While I avoid LiveJournal like the plague (too much incessant drama), I still find some personal blogs to be of some interest. Sure, the commercial blogs are nice to read to keep up on stuff, but personal blogs are where it's at. While my own blog isn't overly personal at this point, it still offers a glimpse into my life, where I'm going, and what I've done. People may think they don't have a story to share, but that is simply untrue. Our day-to-day experiences are what make us who we are, and thinking that our lives consist merely of our 'achievements' is pretty shallow. I want to know *who* you are, not *what* you've done. Sure, things we do also shape us and mold us, but not to the extent that our daily lives do. I’m with you on this one.
