Who's here?

Out of interest, do any of you like gossip?

I’ve been thinking about this, and am wondering about the personality type that likes to blog. Of course there are many different genres of blog, but I’m specifically thinking about those of us who waffle without direction. I say whatever’s on my mind at the moment I happen to sit down and start typing.

I’m thinking blogging may well be providing a substitute for the gossiping I’m missing in real life. You see, I like to hear gossip, but don’t like to pass it on (I might get caught!). And reading other blogs is like that, but more perfect. If you do happen to spill the beans and repeat what you read, it doesn’t matter because most bloggers are absolute sluts with their hit counters!

By the way, did you see mine went over one thousand? A part of me is thrilled (the blogging part!) but then I’m gripped with fear. What if someone I know reads this? I know, I kind of know some of you, but it’s not the same because we don't see each other in context. We don’t really exist to one another, and my life has no bearing on yours (so I’m chuffed that you choose to hang around for a minute or two and read my little page!)

But… I dread the day when anyone I really know might swing by. And what’s worrying me is I have told someone about this blog. A friend in America, but she’s from real life, and I’ve realised she’s still in contact with a lot of people from here. I told her a while ago but she hasn’t said anything, so I’m hoping she’s forgotten.

If you're here, Cathie, please say hello. But please don’t tell!
