My First Meme!
What's a meme? I don't know. All I know is that Kimananda posted this...post...and called it a meme and challenged me to answer the questions. So I will.
1) Why and how did you start your blog?
I started this blog because I can type much faster than I can write. This wouldn't be such a problem if I didn't have so much to say all the time. So despite my loyalty to beautiful paper journals (I started at the age of 10 and I now have 19 paper journals), I started a blog. On Xanga. That failed because, as a creative both professionally and personally, the format of it sucked. The blinking ads were tacky and what the hell is the point of eProps? Then I followed a former crush to Melodramatic where I posted a second blog. That failed too. It was a little TOO melodramatic. After a long drought, I decided that I really needed an online blog and, since I love Google, I naturally signed up for blogger.
I will never leave.
2) If you have a special 'nom de blog', how did you choose it?
My first "nom" was The Raw World. Frankly I did that just to fill space. I had no idea that was going to be the official name of my blog, but by the time I realized it, it was too late. All of my new blog friends had already tagged my blog with that title. However, some time later I decided to completely redo the design of my blog and thought a change in name wouldn't hurt either. After 5 seconds of excruciating thinking I came up with the boring name of About A Girl. Because, well, it is.
3) How did you come up with the name for your blog?
See above.
4) What things do you tend to blog about the most, and why?
Jason comes up a lot in my posts. 'Cuz lets face it, we all pretty much blog about what makes us feel an emotion. What makes me mad? What makes me sad? What makes me happy? What makes me laugh? The answer? Jason. Jason. Jason. Judge Judy. (And Jason.)
Since I am an optimist and live my life on laughter, I try to post funny anecdotes. Laughter cures all. However, if something is REALLY bothering me, I'm not afraid to post a little reality either.
5) Are there subjects you'd like to blog about, but don't, and if so, what is stopping you?
Ah, a GREAT question. The answer? Sex.
No seriously. There are so many times I want to blog about sex and sexuality but I don't. I guess I'm afraid that I'm going to offend someone or it'll turn my cute PG blog into an X-rated one. That's not to say I'm always thinking dirty thoughts or want to write erotica. Not at all. But sex is a real part of our lives, and a lot of times I'd like to share my experiences and thoughts. My confusion, my frustrations, my triumphs, my guilt, my pleasure...all of it.
6) How do you organize your blogroll/links?
Erm, as far as my links go, I fiddled around with the template until it looked good enough. I'm a design stupeedo and that frustrates me. As soon as I receive my Mac in the mail I'm going to buy the Adobe Creative Premium Suite 2 and start walking the path to design guruness!
7) How do you feel about the design of your blog? Are there any changes you'd like to make to it?
Well it's much better looking than it was. It's colorful yet clean, just like me. However, it's not as seamless as I would like. I want it to be contemporary yet fluid. Sigh. I'll get there.
8) How often do you post new entries on your blog? Would you like to post more (or less) often?
Sometimes I struggle to post twice a week, and other times like today, I post 3 times a day. It depends more on what I have to say and less on how much time I have.
9) How often do you read and/or comment on other blogs? How do you find new blogs to read?
I'm not going to lie, I don't comment nearly as much as I used to. I still read people's blogs, I just don't always comment.
I no longer find new blogs (unless they find me first) anymore because I have enough blogs to pay attention to as it is, but when I first got here and had no friends, I'd hit that lovely NEXT button and VOILA! New friends!
10) Have you done anything special to get others to read and/or comment on your blog?
Since they don't have a way for me to virtually flash someone, no.
However, I usually comment on someone's blog so they will comment on mine. It's only fair.

Great post! I have to laugh though, you asked the question that I have been wondering about for months---I have NO idea what a meme is! I am eagerly awaiting the answer though! ;-)
This is neat! Now I'm off to try and develop a way to virtually flash people...I like that idea for some reason!
Hey, g/f, I've been remiss in visiting my blogpals of late, and wanted to see how you were doing. I love the way your blog looks, and the name as well (which is of course also the title of a great Nirvana song).
This meme is a great one! Loved your answers. And by the way, in reference to your post below, I've become quite a cheapo--and proud of it--especially after meeting my b/f seven years ago. Now when I'm over there, our biggest thrill is Fridays when the new supermarket sales sheet comes out. We're off and running for the bargains, and there's always the great 99 cent stores in his Bronx 'hood too. Nothing wrong with saving some dollars here and there, now is there?
