Hmmm....

Blogs Falling in an Empty Forest
...95 percent of blogs being essentially abandoned, left to lie fallow on the Web, where they become public remnants of a dream — or at least an ambition — unfulfilled.

So I guess it's good that I never expected to get profit, book deals, or scads of followers from this blog, but simply felt like writing. Don't get me wrong, I pay attention to page views and subscribers fairly closely. I like the fact that people read this blog--but I'm not obsessed by it. I still feel like it's going strong even after nearly eight years and I guess it will so long as I feel like writing.

On the other hand, I do have an abandoned blog that I did just for a class. So I guess I've contributed to the trend as well. I'm halfway afraid to delete it, because I'd probably accidentally delete this one instead. I know, that sounds psycho, but those who know me will agree, it's something I would probably do by accident, because I'm just like that sometimes.

Okay, time to go to bed. I have eaten my second calzone ever (although shouldn't it be cal-zon-ay?) and watched an episode of Moral Orel where the Reverend said something sweet to his lesbian daughter. It wasn't that he disapproved of her dance date being a girl when she was younger--he just didn't think the girl cared enough about her. He's got more depth than I thought. I love Moral Orel. :)
