Where do we go from here?

Well, yeah, you know, Im at the office (still Uni), I should be transcribing, but to be perfectly honest, if I never transcribe again, itll be too soon. Ive been doing it forever now, but some of them are so weird I never get past that 5 min/hour mark. Or maybe its the man slaughtering the radiators above, the anxiety of being here or the grilled chicken thats flapping around in my head. Whatever the reason, blogs are back in fashion (or on their way out, its hard to keep track these days).

Now, there's a lot of things I didnt/dont get with the MMBH (massive multimedia blog hysteria).
Maybe Ill just do a list and change my mind someway half thru? Ok, ready?

• Not fashion blogs, but the amount of fashion blogs. There are whole communities dedicated to showing off the users daily outfits, there are fruit-sites, you know, so why so many one-person blogs/opinions about something as (lets face it, I know it hurts) mundane as fashion?

• The "Nice-rules", the anti-cyber bullying campains, the idea of a 'blog community' with similar opinions and focus, all while its normal, even encouraged, to write whatever they like about britneyjordanbushidiocracy. So, what, internet is for you and your little friends and people who doesnt agree with you should "respect your space and privacy"? There are such things as actual paper journals, Word (tip: name the folder 0811, Nov 08 or My thoughts) and, again, communities where you decide who reads your journal. Noone likes a troll, but if you dont feed it, itll go away.
• I think that all bloggers realise the absurdity of blogging about everyday life, and (rightfully so) question why anyone should read it, thats the charm. Assume we're all in it or not in it for different reasons, the fun of reading blogs is, for me, finding those out. However, unless youre hysterically funny or attractive, you and the antics of your cat will only generate a very small group of readers. There's no shame in this.
• I think that viewing blogs as some homogenic group/phenomena is silly and boring, and call for higher education/internet restrictions. Some of us do enjoy the possibilty of keeping mystery, beauty (I might not strike you as such at the moment) and fiction close, we are very much allowed to do so.

Today is december fourth, Im starving, stressing out and see myself being finished/collapsed in about two weeks time. This is my advent calender.
