I realized before Christmas break that I hadn't been on ProU in a LONG time.
I quit using the site in September after a particularly pessimistic day when I felt like it was pointless to blog and blog and never really get anywhere and never really help anybody. Then I realized a few days ago that since I have an ability to write, that I should at least give it a shot. My Biology 2 teacher from junior year told me that I have a unique gift and I have a responsibility to share it with the world. ProU may not be the world, but perhaps I should at least share.
I'm always thinking about random things, anyhow. My friends think I'm crazy. I'm trying harder to listen to my conscience, and they think I'm a little insane for that too. I think it's a sad day when you don't even listen to your own inner voice. Lately mine has been after me to be nicer to our idiot band director and make peace with our old choir teacher, even if she did turn into a total pain in the rear. My friends think that's retarded.
And then again, maybe I'm trying too hard to "blog". I worry that I really don't have anything that effective to say, so I generally shy away from putting my opinions out. But, I guess that Rome wasn't built in a day and I can't expect to be a perfect blogger until I really work on it. Perhaps my writing skills will get better while I'm working on this blog. I'm in the process of writing a book, anyhow.
What gets you all motivated to blog?

During the day, if something strikes me and if I have sarcastic, critical, or otherwise clever thoughts about it, I blog about it later.
Otherwise, I don't bother.
I like to feel passion about what I'm blogging about :)
Welcome back, and good luck :)

I don't blog all that much anymore, because I'm busy with the behind-the-scenes stuff, but I blog when I feel I have something that just needs to be shared. It's usually either 1) someone does something stupid (but something that anyone could do), and I feel the need to warn people not to do it, or 2) people just need to know about something, because it may affect them. Every once and a while, I'll blog about something more personal, like my struggle with my religion, but usually only when I'm provoked to for one reason or another.
