To Blog or Not To Blog...

Doesn't it make you sick sometimes the words that have been turned into verbs?

Blogging

.

Scrapbooking

.

Text messaging

.

I am guilty of the first.

.

The second I've never done in my life and hopefully never will. But since I don't have children I don't think I run the risk of endeavoring to bore people later on with the banal minutiae of their early years.

.

And I do text message people generally when I don't want to talk to them or because I HATE talking on the telephone.

.

But I digress; my question is whether to carry on with this blog. Don't worry, I don't expect an outpouring of protestations or encouragement. I just don't know if I want to continue.

Another blogger recently deleted her blog and when I asked why she answered that she thought it was "shite". I actually enjoyed her blog and told her so and explained that my blog was truly lame but that I didn't care because I enjoyed it. But then it occurred to me...

.

Why?

.

Seriously, why? There is a self-indulgence about the whole thing that troubles me mainly because I'm not a writer. I read some blogs and they are really well written and thought provoking and here I am making my silly little lists. So why am I doing this? Why do I consider this fun? Am I just another fat girl looking for attention? I honestly don't know.

.

Aside from not writing anything truly meaningful, it has totally distracted me from emailing (ooh, another one of those "verbs") with my friends. I used to be a very good correspondent and now I throw a bunch of energy into this silly thing instead.

.

But then again, maybe I will indulge myself for a while longer. I do enjoy doing it. Maybe I shouldn't examine it too closely. After all, I'm not hurting anyone.

.

I just don't know.
