Loner On The Social Internet

It has become apparent that everyone around me is obsessed with blogging, twitter, and all of that other social internet stuff. I, however, have been slow to jump on the band waggon. I wouldn't say that I'm a very social person, I keep most of my thoughts and feelings to my self, and don't go out of my way to share much of anything with anyone. I don't have anything exciting to share with the twitter world, and even if I do, there is nothing that compells me to share it. I only have a facebook and myspace account because all of my friends have one and told me I wouldn't be cool unless I had one too. Sadly, after signing up, I came to the realization that they might have lied to me. I dont use them - I have no interest in finding old acquaintences from school, joining groups with people that have similar interests, or any of the other million things those sites promote. And, until about 30 minutes ago, I did not have a blog.

Like the other social phenomenons on the internet, I simply have not had any interest in creating a blog. Even if I had something worthy of sharing, theres a good chance I wouldnt, that's just me. I recently started finding my self slightly compelled to actually open up and share my thoughts with those willing to listen, or atleast read. Hearing everyone around me talking about their blogs and ocasionally reading their posts may have also played a role in my breakdown to finally start my own. Below, you will find a couple of blog posts that I wrote over the past couple of months, but never really did anything with. I wrote them with the thought that if I ever started a blog, I would have something to start with, and that has finally happened.

I don't exactly expect to get as "religious" with the whole blogging thing as some of my close friends are, posts may be few and far between. I have atleast cracked open the shell, so if I find my self wanting to share something, I might be a little more motivated to do so. I will say that I might have been sucked into the "25 random things about me" thing that has been going around. I am working on my list of 25 things, many of which no one, or very few people know about me, it should be interesting. You will probably be be seeing that post in the near future . Depening on how into this whole blogging thing I get, I may even go as far as setting up wordpress and get something a little more official going, but for now, this is my home. Welcome.

Oh, by the way, you may have noticed that the title of my blog is "?". I am perfectly content with this, however if you have a more fitting idea, I'd be happy to hear it.
