About me queries give me the willies. I don't fit well into the little boxes and yet I keep finding myself faced with the idiotic things. I could give the litany of places I've lived. Or what I used to do for a living. Or you could just read my blog.
Oh, and I stink at self-promotion. That's because I'm an INTJ.
(it's a good thread and deserves some responses ... but as you can see, i suck at these) -
I posted this more as a help to some of us newbies who don't really know anyone here.
Sorry if I offended.-
no, no, you didn't offend!!!! this is a good thread which deserves replies! i was trying to bump it up to the top so more peopel would answer you!
/me slinks away in utter abject failure.

Folks may hesitate with some of the categories due to privacy concerns, too. Ah, bloggers-- we're a funny breed. -
Yah, that's why I said be as vague as you wish.. I mean, I personally won't put too much personal info out there, but a basic yet vague "Hiya howya doin'" is all I was wanting.
Just put as much or as little as you want, I guess is what I'm saying. I'm trying to get everyone's names straight and all that stuff.
-
-
Sorry, I only thought maybe I had stepped somewhere where I shouldn't have, that's all.
It's kind of hard trying to get to know people who have history's together and so I was just kind of trying to break the ice.
Please don't - Turn that frown upside down! Ok, I'm lame.. I know it.-
Well gosh, I will play along!

Well, definitely "HI!". And I'm Jenn.
I've been on BlogCatalog for well over a year now. I'm not married (my city was recently voted one of the worst cities in the United States for singles-- woo-hoo! so proud of that!).
I'm a professional writer by trade-- I largely write web copy, advertising and video scripts.
Otherwise, I'm working on my thrift shop blog or my humor blog. -
Hey, The Mrs,
One thing I've been doing (too much) is trying to visit the blogs. I started with the discussions (partly because I'm lazy). I was impressed enough with some of the first few that I did a couple of reviews.
I'm glad to meet you--I'm a freelancer in Florida and I am addicted to blogging. I have also become addicted to Blog Catalog. I am developing a serious allergy to a lot of my work.
best, Kay Day -
