Concerning Blogs and Andy Greenwald

As some of you may know, I read alot. One of the beter non-fiction books i’ve read this year was by andy Greenwald and entitled “Punk rock, teenagers, and Emo.”

Which is basically an exploration of the term “emo” and where it came from. It’s a seriously awesome book btw, and in the last chapter Andy’s talking about blogs and their effects on teens lives in this glorious 20th century.

Yeah, so he’s telling th reader about a blog her read by a guy ~named something with a “T”~ and how this guy really liked this girl who kept turning him down, but eventually she said yes.

And it turned into a classic break up. Guy calls too much, girl’s blog STARTS TO BECOME MORE VAGUE., addressing mysterious and leaving messages for them. The bf asks who she’s talking to and calls but she’s always busy.

After just three weeks, it was over. And mostly because of that blog.

My point of this entry is that you shouldn’t hold bakc in a blog. If you don’t want to use real names, that’s your deal, but you can’t just stop posting a huge thing in your life.

Like my ever repeating posts on bf-ex-bf-ex-bf again Cameron. a lot of them say the same thing, but uh, NO DUH.

It’s a big deal to me so why wouldn’t I post and re-post about him? I’m not gunna quit just because certain people read it. they can call me a stalker if they want, even though that’s obviously not me, thats Amanda.

And my blog kicks ass. ‘Cause I don’t leave things out. I say it if it’s on my mind and then others read it. And that’s what it’s all about.

DAMMIT THIS KEYBOARD SUCKS!!!
