Voted most likely to trip over their gown at graduation

I have to say I've always been suspicious of bloggers. It always seemed like people deluding themselves with the thought that the masses actually care about their opinions. I guess I understand the arguments about blogging revolutionizing the democratic process and changing the way we communicate and receive information. For example, the recent reports that much of the information we are receiving about the violence in Myanmar is thanks to the Internet and blogs. But for every worthy blog there are probably 10 that are filled with rants that just scream "too much time on my hands." I've kept a journal since seventh grade that is full of all my idiotic rants about boys, parents, friends and the world, but I never kidded myself with the thought that other people would want to hear about it. But I guess in the era of reality television there are people who are eager to broadcast their lives and peer into the lives of others.

So, if I feel this way why am I blogging? Basically its for a class. But, that doesn't mean I won't enjoy every minute of it.

This is my attempt to stand on my online piece of the soap box. Although, after being voted "most likely to trip over their gown at graduation" in High School I understand that I would most likely be stumbling over the soap box. This is me, preaching to the world and laughing at myself trying to be taken seriously as I fall on my face.
