Everyone has a blog these days.

One upon a time, I had my own website. This was in the mid 90's. Back then, only one other person I knew had a blog, and she is now studying computer science. I felt like a celebrity. So many people left comments on my guestbooks. Most of them were girls from my school I had said nasty things about, sending me abuse (I made a special page for it). And I wrote the whole thing in HTML. Now if anyone mentioned HTML, I'd wonder if it was an early 90's boy band! People from all over the world left nonymous and anonymous comments, which was just so cool! I even ended up chatting on the phone to a nice young man from Stoke on Trent who wanted to marry me for my Australian visa. I now think I should have done it, then I would be able to go live in England, which is my spiritual home apart from Melbourne. You don't have to have actually been to your spiritual home do you?
But all this was destroyed, some time early in University, when I just lost interest or decided having a website wasn't cool anymore. And forgot all about code.
Now, five years later, I have a website again. Its not as good as the old one. It doesn't have a proper guestbook, only a comments page, which is not the same. And it doesn't allow anonymous comments, which were always the most fun. And I haven't hand crafted every beautiful "a href=" of it :( But I like it anyway. Writing in a blog is weirdly easier than writing in a diary. It seems to be less personal, which is I suppose because the whole world could see it if they only cared to look.
But they don't, because everyone has a blog these days.
