WHY BLOG? another pseudo giveaway


I think having a blog teaches you a few things.

#1 Despair.com is an awesome website. awesome. It pretty much sums up my feelings about blogging.
#2 People say things online they would never say in person. Unless they would. For me the sarcasm gets me in trouble- because people just can't hear it.
#3 Drama Drama Drama. People need drama. If nothing exists they make up clever television shows like Gossip Girl and Glee that they can live through. and the Britney Spears Glee episode blew my mind. in a good way.
#4 People are more insecure than they look. Like way insecure. I've written lots of hatemail posts and several people have asked if it was about them. Most of the time it wasn't. Except today when someone blew up about it and it was about them. It was pretty hateful. I broke my rule not to write a post when I was angry. She says my blog is dedicated to saying how much I hate church people. But I herewith dedicate my blog officially to despair.com's poster about blogging.
#5 never write posts when you are angry.
#6 you probably don't have anything original to write.
#7 I like blogging- I feel like I am closer to one of my sister in laws from it, and that is worth it, right.

in other blogging news the wonderful milk duds are happily on their way to their new home- I had to buy several bags because the bags kept getting opened and consumed. crazy. comment number 2 you won! More Halloween Candy pseudo-giveaways to come. Starting with this post:
One bag of (wait for it) Reeces Peanut butter cups will go to the person who answers: why blog? in a comment.
I will mail it in one week on Monday, after I get back from New Jersey but before I get on the plane with my two kids and fly to Utah.

don't leave!!!! okay...how about this...take me with you! :)

Loved your things you learn from blogging. Something I've "learned" is to take pride and joy in your life. others may blow it off as "oh ya i've done that too, my baby does that" blah blah. but hey, i enjoyed it and i'm posting it for me to remember. I'd like to make some of my good blogs into a photo book, for me. so ya, i'm selfish, but hey, if you wanna read my blog and look at my pictures, great! so do! (and comment :) ) hehe

so I guess I answered why i blog in my comment too.

I enjoy your blog!!!! see you soon hopefully!

Blog Best Friends Forever! Are you really coming to Utah. Guess what, I updated my blog...kind of :)

Your posts are pretty shocking sometimes. And I guess I'm in the insecure group because I've wondered too... I hope we see you in Utah.

Where are these "angry posts"? Do you delete them after people get mad? You shouldn't. Leaves out the entertainment for the rest of us.

I think she should delete them if people, ME (yeah, two about me... and guess what, she says she's a friend and does crap like that! (just yesterday after I "blew up" at her about her post, she said how she wanted to go crafting with me...Hmmm?!) I think you'd be pretty pissed if you were being written about for others entertainment. (What's wrong with you people. It's sick!) And, no, I am not insecure... I just think it's awful to claim to be a Christian... LDS even, and then bash people you claim to be friends with face to face. I can't wait to figure out who else your posts are about. That's called two faced if you didn't know and it will bite you on your butt one of these days!) I think it takes a really sick and mental person to enjoy bad mouthing people this way and for others to enjoy reading it. I didn't grow up in the Church, but I do seem to have enough sense to NOT do this garbage! Interesting. Funny, the word verification I need to enter is Godli... (Godly) Hmmm, maybe you should work on being more like that.

I love you Janae. Good for Wojcicki for standing up for herself.

janaemadsen (October 5, 2010 at 5:49 PM)  

most of my blog is sarcastic or venting. I guess you have discovered that I'm not perfect. also a lot of the "people" in the hatemail are about made up people or a combination of people or a story someone else has told me. They aren't actually about my friends.
I shouldn't have reacted to facebook stuff, so I decided to stop reading it.

Wow do I ever hate hypocrites, and I'll be damned if The Wojcicki's isn't one of them!

"I think it takes a really sick and mental person to enjoy bad mouthing people this way and for others to enjoy reading it. I didn't grow up in the Church, but I do seem to have enough sense to NOT do this garbage!"

I think it's safe to say that God probably doesn't care too much for hypocrites, nor does he care for people with holier-than-thou attitudes like your own. What the hell are you doing spending your time spying on members of your church anyway? Get a fucking life, lady! Ditch the bitch, Janae! She's not worth your time!
