		<description>I&#039;m not really a fan of structured parties or events of any kind. They remind me to much of work.

As for the plot I totally agree although I&#039;m pretty sure that Aesop didn&#039;t write his stories while waiting for the mall to open because he had to buy a Birthday gift. So, he probably had more free time to develop his plot lines,ha,ha..</description>

		<description>I like spontaneous, just-because parties best. On the continuum of party species,I would have to say I like birthday parties least. Too much pressure on everyone to have fun; to chose the right gift; to make the appropriate expressions of joy and gratitude for the gifts; too many gifts; planning the party to give the guests enough of a good time; the whole aging thing...Also, I&#039;m sorry but I didn&#039;t think much of the mice taking the bus as a clever plot device. Aesop would have come up with something more ingenious. But the &quot;no eating or drinking&quot; sign thing was pretty good.</description>

		<description>Haven&#039;t quit. Just really busy with some things at home. 
Unfortunately for me this is likely to drag on through most of the Summer.</description>

		<description>I tried blogging for money before.  I failed.   Now, like you, I blog for myself.  To vent or talk about happy things or things that piss me off or whatever.  I don&#039;t really give a crap that I only have 5 readers.  That&#039;s less comments I have to reply to, lol.

		<description>This is exactly why I turn down all offers of companies wanting to place a link on my blog in exchange for money. I don&#039;t want to feel obligated to post. I keep telling myself I should do only 3 posts a week because no one has time to read any more than that, but I always think of other stuff to write about. So, I&#039;ll keep doing it until I run out of stuff. But I find the more I write, the more I think of, so it&#039;s good practice for me. Once I joined one of those NaBloPoMo things where you have to post every day for a month. I did it, but it made me quit blogging for 4 months.</description>

		<description>When I started blogging back in 2004 on my first blog, I blogged for me.  Then something happened, I began to get followers, and comments, and more followers.  

I started worrying about writing the wrong thing, offending people, blah, blah, blah.  

Then after a few years, I went back and forth, sometimes I would blog, sometimes not, then the sometimes stretched into months.  I wasn&#039;t satisfied anymore.

Why?  Because I wasn&#039;t blogging for me anymore.

Now I am back to blogging for me, and looking at it that the few followers I have enhance my blog, but they are not key to my blogging.
