[Aramant]

I have a Livejournal blog, myself. I don't generally use it to document my day to day activities or simply as a soap box, though. I'm something of a story-teller, and I like writing, so I type up things I've done or that have happened that I think are noteworthy. I post them online because telling stories is hardly effective without an audience, and this way I only have to post or send out my typing once and still reach a number of people.

I also prefer to type over vocally relating my derring-do's because I stutter. A key part of story-telling is timing, and when you fumble over words, that timing gets thrown off.

While my journal is mostly for story-telling, I do occasionally vent about things through it. Such as the fact that I stutter. I wrote a lengthy account of my life with the disability. But even though it was something of an editorial, it was still written with the intention to entertain and inform.

I'm a showman at heart, and a blog affords me another avenue through which I can achieve that.
