What I like reading best in blogs, is about other people's lives. What is so wonderful about them is that people write here what they might not actually say to their families or friends. This is just the most amazing way to see how people think and feel, because the feeling of anonymity that this medium gives removes some of the constraints that are normally present.
I find people very interesting, but I don't always find it easy to talk to them. It's not really shyness, although that was a problem in my childhood, what it is is an awkwardness that I sometimes experience, particularly when trying to converse as part of a group. I have tried to overcome it, partly because it can be isolating, but now I've come to accept it. I may be somewhat out of step with the rest of society, but here I feel I can be more connected. Please don't imagine that because of my awkwardness, I am friendless, because I'm not, but my circle of friends is not a large one.
So, I'm going to look for really interesting blogs and I'm going to be reading them. The sort of blogs I'm looking for, are ones that are well written (preferably), ones where the person writing them isn't necessarily doing anything exceptional, but is writing about how they feel about their lives, and sometimes about the lives of others. I'm interested in people's past, how it affects their present, how they deal with adversity and how they enjoy what is good about their lives. If the blogs are written in a humorous style, so much the better. I don't mean I have to be laughing all the time; just something that brings an occasional wry smile to my face is perfect.
