tales of an ordinary girl

I've been tagged by glomgold for a meme: Why do you blog?

Hmmm... that's a difficult one. My first thought is that it's because I like to ramble on about whatever is going on in my head. I enjoy the community, the people that stop by, and reading other blogs. I've always enjoyed "people watching" not so much for what's going on at that moment, but more for the insight into what makes us who we are as humans.

Mostly I enjoy the conversation that can take place in the space of a blog post, whether it's on my blog or someone else's. Sometimes it's nerve-wracking to put myself out there, but mostly it's fun to learn more about the world and in the process learn more about myself.

Sometimes it can be overwhelming to keep up with everyone. Like glomgold, I'm a "completionist". I must read every post. But I like it that way and I'd miss all of you if you disappeared. And I don't think most of you know what an influence you've been on my life.

If you're reading this, consider yourself tagged. I want to know why you blog.
