I am not sure why I deleted it, but I did.  I had started it because of a class I took...we were required to have one.  I don't fancy myself as a great writer of stories, but I do have thoughts, and sometimes things that happen to me are funny, so I think this is a great way to get them out 'in the open' and share them with others. Nothing funny happened to inspire the 're-starting' of this blog, but I am reading the second book in a series and the main character is an avid writer, something I always aspired to be, and she uses it as an outlet.  I have tried keeping a journal, but I have no patience for writing long-hand, when a computer is so much quicker.  Anyway, I don't have many options for other outlets, so I think this might work perfectly!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Welcome to the world of blogspot, self! :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/905401982597164942-8381187025420970950?l=elissamae.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://elissamae.blogspot.com/feeds/8381187025420970950/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://elissamae.blogspot.com/2009/10/so-i-had-blog-once-before-but-deleted.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/905401982597164942/posts/default/8381187025420970950'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/905401982597164942/posts/default/8381187025420970950'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://elissamae.blogspot.com/2009/10/so-i-had-blog-once-before-but-deleted.html' title=''/><author><name>Elissamae</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05577331431744304086</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
