Blogging High School

As I approach my one year anniversary of being a blogger, I’ve come to learn that blogging is no different than high school. There are the bloggers who think that they are better than anybody else and their blog is the best thing since sliced bread. There are the bloggers who are the geeks, the ones that nobody ever talks to but they sit there, writing day after day just waiting for a comment. There are the bloggers who are picked on by trolls (bullies) and there are those bloggers who are like the head cheerleader - so popular that sometimes their popularity outshines what they really do - blog.

Whenever I tell someone I have a blog, I’m continiously asked if I’m one of those “mommy bloggers.” The ones that sit home all day online and write about what color the poop was in the diaper. Honestly, mommy bloggers don’t really do that at all. I’ll see pics of their kids, they’ll mention something one of their kids did but they never really continiously talk about them.

When I tell them that my blog has to deal with NASCAR a lot, I get the “Wow, rednecks know how to use computers” or “So a sports blog? Are you a lesbian.” It gets old. It’s like with the other PPP users who were kicked my google, we were put in a clique, aimed, and then attacked.

Why can’t a single, straight, college girl in her late 20’s have a blog without being put into a clique?

For the love of God, why can’t we just blog without prejudice?

Either they just plain don’t understand or they’re just jealous they don’t have the smarts to put something together so they try to make themselves feel better by attempting to put you down. Don’t let the morons get to you.

I hate the phrase “mommy blogger” too, because it insinuates that such a thing is a bad thing. Even if a woman is a SAHM and wants to talk about what color poop is, why do people think that’s a big deal? The world is full of different people and if we all did and enjoyed all the same things, how boring would that be!?

that’s interesing; because that is true. never really thought of it tho…
i’m one of those ‘no one really looks at her blog’ ppl. hahaa!

(sorry i haven’t visited your site in a while. i love it - it’s always so cute looking & you’re always thinking ahead about things. just like with this post.)
=]

i can’t believe you really added mine to your ‘peeps’ list!
i never post on mine hardly. hahaa

you know, i could probably use your help with wordpress; because i don’t know exactly how to make it look super cute.

I hope I’m not the Geek blogger. That would total stink. Maybe I can be a jock. I’ve never been a jock before. A blogger jock, I like it.
