I’ve been using BlogSpot. I think its Google owned, at the very least Google’s official blog is on BlogSpot. I chose it because I felt I owed them for GoogleEarth.

So far its good. The main con is that it isn’t the best for networkig with your friends. Otherwise its easy to use and simple to customize.

In the real world, as opposed to the one created inside my head, no one is as critical of me as I am. Sometimes you need a friend to show you the truth, to pull the blinders off your eyes and expose you to the true reality of a situation. A new viewpoint on things combined with a recent conversation made me realise things aren’t nearly as bad as I thought.”

Nah, emotastic is more like “My parents won’t let me go to the party on Saturday. Oh, woe. Woe is me. I hate everyone in the world. I think I will go listen to mix tapes while slashing my wrists again.”

I like Blogger, by the way.

Oh, I agree. But that’s emotastic if you’re 16. If you’re 22, I feel the word has a different definition.
