I stumbled across this interesting idea through a blog explosion banner. A documentary of blogging?! Well, it got me thinking of everything that I've gained, lost and found through blogging. I know that the writing showcased here is entirely brand new, but I've been writing online for the past four years at [a polka dot], formally: Grrrl on the Run, Searching for a Punk of My Own..., Adventures of Turtle but reached fame during it's stint as The Hipster Brigade. I've meant amazing friends: Sabrina, Justin, Barrios, formally of www.stabthings.com; and many many more. I've made enemies too, but I don't think I'll publicize their whereabouts.

The dry spells, when writing became just too much for me, I started writing What Grand Ideas! Although, it was started at the same time as The Hipster Brigade, it was rarely used, but now I find myself more a part of the livejournal community. I think the one reason that I continue to share my writing online is the fantastic experiences I've had: meeting new people that I would never had gotten a chance to meet otherwise. The internet makes meeting people limitless. It is really such a small world.

This is my plea to 59 Bloggers:

I've been blogging non-stop for the past four years. It was picked up as a casual hobby to document my boring years in college, but I soon figured out that I was gaining attention. I've used my blog to find hook-ups, best friends and boyfriends; as well as to showcase my one true love, writing. Now, there are pictures as well. Although, I started blogging with nothing in mind, I find it a great release for my limitless amount of words that can be found floating in my head, and to help medicate my occasional bouts of insomnia.
