This post is a response to a bunch of my classmate's questions about blogging. See, when I tell many of them I have a blog, the first two things they say are 1) how have you managed to keep it running so long and 2) how do you feel about having your personal life all over the internet?
Well, let me address these issues individually. I've managed to keep the blog running so long (which isn't really that long at all) because I love writing. I'm not the best writer by any means, and I don't have a particular product that I sell with this blog. I just talk about my opinions and observations, and occasionally give halfway decent advice. Contrary to the popular belief of my classmates, I don't make money off this in any way, shape or form. Now when I'm in college I'm considering making a new blog to follow that experience, and I might put a banner ad on it to generate some pocket money. But for right now, money isn't a motivating factor. I'm currently writing because I like it, and people seem to like reading.
The second part assumes I have a strong internet presence, which I do not. I am not followed by loads of people or anything, and though lots of people have read this blog, they have read it over nearly three years. So, while yes my personal life is out on the internet, it's not really in anyone's face. You do have to search to find this blog, it doesn't just pop up on its own.
So there are some answers to some questions. I doubt the people who asked me will ever actually read this, but hey, it's worth a shot.
Also, I feel like sharing some of the blogs that I read, because they are really cool. Also, I'm sure they won't mind the advertising. I read more than this, but these are my current favourites. It's always nice to have extra food for thought! Yes, they are kind of girly. But I have absolutely no shame about it :D

I like learning about being feminine ^.^ I think it's good to remember that men and women are complimentary to each other, not against each other.

Quite possibly my favourite food blog. I love that the recipes are for two people- the sweets easily stretch to three!

I'm pretty certain everything on this blog is delicious.
Also, this website's peanut butter cookie in a mug rocks:
