Top 10 Signs You Are Blogging Too Much.

By The Armorer on June 1, 2007 | | Comments (4)

Reader Jim C. sends us to CentralSnark to check out this list, and provides us this list.

1. Your immediate reaction to seeing a "ten signs you are blogging too much." is to blog your own top ten. [um... er, ah...]

2. You bought a new hard drive just so you had enough room to backup your list of RSS feeds. [Nope.]

3. Your spouse carries a picture of the back of your head in their wallet because this is what they normally see. [Well, it's actually a profile as she sees me when she walks by in the hallway.]

4. Sitemeter goes down and you have a panic attack. [Well, only if the *numbers of visitors* go down. I can live with the server going down - then everybody on my server, at least, is suffering.]

5. Your philosophy comes down to that there are two things in life - bloggable/unbloggable. [um, guilty]

6. You have a bumper sticker that says "I ♥ my Aggregator." [Nope, dodged this one. Don't even *use* an aggregator. Yet.]

7. When you have just got done reading 500 some posts your first instinct is to hit refresh to see if any more have been written. [Thankfully, no. Unless they're comments on *my* site.]

8. You don't always remember your wedding anniversary but can instantly remember the year, month, day, and hour you started blogging. [Nope. SWWBO trained me better than that - besides, that's what the archive thingy is for. So I don't have to remember, I can just look it up.]

9. You are more concerned about comment spam than Homeland Security and while you are against the death penalty in general you think surely for Trolls deserve the exception. [Yeah, so?]

10. The first thing you do when visiting a new blog is to see if your blog is on their blogroll. If not you try to find a post where you can immediately leave an intelligent and witty comment so that they will immediately add you. [Well, sometimes.]

Heh. The #1 reason you know you are too into the whole thing? Aside from having your buddy laser-engrave the Castle logo on your gun rack, and bar mugs?

When you announce to the world that you are #1 on Google for "I bayoneted myself" at the Milblogger Conference... and everybody thought that was funny, vice a shocked silence.

And then you keep mentioning it... because, well, you want to *stay* number one~!

8^ )

So, what's *your* sign, baby?

My top sign about blogging too much was one morning when my sister picked me up very early for breakfast. I got in the car and started to talk about a "conversation" I had been part of. She turned to me and asked "How can you have stories, I dropped you off late last night! You haven't seen anyone!" My reply, "Oh, it was at the Castle." That's when I realized that no matter how late I got in at night.....no matter how tired I was.....I still had to check in here and at my own place.

Dittos to what Maggie said - Have to check email and the Castle. And even if I checked it before bed, I always check it in the am - because from the west coast, something almost Always happens between my bedtime and my wake-up time :-)

How about paying $7.50 for 7 minutes of 'net time at the airport, at a STANDING BOOTH, just to check email and put up a quick Memorial Day post? lordy. The things we do..... Of course, it also means that we'll trek all the way across the country to meet each other if given the chance!

Well, I'm not much of a blogger, even if I had a blog which still worked. I must confess, though, that when I type in "www.t" the autocomplete immediately brings up this site. I came for the Gun Pr0n, I stayed for the intellectually stimulating outrageous conversation.
