These results are pretty funny when you consider that I have lived much of my life in the South. I guess it didn't rub off.
I’ve been very swamped this week and haven’t had a whole lot to say, hence, no new posts. However, I have been spending a lot of time reading random blogs (that “next blog” button is dangerous). I find myself occasionally getting very sucked into certain blogs. They are usually the very personal ones. There’s something compelling, yet voyeuristic, about reading these blogs. Some of them are really fascinating.
My blog has been fairly impersonal so far, and I don’t see that changing. I’m comfortable talking about my interests and what I did over the weekend and celebrities I dislike, but not about my innermost thoughts. I suppose that many of these blogs have taken the place of a written journal or diary (although the word diary sounds like it should have one of those locks with the little tiny keys). But they are in a completely public forum. There is something really brave about this. In a way, I admire that kind of honesty, but I also know that I absolutely could not be that open in a public forum.
I’m curious what others think of this.
This is my new favorite site. Those of you who know me know that I enjoy the misery of celebrities, particulary when it’s fashion-related. I guess I just feel that if you are rich and pretty and have stylists at your beck and call, you should never look too awful. Yet I am proven wrong again and again. This wonderful site provides me with loads of celebrity schadenfreude. And please, please, please, check out their Chloe Sevigny section.
