Katja tapped me with a meme a couple weeks ago and I didn’t realize it, so this is overdue:
Why do you blog?
Aside from my narcissistic tendencies, I blog because I’m a compulsive writer. It’s the form in which I express myself best. Before I started blogging, I kept a journal for about ten years, but that was a rambling, self-indulgent mess. Blogging forces me to be a better writer; it also gives me a forum for normalizing society’s view of what it means to be a 30-something American guy with a physical disability.
Oh, and girls. My blog serves me way better than any dating profile.
How long have you been blogging?
My first entry appeared on August 24, 2002.
Self-portrait
See the upper-left corner.
Why do readers read your blog?
I assume most of readers fall into one or more of the following
a) family
b) friends
c) friends of friends
d) anonymous gimps/geeks/fellow travelers who have some fleeting interest in what I have to say
What was the last search phrase someone used to get to your site?
“19th floor”
Which of your entries unjustly gets too little attention?
I’m gratified that anyone takes the time to read me.
Your current favorite blog?
MetaFilter, now and always
What blog did you read most recently?
Which feeds do you subscribe to?
Way too many to list here.
What four blogs are you tagging with this meme and why?
Blue, Sally, Goldfish, and PZ because I would gladly hang with any of them.
Thanks Mark for this tag – blogging is beginning to feel like a full time occupation, but I will enjoy doing this Meme.
Have you seen that I tagged you from my Book Meme from The Shire ?
No pressure !
Mark – I will respond to this, as soon as possible. I have been working on it, but fatigue and events have overwhelmed me. Sorry to have been out of the loop.
