To Blog or Not to Blog…

That is the question.

Ah, blogging. The true way to tell people what you think. If you’re using a pen and paper you can only show the people in your family and the people in your town but blogging makes it so you can tell the world what you’re thinking. I’ve been blogging for about 6 or 7 months and it’s added something to how I write.

Time to compare

I think that if I had the choice between paper and pencil VS. Blogging I would choose blogging. Blogging is a lot easier for me because typing does not take that long and its like playing the piano. Your fingers have to move in the same way. The sound of your fingers against the keyboard and the smooth flow of your hands moving across the keys…you can’t get that from a pencil and paper. Sitting in a class room listening to the teacher talk and talk about language arts and telling us what writing should be from some book compared to just getting to write and let people know what you think all over the world is so much better. Getting to learn in a different way and learn from other students and hear there views on things is (I find) more interesting because its more than just what a book has to teach you. It’s someone else talking.

The Reasoning

I write. I write a lot and to be able to write freely about something that I might be shy about is great. If people like it that’s great, but if they don’t like it its better then standing up in front of a class and have people laugh or point or snicker. You get to connect to people that you would have never met otherwise and you can find out what other classmates are really like. You can make friends with someone in your class that you might not have ever talked to. If you go and read their blog you get to know what their like and who they are.

I could talk forever about how great blogging is but instead if you want to know what it’s like to blog then you should find out for yourself.

7 Things You Don’t Know About Me

I was challenged by my blogging friend Amanda to write 7 random things about me. I wrote one of these before but I think its a good idea to re-write them so you can learn some new things about me! So…here are my 7 facts about me!

  1. I am a Ukrainian Dancer and have been with the group here in the Comox Valley for 8 years. I have very good friends in that group including my Best Friend Inanna.
  2. I like rollercoaster but at the beginging I get really scared about what’s gonna happen when it starts and then after I want to go again and again and again.
  3. When I was 4 I feel off the arm on my sofa and cracked the back of my head open on a wooden truck with a really sharp edge. I was rushed to the hospital and had to get 8 stitchs.
  4. When I was 9 I was chasing my dog at my Nana’s house and I tripped over the toe of my pajama pants (yes it was the middle of the afternoon and I was wearing pj pants) and I fell and my wrist was really hurting. During the next week my wrist was still really hurting so we went to the docters who, sent us to the hospitable, where I got an x-ray and it turns out I fractured my wrist.
  5. I write songs. Lyrics and music.
  6. I tend to get sick alot.
  7. I am 6″ and my shoe size is 11 mens, 12 1/2 womens.
