QotD: Why I Blog
Why do you blog?
Submitted by littleduckling.
I like to talk more than people like to listen, I tend to be funnier on paper than in person (I'm a bit of a dud in person... I stutter a tad) and I think everyone needs to know my opinion on everything, especially things I don't know anything about!
It's ALL ABOUT ME!
I'm also a frustrated writer who can't work out a storyline to save her life (unlike mighty jalapeno) but can write short little funny blurbs about random things that happen to me or around me.

Bah, I can't get my characters to do anything! They just stand there, staring at me then blow raspberries and do whatever it is THEY want to do! It's so frustrating.
I might have to change the characters and stick them in different stories.
::sigh:: I need to stop being a control freak.
Wait, you'll have an opinion on this:
What do you think when someone says they didn't want to cc you on an email because it was too personal but then spills the whole story in person? Kind of weird, right?
Uhm... they respect your opinion more? I dunno, I never get personal e-mails from anyone, let alone personal e-mails that went to more than one person.
I say this bec it's nearly what I wrote.
Except it's written better.
My characters don't even show up. They call in sick, they go out on strike, their Grandmothers die. I've heard all their excsues. At least yours stand around an ignore you.
Well, maybe I wouldn't like that either.
I wonder what we have to do to get them fired up.
Try to fire them?
So sweet and completley untrue that it's written better!
And they ARGUE with me! Can you believe it? I had this one story where I was trying to get this character to do something. Instead, she looks at me and I can just FEEL her rolling her eyes at me!
Disrespectful!
Then she starts listing the reasons why she would NEVER do what I'm trying to get her to do.
God.
... maybe this is actually a sign that I need psychiatric help?
Also, what does it say about me if most of my CHARACTERS are insane? Mental illness is a constant and pervasive theme in all of my stories.

Use the PM thing here-- it's a good deal.
I'll write to you.

Yes, I agree, everyone needs to know your opinion on everything.
If I may be honest, here, I don't think you are a dud in person. I personally find your blogging MUCH funnier because I know how you sound and would say it if I were hearing it in person. Your indignant tones are so much funnier as audio vs just text. I think all these people who only know you online are missing out on a whole other level of your humour because they don't hear the audio portion.....nevermind those fabulous eye rolls of yours. :p
