So tonight I went to a serendipitous little gathering of the Raleigh Bloggers. Well, it really wasn't serendipitous at all, it was quite planned, but it was funny how I heard about it. I can't remember why but I came across Josh Staiger's site and started commenting like crazy and then even IMing him out of nowhere (HA) and decided this would be a fun thing to attend... and it was!
We talked about all kinds of technological things. They are very smart and you can ask them questions like "what's the best X" or "why hasn't Bill Gates developed X" and they will give you insightful and funny answers. :)
No but really.. they also inspired me to maybe make my blog more of a real writing enterprise rather than just a personal (and quite random) diary. (Not that they said anything about that, but just the meeting itself inspired me that way.) But I love the whole diary thing because I'm obsessed with the freedom to do whatever I want. I don't want to get too serious with this thing, and I certainly don't want to write about certain things and not other things because of what anyone expects. But maybe I could slightly invest more of myself in real punctuation rather than the ever-popular "..." and such. Actually none of you care about this (why are you reading this paragraph!) but yeah. I'm thinking of renaming this thing "sloppy stream of consciousness" because that would be more accurate. I really don't stop to think before I type but hey. It's the internet, and everyone's complaining about alienation and loneliness and stuff. I'm just tryin to keep it real!
Jasmin, I am going to try to recruit you for this group because it was a 4:1 male to female ratio. And you know you love blogging, and you love Raleigh! Admit it!! :) Wow I think you may be the only other girl blogger I really know... since my cousin Julia dropped off the face of the planet with her Xanga (yo what happened?) and Susan never got too into it (though she did quote me directly in her top banner which is funny and great). What are the statistics on gender and blogging?! Has any research been done on this?
Micah, are you gonna start your blog before... well, before Thursday I guess? Are you guys going to have internet access down there in Greenbo?

Gay or not, you know you love it! Heh. Let me know when your blog gets started so I can post comments like "blah that's gay!" :)
