The great existential question

[martinemonster]

Since exam periods are times for general musings and big, mindblowing realizations, I figure it was time to hear from you guys.

Please tell me: Why do you blog?

I blog for a few reasons.

I blog in the hope that this electronic journal will be found and give others an idea of what this time and place were like, at least from my perspective.

I blog to see if my friends feel the same way I do about events, and ideas.

I blog to keep in touch with those far away. We can discuss things in ways that phones calls and Instant messages can not.

I even used to try and write fiction for a little while, but I never could seem to post any of it.

I like your posts. They're always serious and meaningful. I blog to get the gratification of comments and to give people an idea of what my life is like.

And I like the idea of reading my blog after 15 years when I can't remember all that's happened and just get an impression of past-me.

I do that now with stuff I wrote a few years ago, and it takes me back to that time, for better or worse.

P.S. I think you do a good job at giving people an impression of what your life is like. That's one of the best parts of your journal.
