My real-life friend HopIQ was the first one who talked to me about starting a blog. I kept thinking and rethinking about it. What in heavens would I write about? It’s not like I have a bunch of cute kids whom I could write about or post pictures. Neither did I have a terribly exciting job where adventures happened on a daily basis that I could regale my readers with. Nor am I a heroine of the faith going through trials and tribulations so that I could be a beacon of encouragement to the multitudes. I am not a (die hard) feminist, anti-feminist, conservative, liberal, keeper at home, career woman, cooking whiz.
Yet I am all of this in part.
I cannot be in a box since I found out that I make everyone else in the box uncomfortable. That is why my title is Just About Anything. I could not find one single topic that I am passionate about.
I make conservatives uncomfortable with my environment care, liberals with my abortion views, feminists with my complementarian attitude, anti feminists with my working woman views.
I have no clique. I am a freak.
So I blog.

I, for one, love you for what you label "freaky!" Glad you're you...and very glad you're blogging! Your posts are honest, thoughtful, and marked by humor.
P.S. and I hadn't really realized I got you into blogging. Woohoo!!!
Who on earth has given you an impression that blogging has to be about "something" and you ahve to stick to "some view". Blog derives itself from "weblog" which stands for logging your events on web. More precisely like an open online diary. Hope I have cleared your misconceptions pretty well :)
This is exactly why I like you. Move over because I'm a freak, too. The only difference is that I'm a SAHW. (But not for any religious reasons; I was just tired and sick all the time when I was teaching. Kids, even the big kids, are germy.)
You are YOU, and you are unique; I don't fit it either, but it's no reason to keep silent! :) Keep blogging!
Wow - we're pretty similiar!
I just got caught up on your blog - I love your site!
