So why do you do it?!

Last night I was sitting down to dinner with Adriaan, Bronwyn, Cam and Ingrid. We were served a lovely assortment of pork and chicken kebabs with gado gado which was very refreshing and tasty. So tasty that I had seconds, and then thirds, and was contemplating 4ths.. I was surprising even myself with the appetite that I had. It was a very pleasant evening and after many beers as well as a few glasses of wine, a topic came up-

Do you blog?

Followed by, what do you write, why do you do it? Out of the four people at that table, three of us were bloggers and Cam, the one left out didn't do it because he didn't know what to write about. It was one of those moments when you realise how dominant the internet has become. There are so many people who are connected these days, and so many people writing emails or blogging that the world has become a much smaller place. This is a very modern society these days, and it's great that we can share and be a part of a wider community so easily. To put all of our blogging answers together- we blog because

• It saves writing a massive email, repeatedly
  
• It acts as an online diary/journal that you can rant to when a friend isn't within phone/email/face distance
• It acts as a timecapsule for our thoughts

So that's it for now.. my brain has stopped and I need caffeine, and a little bit of fresh air.
