Blogging Milestone

I just realized that my little blog has had over 100 posts! It may not be much compared to other bloggers like Mie who've been posting for years, but I'm proud of myself gosh darn it! :) I've actually been online for years with an old (and very cheesy and now deleted) geocities site and a LiveJournal, but to me, real blogging is different.
You see, LiveJournals, Myspaces, and other communities like them offer a greater chance of "being found" but they've also got a lot of restrictions. For example, my LiveJournal is now friends only due to some drama that came up a couple years ago. So unless I knew you from before you're not going to be able to see any posts there.
But with blogs like this and Elle's and Eddie's I get sense of freedom and honesty that I don't see in community blogs. I posted it, it's out there for EVERYONE to see, and I stand by it, no going back. Feels pretty good actually.
It's also pretty funny how with as big as the internet is, it's still a small world after all. I found someone that I hadn't seen in years when someone randomly recommended a band's myspace, and there he was, an old friend from high school. I'm going to see him play this month and ask if he'll be going to the reunion next year.
I guess having a little milestone like this means the most because of what my blog really is, a record of how far I've come and where I'm going and who I am as I see myself. It's interesting to see how others see themselves and their lives too, even though most of us have never met in person before. But that's the magic of blogging.
