and here's my friday five, finally; a day late, but i got your dollar right here beeyotch:

1. Explain why you started to journal/blog.
yeah, becky, jess told me to, too. quite the little tyrant, that one.

2. Do people you interact with day to day or family members know about your journal/blog? Why or why not?
actually, no. well, my sister knows. and she reads it every day. hi jackie! nobody i see every day (read: at work) knows about it, and i hope to keep it that way forever and ever 'cause somtimes i bitch about work and it just wouldn't do for them to read it. it's not necessarily because i care what they would think about what i write, but since my livelihood (sp?) depends on maintaing a good working relationship with these people, it would be bad news for me to write something really offensive and then be confronted about it at work.

3. Do you have a theme for your journal/blog?
i don't think so. unless you count the reference to the fact that i'm hearing impaired in both the title of the blog and in the url itself.

4. What direction would you like to have your journal/blog go in over the next year?
omni

5. Pimp five of your favorite journals/blogs.
links to all my favorite blogs can be found in my links section. that's the extent of my pimpin.
