A note and a question

[fpb]

The reason why I have been publishing little recently except for quotations from other people's articles is that I am very busy. I am slowly and painfully getting my books and comics out of storage, building or rebuilding bookcases to house them, and redesigning my flat. I rarely have time to properly blog.

Now, I have a question. I regularly refer to this LJ as "my blog" and what I do here as blogging. However, few other people seem to. I have just found out that one of the most lively, intelligent, productive, and, dammit, attractive members of my f-list (stand up and take a bow, synaesthete7), runs a blog separately from her LJ, on a different site, and describes only that as her blog. So I would like to ask, do you see a difference between LJs and blogs, or are they one and the same thing to you? And if you do, where does the difference lie?

I agree with hafguk...I would see it as a combination of both. I personally use it as a kind of open diary..open at least to my lj friends. I use it sometimes as dustbin to express the sadness which I particularly went through in the last months and it helps. Under the bottomline it is great to get support back from friends, when you desperatly need it!
In addition, I have afterwards the perfect diary for myself after I am back in Europe...and who knows maybe my dream comes true and I will write a book out of all these entries! It would be worth doing it, I think! :)

Yeah, lj has been a great diary for me to remember my pregnancy high and low points. I used to write in a real diary years ago, but lj actually allows you to interact with others in their daily lives too, which I have found to be very nice.
