Why am I here? What am I doing? Would I be doing this if I didn't HAVE to?
A part of me thinks it's quite egotistical to blog. What is so important about MY words, that I need to showcase it on a public platform for others to read? I don't feel quite right, here in the blogosphere, just because I don't feel as if I have anything interesting or useful or different or amazingly insightful to add. I will be addressing issues relating to my university unit, Virtual Cultures, and all that I'll have to offer are my paltry opinions. Inconsequential opinions.
As far as I can see, a blogger would have to be supremely confident in their opinions and their online identity to start a blog in the first place, much less with the the expectation and desire for it to be read. Either that, or lonely; wanting to leave their footprint in the virtual world, however much it will be stamped over.
I'm interested to see whether I get "hooked" on the blogging thing, or if I do it just for the sake of achieving a passing grade. I think I'll enjoy reading about what interests me, in relation to Virtual Cultures... electronic literature, etc. Actually writing the blog and seeing my words on the screen, I think, will be a different matter.
