Not in so many words

May 7th, 2008

I really have so much to say and, yet, not yet time enough to say it.  Or, in some cases, it is not yet time to say it.   Make sense?  Good.But I was tagged not too long ago by Jacinta on her blog, One Little Acorn.  In my mind, Jacinta is lovely and charming and very exotic.  She lives in

Melbourne and is in the Arts industry and therefore is leaps and bounds more exciting than me.  I am so glad my life, both on the internet and otherwise, is full of talented, interesting people because I feel less boring for it. I am not very good at memes, however.  So here might be the shortest possible answers ever: 

1. Why did you start your blog?

I felt like I had a lot of words and ideas running around in my head and thought it would be a good idea to get them out.  You know, to settle me a little.  Obviously it totally worked.

2. How did you come up with your blog name?
 I like to run.  A lot. I have a pretty firm grasp on that.  Less so on  JustLive and JustBe, but I can’t seem to stop trying to get there.

3. Do your friends and family know about your blog? What do they think about it? 

Yes, mostly.  Over the last three years more and more. They don’t think much of it, except maybe that I’m weird which is nothing different than than the twenty-five years before I started this site.

4. How do you write posts?

Usually in one shot, usually not more than a day ahead of time, and usually I revise and rearrange way too much, which is, arguably, not obvious anyway.

5. Have you ever had a troll or had to delete unkind comments?

Yes, but usually they take it upon themselves to email me privately.  Because these people obviously have super-strong backbones and tons of integrity.

6. Do you check your stats? Do you care how many people read your blog? If you do care, how to you increase traffic?
 

I never even put a Site Meter on my old Blogspot site.  This site’s host now lets me see all kinds of statistics and summaries and reports and sometimes I even remember to look at them.  Hello to all of you not commenting!  Love and hugs!

 7. What kind of blogs/posts interest you?

All kinds.  Especially those involving embarassing stories that make me feel like less of a nerd.  Yes, how selfish of me.

8. What do you like and dislike about blogging?

So far, so good.  Except having to moderate spam comments.  That bites. 

I can never seem to tag anyone with a meme.  Instead I tag you all to go to the beach, or  to sing at the top of your lungs in the shower.  Or maybe, if possible, both.
