Blonging Survey/Meme

I found this meme at Kristen's site the other day. I've seen that it is going around. I wanted to blog about something tonight as Jason is at a show, I didn't feel like going to a concert with Chrissy and I was too tired to have company. I watched Lady and the Tramp on TV though - I hadn't seen it in decades. It has always been one of my favorite tear-jerking Disney movies and I was just tickled to see it. Anyways, here's the meme.

BLOG READING

How many blogs do you read regularly?
I read about seventeen regularly. There are a few photo blogs I visit and of course, I'm a avid fan of Flickr. I don't get to surf very much so I only get turned onto blogs through the ones I read so keep up with the linking people!

How many are written by women? By men?
Pretty much all are women. I do read Rev. Ed when I get a chance, and I believe he's a man :) He's actually quite poignant and I highly recommend you give him a read.

Are they all Christian? How about the same denomination?
Nah, they aren't all Christian. I don't think at least. Most of them are, though. A person's religion doesn't deter me from reading their blog. Well, I take that back...If you are a satanist, you can be rest assured I won't be reading your blog ;)

What kinds of posts do you like the best?
Best - humorous. I need funny. Daily. Poetic is a close second. If I know you on a personal level then any post is better than none and if I don't know you very much, all of your posts are great because it means I'm getting there.

What kinds of posts are you most likely to comment on?
I suppose whatever strikes me. Whatever I relate to or want to give support and or empathy for...Whatever makes me laugh :)

What makes you add a blog to your favorites list/bloglines? Or conversely, what drives you away from a blog?
Well, I don't have a blogline and if I do I don't know how to use it. I've noticed that I'm not added to others because they aren't added to mine. I apologize for that, rest assured you are added to my favorites.

What makes me add: If a blog belongs to someone I know or if it makes me laugh, think and learn. It is hard to find people to relate to for me so if we have common interests, that does make things easier :)

What drives me away: Excessively judgmental opinions i.e., anything overly political (On any side, as I have weaned myself of politics for the same reason most people wean themselves from television), anything that goes on and on about the entertainment industry or those involved in it (Not because I'm all for it, but because I don't care about those people in any way, I just like the arts for the art).

Don't get me wrong, I don't think people shouldn't have thoughts in their heads, it is just that I've been through the whole ranting about the whole world thing and I'm just over it. There are more important things to think about than what everyone else is doing in their private lives. Angst is for teens ;) (That also means if all you do is complain about how stupid everyone is and how smart you are, I probably won't read your blog either).

BLOG WRITING

What’s your favorite kind of post to write?
I love it when I am inspired by something and can write eloquently about it. I especially like to make people laugh and cry all at once because combined, it is (In my humble opinion) the greatest of emotions. I call it...Um...Sobble. (Sob and cackle together). I like to make people sobble. I feel equally blessed to be able to write something spiritual that inspires someone else or helps me to understand some bit of scripture or life lesson even better.

I also like to confess all my sins and blessings to the world. Thank you for sharing them with me.

What do you think is your biggest strength blogwise? Biggest weakness?
This is a hard question because I do not believe I am consistent in any of my strengths and weakness. I believe I bounce around more often than not. But, I'll do my best.

Strength: Articulate and colorful writing.
Weakness: Randomly arbitrary and boring writing.

What do you want to change, if anything, about the way you blog?
I would definitely like to learn HTML and get my own domain.

How many times a day do you say the word blog?
I don't think I really say the word blog many times a day, but I do write it once in a while. :) I might say it once in a while too. There are - sometimes - interesting things I talk to Jason about in regards to what someone has blogged about.

Interpersonal

How many bloggers have you met in real life – not counting the ones you knew before they started blogging?
None, since we aren't counting the ones I knew before they started blogging :)

Were they what you expected from reading their blogs?
Sadly, I cannot comment on this.

Got any interesting stories? Do tell!
