picture blog full of photos of myself, my family, and my friends. From time to time I scribble inanities or musings in there. It's quite pitiful because no one ever leaves a comment. However, my friends do read it I believe.
The school blog is full of assignments. The sort of cheem (or profound) sounding stuff you'll find a stupid kid writing in a desperate attempt to impress. In fact, I've got a friend who has been counting the number of "insofar"s I've used in my assignments. I apparently introduced him to the word.
The LJ writing blog is great for blogging about my writing exploits. It's a great community. Definitely more lively and interactive than Blogger in my opinion. People drop comments freely and are more than happy to share their thoughts with you or give you assistance.
Perhaps it's the neat-organizational-freak in me that's acting out through my blogging. It's telling me that everything in life has to be categorized or compartmentalized. That it's neater this way.
Or perhaps it's me showing different sides of myself. The fun-loving side, the academic side, and the writer side. There's a difference between the last two by the way, writing is my passion and hobby - it isn't as much of a chore as assignments are. Although I have to admit that it seems like a monumental task when I'm faced with writer's block.
Well, now that I'm done ranting, I'll go post this on all my other blogs. A first!
Qn: Do you find yourself doing what I'm doing? Blogging in different blogs to show your different circle of friends the different sides of you?
