Why ask why
Why do you have a blog?
Wow, good question. Not the first time I've been asked, but a good question nonetheless. I tried to answer this a few times and I'm never pleased with my articulation. Lets see if I can do any better here.
Similar to the thought process that goes into my getting dressed in the morning, there are many reasons why I do what I do. Some make sense, some don't. Here are some that might make sense to the voices outside of my head.
1. Edited diary - After a 7th grade note was read to people it was not meant for, I've learned not to write most thoughts I don't want others to know. So, my happy little blog is sort of a shiny happy people sort of diary, in a non-Michael Stipes sort of way.
2. BFF KIT - There's a small group of us who keep blogs and keep tabs on each other. After you turn 17, you don't really call each of your friends everyday to see how they're doing. So, you tune into to your friends any way you can: chat, blog, email, xmas cards, evites, cel phones, whatever works in today's wacky times.
3. Ah, the life of an ar-teest - I like to write. I like to knit. I like to train my dog. I'm probably one step above mediocre on all three. But, my grammar isn't shabby; my creations don't fall apart; and I have the only greyhound in the 310 who can sit. (Those of you who don't know greyhounds don't understand the significance of a greyhound sitting like a normal dog.)
So, there ya go. Read the blog, check the updated website, you could even call and stop by. If you're nice, I might show you how my dog sits on command.

4. Because you can, you don't need a reason why, and if other people don't like it, they don't have to read it.
That's one of my favorite reasons for writing mine.
