First of all let me say that I keep seeing news articles about people blogging less. Why? Because in said news articles the point of the report is to say that there has been a shift in people blogging towards people ‘micro-blogging.’
By this they mean updating their Facebook newsfeed or ‘tweeting’ on Twitter.
I hereby wish to readdress the balance by starting to blog more. Not me. I seriously think I’m the verge of a blogging frenzy. In fact, the whole point of less people reading appeals to me.
Until I joined Facebook, I never realised just how boring the people I know were. I don’t mean my close friends, but those I sort of half knew at school before they moved away after only two terms. Now, years later, I find them on my friends list and I realised just how lucky I was to discard them all that time ago.
Christ, people are boring.
If it’s not bad enough I have stupid friends constantly banging on/supporting England’s dire performance (like Rooney is ever going to actually read their newsfeed), here are some recent examples of what my ‘friends’ are up to:
is so proud of [insert child’s name], she passed her two tests in horse riding exam today. She will receive certificates and badges next week!
Has just seen the queen
Phew (seriously, that’s all she wrote…um, thanks for that – it’s really exactly what I needed to know)
Likes Umbro
i'm sitting outside the van drinking a cup of tea
Right, with that off my chest, I’m off to have a nice glass of juice and a cake (because I know you ALL wanted to know that).
