As a newspaper columnist, online writer, TV reporter, and podcaster I’m used to putting it all out there for the world to see, hear, and watch.  What I miss, however, is spontaneous feedback.  I’m not there to see if an audience laughs, cries, or notices that my hanky panky is showing.  Hence the excitement about blogging.  It’s like happy hour but without the alcohol (well at least you can’t see my glass of Chardonnay) — a place to swap stories, share opinions, and respond to one another.  My only objection is to the terminology.  There’s a reason that we love “seduction” and “whisper” and “philosophy.”  Think about it, “diplomacy” even sounds so much better than “fight.”  But when I hear “blogging” I think about men in flannel shirts having an axe throwing contest which although sexy in its own way isn’t really true to the nature of the social networking tool, unless they’re all online chatting about chewing tobacco. 

Through blogging we are sharing and confessing — maybe we could call it shessing.  Sounds like something you’d do down a ski slope.  In any case for a girl who spends all day inside her own head I’m thrilled for the opportunity to hear what someone else has to say.  Stay tuned for the love, sex, and relationship (not necessarily in that order) topic of the week.  Cheers! –>
