| Blogs are an idealized, semifictional digital representation of the
self. Ideally, my inner self is actually quite hollow, and exists
in viral form. In other words, my xanga blog is a means to the
most certainly delicious end of posting on other people's xanga
blogs. They make you have an account.
I've tried to do it your way. I've TRIED to make a blog (several
times) but somewhere after post #3 I get really sick of it. Who
am I talking to? My loyal freeking fanclub? When I have
something to say, I'll direct it at those who need to hear it.
Communication should be like that. The rest of you suckers are
doing that too, but you just don't know it: out there, there's an
idealized, semifictional digital representation of the audience that
you so despirately seek. You construct your blog accordingly: the
dark, anime-loving rebel who thinks "deep" thoughts; the busy student
who only has time to post one-line "I'm so busy I could die"
complaints; the smart-ass cynic who enjoys lecturing strangers on their
blogging stereoty- WAIT A SECOND!
Crap. Blogging. You lured me in again, didn't you?
