day 12: how you found out about Blogger and why you made one

welllll i think it was mostly because i knew a few friends/classmates/acquaintances that were blogging, and since my ability to keep in touch with friends seems fairly limited to facebook & email, blogging seemed to be a similar method. i also am a big fan of journaling, even though it's something i haven't had much time for lately (and for a long time, didn't seem to have anything significant to write about). i believe writing to release thoughts and internal turmoil is extremely beneficial, but often writing free-hand is more time consuming than simply typing...so the blogging thing seems to be a fairly natural extension of the real journal i still keep and occasionally fill with thoughts more private than i feel comfortable sharing on the world wide web...
