I have to be honest. I feel forced to blog and that makes me feel less creative.
Don't get me wrong, I understand the reasoning behind the madness. I'm writing, I get that, I just feel so uninteresting and unplugged when I write/blog for a class. I actually had a friend tell me she thought I was boring because it didn't sound like me. "You're just way to formal for me anymore," she said. "I don't have time to read formal, I want something you and can you take out the NASCAR?".
[Let me quickly throw in a side note here, she's known me for years and she knows the racing isn't going anywhere, she just likes to pretend I hear her when she throws around rash statements like that.]
Well, she's right. I don't talk formal, I don't act formal, and I’m not a formal individual. I like to just be laid back and let things roll. I try not to get worked up, I try not to let things really bother me. That's just the way I am. When I write formally I do it as a 'job' and that's when I flip over to occupational mode. This blog is supposed to be brainless and fun and if I leave out a comma, I leave out a comma. I'm not at work here on blogspot. I'm not getting paid to write and share an opinion. Although....nevermind.
This blog was the one type of writing where I didn't have to sweat the small stuff and I didn't need to sound like a [insert prestigious college degree here, because if I pick one I'll 'offend' someone] grad. I guess you can say I write for my audience. A bunch of my laid back friends that like reading my commentary. There's a few KSU grads in that bunch and over in Manhattan being formal was something you did at a sorority party called spring fling.

I think that you're right on the mark with this one. You should write for you. After all, that's what your audience comes here for.
Keep up the good work!
