I sometimes think I should pay JU for therapy. When I want to write, when I want to vent, when I want to share something, I come here, and out it all comes. In person I am pretty much the same. I have a very tough time keeping my emotions to myself. I wear my heart on my sleeve, and I hope that people appreciate that they at least get honesty from me, even if they don't always agree with what I have to say. I like people to be real. I also love the feedback I get from here. From people...

I suffer from sleepless nights. When everyone else is tucked up in bed and dreaming. I'm wandering about the place, and wondering what I can possibly do to make me sleep. JU helps me at this time, because I usually end up reading articles. My favourite thing to do at the moment is read old articles, from current and past users. Because I'm in a state of half asleepness (don't think that's a word...but you get my drift) it's nice to read old articles, and appreciate what you already have ...

I honestly don't know how I would cope without google. Everytime I think of a question that I would like an answer to, I simply type my question into google, and BAM! There isn't just one answer, there is millions of answers, millions of perspectives, and insight into millions of different peoples minds on my chosesn subject within seconds. How do you beat that? I don't think that you can. So my chosen topic today for google, was, blogging. You see I have been at JoeUser for about two y...

Christmas wasn't as bad as I expected. I was prepared for the worst day possible, and it was actually pretty painless. We had a few arguments, a few disagreements, but on the whole we all got along pretty well. Me and Santa need a discussion about his present delivering techniques but that's another story. No mince pies for him next year. Christmas is generally a time for family and people you care about. I am very grateful for my family and the fact that I'm not alone at Christmas, to ...

Heeelllllllooooooo JU! I know, I know...I said NO blogging for a while....this isn't a real blog...this my friends is a drunken helloooooooo. It's Halloween here, and I love it. All the kids are dressed up, some of the adults too.....ohhhhh I just love it! I have been at the the pub for the majority of the day, and now I am drunk, well no not drunk...merry?? Yes...we will say merry! I'm in a good mood. Missing Kermit like crazy, and kicking myself for being such a deleting queen, bu...

I feel a bit out of things at the moment. I'm spending less time here, and things have changed. Of course that is what happens with this site. It is evolving all the time, and we as a community are evolving. I don't really feel part of the JU community at the moment, and that is no ones fault but my own. I don't exactly know how or when it happened. I think I've just had other things on my mind and JU has just taken a back seat. Some people here I considered to be friends, turned out n...

I've noticed on a few of my top articles, and other peoples, anon users are posting adverts to their sites! How annoying! Not just one either... a few of them. Is there any way I can stop this? Or do I just need to stop anon users being able to post?

Blogging has slowly become something that fits into my everyday life. Just like waking up and getting dressed, at some point I try and fit time in to read some blogs, and write something. I don't even really think about it, it's just become naturally. Along with everyone here at JU, I've seen people come and go. I'm watching the site grow. I'm also seeing blogging becoming more popular. Or so I thought. I found this article on the linked website. Despite the potential of turning e...

Since joining JU, one thing that has frustrated me no end, is thinking of titles for my articles. When it comes to the title I just go completely blank and have no clue what to write. However, I have been amazed at how I can glance over at the latest article section, and just by the title have a good idea which of our great bloggers wrote it. Everyone seems to have their own style, and the more you read their stuff, the more evident it becomes. So we are going to play a little game. I h...

Question : What are the most annoying kind of blogs? Answer: The ones about blogging! Hehe! Sorry folks, this is one of them annoying blogs. I have been thinking about JU, and what kind of place it is, and well, just how much I like it. You see I have alot to thank JU for. Not only has it opened my eyes to so many subjects, that I would never have given the time of day to, and not only has it allowed me to meet a great bunch of mixed people, but it's allowed me to do what I love...

I have noticed that my blogging follows a certain pattern. That week by week, the days I feel like blogging tend to be the same, The days I feel like blogging about certain things tend to be the same. I blame school. That they had a fixed timetable for a year. It's ruined my life. I will never forget I had double French first thing on a Monday morning. That will torture me forever. Anyway here is a week in my blogging life; Monday I'm a big grump bag (blame double French, inci...

Blacklisting I think is a great concept. It allows people to choose who has a say on their blog. It allows them to write things that are close to their heart, yet they don't have to put up with people who are rude, or argue for the sake of it, or say things that aren't relevant to the thread at all. Their blog, is exactly that. Theirs. Because it is their for people to read, people think that gives them some kind of right over it. It really doesn't. That is what your blog is for. Ther...

Ok, well it's reached the point where I've had enough of this whole situation, I have bit my tongue for long enough. Now is the time to be open and honest. I shall do the usual disclaimers that these articles appear to have, if you don't like this kind of thing, blah, blah, then leave now and whatever else. As people have pointed out before, your blog is your home, where you are free to write whatever you please. At other peoples houses you remain respectful, and polite, which I do, so I ...

Blogging isn't a huge thing here in England, it's a pretty new concept that is slowly but surely catching on. Before joeuser, I'd not really came across the whole blogging experience. I'd seen these online diary things, and If I'm honest I didn't see the point in them. Ok it was somewhere to write down your thoughts, private thoughts, but why on the internet where billions of people have the ability to read them? Well really it is embracing the greatness of the internet, that you still re...
