Is there really any excuse for boring your friends with the mundane details of your life? Especially since their limited free time is probably already pretty well consumed by facebook, email and their own blogs?

To that question my answer has always been a resounding "NO". But lately, ever since I found myself obsessively / compulsively checking my friends' blogs I realised that my answer may have changed to "YES".

My reasons are as follows:
1. I am not that good at keeping up to date with what's happening in people's lives, and appreciate the opportunity to keep informed through blogging. Maybe others feel the same about me?
2. I love checking blogs when at work! I wish more people had blogs / posted on them more often.
3. I am planning to travel and prefer blogging to sending mass emails.

At this point I am not really sure what I’ll be writing about, or how much I want to reveal here. Reading some people’s blogs I feel like they have revealed more than I ever could, whereas with others you don’t get much beyond an “I’ve read this article and it was good” (you know who you are). I probably want to be somewhere in between – so I guess stay tuned…
