The Kat House

1) Are you happy/satisfied with your blog’s content and look? I’m a simple person with an optimistic outlook on life. I think my blog illustrates that, so yes, I’m happy with it.

2) Does your family know about your blog? Yes. The only family members who have looked at it, however, are my brother Jake and my sister.

3) Do you feel embarrassed to let your friends know about your blog? Do you consider it a private thing? I don’t tell many of my friends about my blog, but it’s not really out of embarrassment. I do consider my blog to be very private, and I’d prefer that my friends don’t read it unless invited to do so. I feel more inclined to share my blog with others who also blog, since they understand the purpose in doing so.

4) Did blogging cause positive changes in your thoughts? Blogging has improved my self image, it has brought me in touch with new friends, it has given me an outlet to discuss my deepest feelings, and without it, I would have never met my boyfriend, who just happens to be the best boyfriend in the world. Positive events in your life naturally bring about more positive thoughts.

5) Do you only open the blogs of those who comment on your blog or do you love to go and discover more by yourself? I always check out the blogs of those who comment on my blog, but I also browse around on my own. Sometimes when I’m bored, I check out the Next Blog feature.

6) What does a visitor counter mean to you? Do you like having one on your blog? I have a Site Meter on my blog, but I never pay much attention to the number of visitors to my blog. I am more concerned with who visits. Yep, I know who you are!

7) Did you try to imagine your fellow bloggers and give them real pictures? Most of the bloggers I know have photos on their blogs, which is great. It’s always nice to be able to put a face with a name.

Admit it. Do you think there is any real benefit in blogging? Sure. Just look at my answer to #4.

9) Do you think that blogger’s society is isolated from the real world or interaction with events? Not at all. Most of the bloggers that I know are very in touch with the world around them. They are knowledgeable on politics and world events, and yes, they have lives outside of blogging! Many of them post photos to prove it!

10) Does criticism annoy you or do you feel it’s a normal thing? Criticism is a natural part of life. I don’t enjoy it, but I understand that it’s going to happen. I can take it - as long as you’re not criticizing my lack of home decorating skills!

11) Do you fear some political blogs and avoid them? I very rarely blog about politics and current world events, not because I don’t care, but because that’s not what my blog is about. My blog is an outlet for my personal feelings, and I try not to get too wrapped up in current events. On the same token, I am not interested in reading blogs that focus almost entirely on politics and/or world events.

12) Were you shocked by the arrest of some bloggers? Is that what happened to some of these bloggers who just mysteriously disappeared?

13) What do you think will happen to your blog after you die? It will probably die with me, but I hope that someone will value it enough to preserve it.

14) What song do you like to hear? What song would you like to link to on your blog? Any song by the Barenaked Ladies.

15) The next “victims”? Bricotrout, George, and JC.
