Blogging

The preferred term these days is 'social commentator'. Yeah, right. You're a person that publishes your journal for the entire web-wide world to see. And, yes, I am aware that I am essentially mocking myself. Whatever. Let's call that Queen of Hearts by her REAL title - smug low-class flirt. Not slut - she's married and has the integrity not to defile her vows to such an extent. (In other words, she lets them look and she lets them touch, but not THERE.)

Don't you think this whole thing is just SLIGHTLY narcissistic? Just a WEE little bit? I mean, you make huge presumptions in airing your laundry in the world square. First of all, that anyone cares, and secondly, that your laundry is special enough to be shown to the air. Standards oft ignored. (And I am in the process of ignoring them.)

Social commentator... Pfft. It's a nice title. Much fancier than 'blogger', which applies some amount of plebeian association. 'Social commentator' is higher class. But I never bought into the concept of blueblood. You're either well-mannered or you're not, and breeding's got nothing to do with it. The Queen of Hearts is a low-class flirt, and your 'social commentary' used to be called 'bitching in your journal'.
