And blogging doesn't have to be what she described, it can be connection, conversation, exploration. What I related to most is the need for attention which I think is a fine and basic need, only blog attention can be the empty calories of attention compared with connecting to those around you. (want to know what blog re-inspired you after mice parade came on) So just finished the Gould article and yes it makes me want to go huddle under my comforter and maybe throw my computer out the window.
