29. Are you an inny or an outty?

original post 5/4/07

I’ve been blogging a little more than a month and have made some observations about people’s blogs and personalities. They are like belly buttons: some are innies and some are outties.

I am usually an inny. I am using my blog to explore the world through my reactions to it, mainly through artistic expression. Rather than post a political or social essay, I gravitate to commentary through a poetic or photographic reaction in order to make my statement. Somehow the abstract is easier for me. I react to stimuli within. I am more of a filter.

The outties appear to be comfortable being out there; they will comment directly on issues and express opinions, they are more essayists, more cause and effect; they react to external stimuli.

I am most definitely an ‘outie’. I’m an extrovert; I research topics and write about them; I also write short-stories, allegories, and other things. People like me. At least, that’s what I tell myself….

I’m sort of both, but more an outie. I try to resist the urge to write everything that comes to my mind, but the longer I’m in the blog medium (about 5 months now) the more tempting it is to write long essays to whoever is listening.

I’m more of an outty, although my belly button is an inny.I guess that makes me both. Very funny blog, have a great evening, hugs.

I was just hitchhiking across country, on my way to LA, when this guy in an old pick-up truck stopped to offer me a ride. “OH! Look! it’s the Grand Canyon” anyway, as I jumped into this truck, I glanced down towards the the floor, and there it was, this shinny new lap-top, I asked the guy if I could try it out, and Wah La! Here I am! OH! I must be a bi-button. Don’t know if I like the sound of that…Hmmmm Great Blog Souci !!!!!!!

I am a little bit of both, I think. Interesting observations.

I’m an INNY. But I think you already know that from my blog. And all my friends in Yahoo360 are innies too. That’s why we excepted each others invitations. Please be patient with me, cos I’m a slow reader. I love to enjoy my readings. (^O^)v
