the blog in me ...?

by deducing from everyone else's posts today, i'm guessing we're to lay out our previous/personal blog experience. (i must have eaten something raunchy last night, hence my absence from class today)
i have a livejournal account, and have had it for a little over 2 years. call me a stalker, but i like being kept up to date on my friend's happenings and whatnot, so i figured i'd jump on the bandwagon and give it a try. i'm not a compulsive updated, but i type recent happenings when the mood strikes me, or when i'm bored at work. the same goes for facebook and myspace.. it's an addiction!

i never used to think of blogs as a professional tool, and honestly, part of me (allbeit a very small part) doesnt take any blog 100% seriously, mostly becuase of the teenage-fad stigma i have of them. i even hesitate to say the word "blog." ... it reminds me of a cross between blob and log..but this unit (as it's already doing) will show me that blogs are indeed usefull in other realms than the "lets keep everyone updated on my life" one that i'm so familiar with.
