My Blogging Experience

I was just thinking about how cool it has been in this past while that we have been blogging. I think the best thing for me has been seeing different sides of of people I already knew. There's something about the written medium, in the context of a forum-like jigger, that is different to verbal communication.

These are the things I have enjoyed different people:

Megan - I guess it's funny, because in a way, I've come to actually know you properly through this. Before I would have said that we were more acquaintances, but now I would consider you a friend. You are a clever, deep and caring person, and it to you I owe the thanks for introducing me to blogger in the first place. Oooo, I forgot to say that you're talented :)

Pavlos - Wow, I've known you for how many years? About 17 I think. And I have never seen you be so witty. Don't get me wrong, you've always been very funny, but in this time, and with this medium, you've shown a real talent for using the written word to make me laugh, and to make me think. I'm impressed by your ability to write too. For a bloke who didn't do Yr 12, I think you would find the transition to Uni study a breeze (if that's ever where you want to head).

King Kohl - Hehe... I've always known you to be the craziest kid in town, but here you've shown that you have the intelligence and understanding of your dad. You are a switched-on kid, Matty B. God's gonna do awesome stuff with your sharp mind.

Andrew - Actually, nothing surprised me here. I don't know whether that's if I know Andrew so well, or because of... I don't know what else, but... Hang on! I just thought of something that I wasn't expecting: you think up very funny and interesting titles for blog posts. Hehehe.... 1000 posts? Writing backwards? That's the best :) Otherwise though, you've been the deep, funny and random man I know you to be :) So random it's everywhere at everything I'm hungry!

Luke - you don't get a mention because you don't post on my site, and hardly ever on Megan's. So NNNNEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!! (even though technically you did just get a mention).

Revhead - Where have you gone? I'm impressed by three things with you on blogs. One: your ability to make up a story with very little material to go on; two: your knack for elaborating on something that someone else is saying, but then taking it to an all new level of obscurity and enjoyability (evil overlord??? that was your idea!); and three: the fact that a pastor of a big church takes the time to contribute to the bonding of an online community - I like your innovative intellect, I like your desire to see things differently, I like that your mind is always buzzing with new and interesting ideas.

If I've forgotten you, just post and I'll create one. These guys above are the main players (ie. the ones who post regularly on each others' sites), so they're the ones I thought of first :)
