I was talking with a good friend of mine today and she told me that she likes reading my blog because I write about a lot of different things. I have also had people tell me that my blog is "refreshing" because I keep it honest. I'm grateful for these compliments, but I think I would like a little more input. So, readers, I'm looking to you for some constructive criticism - good and bad, don't be shy. I'm a big girl, I can handle it (I think...).
So, to those of you that read, skim, glance, stalk, check up on, what have you, my blog, I have a couple of questions:
1. What types of posts would you like to see more of from me?
2. What types of posts would you like to see less of?
3. Is there anything that would make my blog more enjoyable to read?
Thanks for your input, I look forward to reading your responses! (and PLEASE respond!)

Here are my thoughts:
Things I'd like to see more of...
1)Rants. Not that I think you should be negative, but I like your style. You're funny & not hateful about it. Like your rant about the closet raining, that was fun to read, even though it was a lousy experience.
2.) More art. That's always nice to see. But I am a little biased...
Things I'd like to see less of...
Posts about being a college graduate. Cuz it's starting to give me a complex.
JUST kidding.
I tried to think of something, but I couldn't. I even scrolled all the way down the page. :)
Oh, and nice picture banner at the top. I like it.
1. I like the really personal ones. Where you talk about dating, your family, or the gospel. Your feelings and thoughts on that stuff.
2. Vague ones. Ha ha because I usually end up having more questions.
3. Update more!
1. More poetry and more of the same honesty.
2. I haven't read it enough to find posts that annoy me.
You asked a good question, and I felt like I should give you a good answer. So, I went through and skimmed over the whole thing and have boiled it all down to three topics on which you write, of which I enjoy. They are, in no particular order:
Lists. "Some things that make me happy", "Confessions", and "I'm sorry that I..." are the ones that easily make me laugh the hardest. And since I love to laugh, I had to list these. They're great, and anytime I know you're putting together a couple of paragraphs on a single topic, I know I'm in for a treat.
Catch-up/rant. "The Knocking", "Crap analogies" and "I think my brain is dying" are all thoroughly enjoyable. All three of them give an insight while letting me know what you think about. Sometimes their funny, sometimes their sad, but the key (and what makes them good) is that they're always sincere. Sincerity is the most powerful writing implement. If you believe in what you're writing, the audience will enjoy it.
General theories. This is, admittedly, a personal opinion. I enjoy hearing what other people feel are fundamental truths. It's been a while since you've thrown up a legit, developed one-like "A few thoughts"- but when you do, I know I enjoy them.
Also, it is nice to read the poetry you put on here. I don't always get it, but that's because I'm a little slow. And the art was great. Who isn't impressed when you can create something out of nothing?
Ok. I feel that this answer is thorough enough. Mostly, it's just a "thank you" for the 2+ years you've been sharing your ideas.
I love it all. Just say what's on your mind. Miss you already.
I agree. I love it all. I read your blog and wish I could express myself the way you do! (sorry I'm not much help) :)
