I'm glad you did this meme; fun getting to read more about you!
ReplyDeleteBlogging is odd in that it can change shape as time passes ...
ReplyDeleteI began blogging for family and friends, then realising that people didn't have time or that I had become too 'removed' from my more intimate emails home, the blog reshaped itself as my electronic journal ... a place to note things, to think, to store things like photos, ideas and authors.
Slowly I became aware of an audience and was more uncertain of what level of intimacy I wanted to write at ...
Lately friends have mentioned that I don't reveal that much of who I actually am and so the 'meme' seemed like an idea. :)
Well Missus, it took me quite some time to find this blog (only a couple of days old) as you have been busy busy busy posting here!
ReplyDeleteI'm very pleased to see you writing about yourself here, I am lucky enough to know you in person, and maybe things like this will give others a little glimpse of how bright and funny you are : )
