Okay, so I have been contemplating blogging for a long time and I never thought that I would want to be a part of another addictive source. However, I need a “grown-up” medium for me to vent to and to share our lives. I guess what I am saying is that I “think” I am ready to stray away from myspace. I know for some this may be a shock, but you know, I am over it. Today, I saw my friend Danielle’s bulletin and she said “hello friends, goodbye friends”. I sat there and really started to think about her message. I have been on myspace since the beginning, and I mean the beginning. I spend countless hours staring at my page and other’s. I have re-connected with many high school friends and continue to stay connected with many friends that I no longer see on a regular basis. However, I have lost friends because of the site. During my many hours of “lurking” I begin to feel left out, sad, angry, etc. Because those friends that you classify as your “top friends” turn out not be your friends at all. Now, I’m not saying that I don’t still love all my friends but since we have gotten married things have changed. Some may say it’s because of me, but I have to defend myself. I can go on for hours but I have to just get it out there that I am moving on. I will be changing many things within my life and I look forward to sharing all the new wonderful things through my blog.
I’m so glad you have a blog now! I feel so special to be linked on your page ::beaming::
Can’t wait to hear all about your life as a newlywed. Have you heard of google reader? I highly recommend it for keeping up with blogs 🙂
I love that you have a blog! I love keeping mine up and have been contemplating one for just our lives vs. cooking… you might have just motivated me to make the leap 🙂
And w/ regards to your blog… there are life cycles to friendships, some last your whole lifetime while others die off. I think it’s a good thing. Sometimes a person just isn’t “good/healthy” for you or your life anymore or vice versa.
