Top Five Tuesday: Why I Blog
I love Top Five Tuesday at SuperNanny Where are You. I wasn’t going to participate because it was Movie Madness day but I just thought this was an interesting topic and I couldn’t resist.
Here are the Top 5 Reasons I Love to Blog:
1. My friends were getting sick of me talking incessantly about Ryan Gosling and I think were about to stage an intervention. I really needed an outlet for my obsession and the internet seemed like the perfect place. *
2. I’ve always enjoyed keeping a diary but I found that when I tried doing it as an adult that I would break out in cold sweats trying to figure out what to write when I put the pen to the paper. For whatever reason, I don’t get those anxieties with my laptop. It just feels more casual and I like that. Plus there is the added benefit of being able to add photos to go with my thoughts.
3. I love the community that I have found through reading and commenting on other blogs. It makes this desperate housewife feel not as desperate.
4. Blogging gives me a creative outlet. I am so NOT a crafter or painter or knitter or sewer. Clearly, I’m not much of a writer (since I wrote sewer instead of seamstress) either, but I do find it to be a lot of fun coming up with post ideas and telling a story. The icing on the cake is getting comments on one of my posts.
5. I make a ton of money and get lots of great new products to try and review everyday. (Hahahahaha–that last one is totally false, but I hope that maybe one day it will be true.)
*Edited to add–I would like to ask that my bloggy friends not stage a Gosling intervention unless of course, you can somehow arrange it that Ryan was present for the event. Thanks. Really, I’m not that much of an obsessed fan. I just play one on my blog. (Actually I am that obsessed but do not need an intervention.)

I love your reasons. 2 3 and 4 should have all been on my list. I really should turn it in to top 10….

I’m SO with you on number four! I prefer to get creative with my words – as long as I don’t have a contract that tells me what I have to write

I like those reasons, and think I relate to many of them.
I quite like getting to know other people by reading blogs and hearing funny stories. 
Nice to meet you…and I look forward to reading more amazing things written by you. 
Have a great day

I would never attempt an intervention. I’m a total Wilco-head and Cusack fanatic. We are truly sistas in that way!!
