So much so that I wrote a real, live, scholarly article about it a couple years ago: "'Comment Me Back': Expectations of Intimacy in the Culture of Blog" (International Journal of Applied Philosophy 21 [Spring 2007]). In case anyone wants to look it up, haha.<BR/><BR/>Actually, *I* need to go look it up, and re-read it. I wrote it before I started blogging! Let's see what I think now, having immersed my theory in the real -- ok, virtual -- world.

Some days I feel like it's worth it to put lots of effort in and be really careful, others I feel like I'd rather just have the damn cake 'cause life is short and do I really want to spend it obsessing about calories and fat?
