I also read someone’s posting once that said, essentially, that the writer no longer would assume that any of her friends read any of her blog entries. It was a freeing experience for her, dropping any expectations of not knowing what topics could already be considered to have been “discussed” and which had not.

Blogging has been a way of keeping me writing, of finding friends I would have never found otherwise and been something of a lifeline when I was unemployed and losing hope. I also know I feel a responsibility to not waste anyone’s time by just writing to write and post something, anything.

(Nice to see you back, btw)

But when I think of you, that is most certainly not the first thing I think of. I have followed you on the interweb for a long time. I consider you my first ever online “friend” as it was. You and Aeris (ben) heh.

My personal reason for continuing to follow you is because I give you partial credit in the fact that I am in the place in life I am right now. You taught my how to code stuff in mIRC and then I learned HTML and so on and so forth.

Also if you remember lil-devil from our old chat haunts, he was the one who told me about the art institutes and is the reason I moved to Atlanta at all.

Meeting you guys in that little chat world and spending time and talking and learning did have an impact on my life, it was a bend in the road and one I’ll always look back fondly on!

You prolly think it’s dorky I put that much importance on it, but to me it was. I have always thought you where a cool chick, who liked the same kind of things I liked on the internet.
