Do friends and family think you're a bit loony...

...When you're prepping things for your blog?
My best friend is always laughing at me when we're out shopping somewhere and I'm trying to take pictures of something to include in my blog.
I also use this little pottery 40s style car, pretty much as an icon, and put it in front of landmarks and take pics of it (sort of like the "Roaming Gnome") for my "Road Trip" blogs...
I've had many a confused look from the locals as I'm holding up this wee little car and taking photos of antique store and flea market signs.
Any good stories to share?

My friends wonder why I aint on Bebo (similar to Myspace) like the rest of them and why I spend so much time on line, when I tell them that I blog and I make money from it(not much though), I always get a blank stare before I know if they are interested or not, pretty 50/50, some change the subject others ask for my blog address. I have a few friends putting links to my blogs in their forum sigs, but most of the time they belong to one forum and it's totally unrelated to my blog, after it gets one click through after months of nothing, they ask for a cut in my profits lol.-
Aw, wow, Randlet-- getting scammed by your friends...I guess you'll have to tell them you only pay for targeted leads. :-)

They thought I was nuts before the PC was invented. They're just glad that there is something to take my attention away from them. None of them have read or even visited my blog, but thats probably a good thing.-
Don't feel bad...I've written BOOKS my family hasn't read! -
Ditto! Who knew how common that was?!

Most of my friends are blog geeks as well...and those that aren't already thought I was clinically insane for other more interesting reasons.

they don't just think it...they're absolutely convinced! -
I am always taking pictures of everything for my blog too. My father is my favorite person to torture...I mean photgraph,. But, I do get those long stares from strangers when I get all paparazzi about traffic shots!-
HA! Your poor long-suffering dad. :-) My friends and family all duck out of the way. They don't want to make their internet debut.
But my neighbor caught me in the backyard photographing a really ugly typing table I planned to fix up and feature.
"E-bay, huh?" he said.
And when I told him no, he looked at me like I had four arms or something. His expression entertained me all day.

Loony is quite tame, my family think I act like a human all day, all I get is 'Jack, stop humaning around, your making a right fool of yourself'
Their rather snobbish my family.

Look at my name then you tell me hehe -
I really thought about printing a little card with a short, understandable definition: "A Blog is...", because I get so tired to explain the concept of blogging a hundred times. Are my relatives and friends all blind, deaf and generally not able to operate a mouse? -
I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that bloggers are a bit strange.

The grass is green, the sky is blue, the sun is shinning, everythings gonna be alright... Ooo new feed updates.

blogging is the salt of life's sweet rind. let they who chuckle at thy toils feel the full wrath of peanutkind. -
I am a Medium I see dead people blogging makes me seems normal to my family -
My friends think I'm incredibly funny, my family has considered having me committed and so the saying goes... you can't pick your family but you can pick your friends.
My latest victims? Giving blog buds "beauty makeovers" using their avitars.
