Tagged by Mikey. There are 3 rules, and I quote Mikey:
Rules are A) three reasons why I blog. B) Tag people. Actually there's another in between rule, which is to list the rule, which I have done anyway.
I've probably talked about 'why I blog' somewhere on here before, because I'm very good at self-indulgent musings. Whether or not those reasons will match up with what I write here I don't know, because there might be more than 3 reasons for why I blog, or I might just be inconsistent. Or just making shit up. Anyway, here goes:
1. If something bothers me I like to rant about it. Blogging is a much more satisfying way to rant about something that pisses you off because it connects you with other people who are pissed off by similar things, and you can have the satisfaction of ranty-solidarity. Besides, it gives you the satisfaction of being able to say "See!? I told you such and such was a bad idea".
2. I hope that one day Gam and I will have kids. Since I was always incompetent when it came to keeping a diary, I never had any hope of leaving our kids an interesting tome of memories to flick through. Somehow blogging is so much easier than keeping a diary, and I like keeping the blog as a repository of memories of things we've done and places we've been. Also it'll be a little piece of history in its own way.
3. Hmmm... That's about it, actually. There are only two reasons why I blog. Unless I think of something later that sounds really insightful...
I tag Patrick, because he hasn't updated his blog in ages, not even with photos from his Vietnam trip or food he has cooked lately... I'm hoping to coax a post out of him :)

And your kids can read about how the plumber reacted when he saw your vibrators!
Yes - sharing rants is always fun!
Yes, I will never, ever live that down, especially not once our kids find out. Yikes!
And now we need to get the plumber back to fix something in the kitchen. Thank heavens it will probably be Gam organising that!
"ranty-solidarity" is just a super awesome term. And so true!
Deal. Sorry, sooo busy. Never sell out! You can kiss your time goodbye! It's ten and I'm answering work emails!
Awww... well good luck with whatever it is, and I hope the lack of time isn't a permanent thing, because I miss your posts!
