Because I'm a sad git who doesn't have a life

[childeofloki.livejournal.com]

Can I just go with your answer? It's better than mine, I tried to make an excuse.

[cerebralpig.livejournal.com]

Because I do... so there!

[childeofloki.livejournal.com]

Habit.

[childeofloki.livejournal.com]

Better yet, I blog because blogs don't show my face, and I look like this:

Snazzy!

[dakegra.livejournal.com]

to keep me sane. Otherwise the words build up inside my head and I need an outlet or I might EXPLODE.

[jovi-diva.livejournal.com]

Sometimes there are a lot of reasons...other times there are none!

I really enjoy the friendships that have come from blogging!

[beatzz.livejournal.com]

Because I want to remember.

For meeting people, interacting, it´s easier for me on the computer than in real life because of my social anxiety. For improving/practising my english, getting things off my chest, clearing my head, but also for sharing positive things in my life.
No matter what you´re writing about here, you´ll always find someone who´s interested in it/in the same stuff or who made similar experiences.

These are actually 2 different questions in my world. ;P

I blog because I am a bit of an attention whore (in case you hadn't noticed); I find the feedback a good spur to continue writing; I'm a very social creature who prefers to deal with her interaction with others in small doses.

Journalling, to me, means paper journals, which I have kept since I was 11. At last count, I've filled 184 notebooks of various shapes and sizes over the course of the intervening 24 years. I've had fallow periods, usually after journals were stolen and used against me (my divorce was a good example of that, as was a subsequent relationship). I'm getting back into it again slowly, but it is intrinsically such a part of who I am, I will never give it up completely.

[milagro75.livejournal.com]

Because I like to keep track of things in my own way, and Im way better about updating my online journal than I am my paper one.

[britishcowgirl.livejournal.com]

to get my mum who lives 5000 miles away to stop bugging me

[britishcowgirl.livejournal.com]

why do you?

[mighty-rontor.livejournal.com]

To exercise my wits. Let me know when I start doing that!

[amnotcute.livejournal.com]

You mean you don't read and find out *sheds tears*

[libra-dragon.livejournal.com]

Get thoughts out of my head, it's a nice way to clear my head. Choronicle things, write, etc.
Many many reasons.

[pyxiwulf.livejournal.com]

my primary motivation was my children. I wanted a written record for them. I am certainly appreciative of the exhibitionist factor though.

[1jodie.livejournal.com]

it's entertaining.

[chiropteraclan.livejournal.com]

There is a very long list of reasons, but mostly because it is a place to make contact with people. That's what keeps me here.

[angellamongus.livejournal.com]

For many reasons. At first, it was because I was told it'd be good for me, and now.. it's because I know it's good for me. I've learned how to open up about my thoughts and feelings instead of keeping them all bottled up. By learning how to open up in my LJ.. (slowly at first) I was then able to learn how to open up more with my friends. And while I still struggle with some issues when it comes to opening up, and I still keep a lot inside and bottle some things up, I'm still way more forthcoming than I once was.

So it's a way of .. sharing my thoughts and feelings. And a way of boring people with how much I suck. And a way of keeping in touch.

And in the last couple of years.. it's also become a way to make new friends online.. because I've been lucky enough to meet some super people via lj!

[rowanchey.livejournal.com]

Because of days like today.

[amante-donne.livejournal.com]

to get things out of my head, there isnt much room in there and I need to clear it out reguarly.

[1-rhiannon-1.livejournal.com]

See icon :D

Also, I ♥ your answer :D

[princess-charl.livejournal.com]

A few reasons - a place to vent, for friendship and to be able to look back on my life :)

[donnickcottage.livejournal.com]

I decided I could do this... or torture small defenseless animals to relieve my stress. For the moment, I thought this would suffice.

[xsongbirdx.livejournal.com]

It's the only time I can vent and talk about ME. My real-life relationships are all about the other person. So here, I am selfish and can write what is in MY head.
