Say it!

I actually like to say "blog". But I have to admit, I didn't read your extended entry out loud. Actually I just scanned it.

Sorry

It sounds like I'm congested. On the rare occasion I do say blog out loud, I am then forced to define the word as an online journal.

It is a weird word.

You can rearrange the letters and make "glob."

I avoid saying the word out loud at all costs. "What did you do today?" "...Uhh, read some stuff online." Anytime I do say it I seem to get a little flushed, and have this lump in my throat, and wonder on the spot whether to do it or not. I know that if I do, I'll get the confused look and will be forced to explain. My husband still doesn't understand the concept, or what a blog really is. I've given up there.

I rarely say it out loud either. Like that other person said, I just say that I do my online writing. But I do have to say that I was disappointed that I clicked on your "read more" link and was subjected to a bombardment of "blogs." Pretty tricky!

it sounds like i might be trying to get something out of the back of my throat.

I think the whole thing is weird, more than just the word. For instance, I read interesting stuff in blogs all the time but I feel weird talking to non-bloggers about it. It's like having imaginary friends or something.

So fun-sounding is the word blog
Sounds so much like frog or wet bog
I don't think it'll be
That special to me
Sitting here on a sawed off log

I read your series of blogs and commited them to memory.

I never say it either because as hard as it is to believe, even with the growing popularity, people still have no idea what I am talking about!

I actually say "blog" a lot and no one knows what I'm talking about!
I'm seeing it more on Fowxnews.com
and even the Dallas Morning news...

I mostly say "blog" to my husband, as in, "The people on my blog say we should do X with the wallpaper."

Last night I told him something about heating vents, and he said, "Did one of your BLOG people tell you that?" Hee hee.
