I started a blog. Does that make me a dork?
My friends kept telling me to do it. It was totally peer pressure. Well, that and I have an endless need to prattle on about random, inane things. It's completely generic and unsophisticated.

Who else here has a blog. Help me out. I feel like a total nerd.

28. A responsibility I take quite seriously.
Well, at least as seriously as anything. Which is not *real* seriously.
I'll try, anyway!

8. *sigh*
I have made the full transition.
Now I must go purchase more trendy clothing and grooming implements to offset my perceived dorkishness.

10. I don't but I think it's a great idea for you
because you really do tell your kid's stories well. And you can put the blog url in your sigline on sites like this one and parenting sites and increase your readership. Good luck!

16. Does that make you a dork?
No more than wearing glasses make you a person that doesn't have perfect vision. :P

Embrace it.

20. I've got one. And I've even got a link to it in my sigline.
Kinda sad, I know. But I like having a blog. It allows me to do all the writing I don't get to do in my day job as mild-mannered reporter.

24. It's great!
And for the record, you're probably more of a nerd than a dork :)

I occasionally blog on my MySpace page, and you're correct, it's a healthy outlet. Much like DU!

I'm unclear on the whole nerd/dork/geek distinction. In time, perhaps I will come to discern the differences.:P

27. Very nice blog there!
I could photoshop some, err, buxomness in your pic there, so everyone is happy! :rofl: Nah ...

I don't have one myself; I never got friendly with the idea of it. But then, I'm perhaps likely old-fashioned.

39. Thanks, babe!
She picks up on discussion of every kind of ailment conceivable. And then she *develops* said ailment.
Drama. Queen.

44. Keep an eye on that...
You may have a budding Hypochondriac on your hands. As I am one, it is no fun. May just be childhood curiosity, but if it keeps up into adolescence, you may want to get her some help before it gets out of control, like mine. :)

36. Nice blog! Have you ever read Tammy Lynn Michaels' blog?
It's a good one too and yours reminded me a bit of hers--in a good way!

She's Melissa Etheridge's spouse.
