I know the title for today's post has nothing to do with the two memes....but it is EARLY in the MORNING...and the song came to my head. Oh, live with it!!!

Sunday Stealing: The Pretentious Blogging Meme

1. How long have you been blogging? With this blog...since 2006. I had another blog under an alias before, and got harassed a lot with anonymous commentors all the time...I dropped it and began this one.

2. What made you start? The interest in reading other blogs.

3. Who inspired you? A longtime online friend, P J, at No Deep Thoughts [her blog/and her cat photos]

4. About how many hours a week would you estimate you spend on your blog? About two hours a day. [but that entails visiting other blogs also...not just posting on MY blog!] What's that equal? Where's my calculator.....2x7=14. Is that too much time?

5. What kind of experience or background do you have with writing? Other than the blog, and writing [emailing] complaints to companies and editorial letters to local newspapers....that's about it.

6. Talk about how you come up with blog topics. Where do you get your ideas? Memes, what I do during the week, news, politics, books, movies, craft projects, art, painting, holidays, shopping, day trips, photography, sometimes poetry...just about anything goes.

7. What or who inspires you and your blog? Me? Ya, I guess I'm the inspiration here...who else would it be?

8. Where and/or how do [you do] your brainstorming for your blog? The where would be here at my desk....the how is whatever is in my mind at that time.

9. Do you have any blogging rules or guidelines you follow? I try to keep it family friendly. 99% of the time at least.

10. Is there anything you will not blog about? I don't do religious speeches...Religion, like politics, is a personal thing. As it should be...but with the media and politicking, I can't go without commenting on THAT sometimes. But sharing my religious thoughts and MY OWN religion is out of the question. As I have on my sidebar, a quote....in so many words: Theocracy, and the trouble with it, is... too many want to be Theo. I leave my beliefs within my own heart; not preaching to others. BUT! I respect those that have religious blogs...it's their strength.

11. Do you have any sort of a publishing schedule in terms of day of week or topic? Monday blogging is my 'free day'....I made a point lately to begin having that day for fun, nonsensical, ideas, thoughts --anything that I wanna chit chat about, without working on a meme. It's a quiet day then, for me...visiting only those that visit me. Very nice for the change of pace. I say, if I'm home, and have the ability...why not blog every day if possible. Besides, it's fun, it has enriched my life with visitors, a learning experience in not only the blog posts but learning a higher task of xhtml and CSS and much more. If I stop, I'm bored.
