…You check your blog more than once a day
- Just to read what you wrote for the day, or your old posts
- Just to check for new comments, or old ones
- Just to write a draft to be published for tomorrow’s entry
- Just to write a few blog entries as scheduled postings
- Just to re-read drafts or scheduled blog postings
- Just the re-write the re-read drafts or scheduled postings…and the cycle continues!
…Even the way your kid sleeps in his baby car seat can be a blogging topic!
The seemingly mundane of activities can give you ideas on what topic to write in your blog. Anything, anywhere. The hole in your husband’s socks. The fly you tried to kill in the kitchen. Long queue at the goreng pisang stall. It’s raining outside. You’re out of onions – Anything goes as topics for your blog!
…”I can’t wait to blog about this!” becomes your daily mantra
Other than that, it could also be, “I’m blogging that!” when a cashier is rude, or when you read about Dubai’s ban on wearing kain pelikat in public. (I can’t wait to blog about me cannot wait to blog!)
…Families and friends catch up with you by reading your blog
You haven’t called your sister for quite some time, and the only way she found out about your kids’ new botched haircut is from your blog – “I read your blog, Khaleef already had his haircut, ye?” Get off the laptop and get on the phone, people! (That goes for me too!)
…You take all your photographs with a caption already in your head
Whenever you’re out or at an event, you take pictures. And you already know what to write about the pictures you’re taking. “Eh, rainbow!” and while you’re clicking that digital camera, you’re already constructing sentences – “The blue skies share its space with 7 other colors today!”
…You current ‘friends’ has weird fruit names (mystrawberry), flowers (cik lilyputih) and even cars (kancil biru)!
…You create a personal badge that other bloggers can cut and paste in their blog!
It’s not enough that your loyal readers are subsribing to your blog, they ‘follow’ your blog, and they add your blog link to their blog roll – you’ve actually made sure they REALLY have your blog link in their pages with the ‘personal badge’! (Maybe I should have one too!)
…Everyday conversation with your husband is not complete without mentioning your blog at least once
- A ‘summary’ on what people are writing in the blogosphere today
- How many comments you receive today
- The best post you’ve read today and how it made you think
- A comment you got today that made you extra-happy
and a must-ask question :
“Honey/Yayang/Bang/B/Lahling – Did you read my blog today?”
…You construct ‘blog sentences’ in your head about something that’s currently happening as it is happening
You blog LIVE. Let’s say you went to a kenduri kahwin with the awesome theme color, delicious nasi minyak, gorgeous bride and groom – all that jazz. You have this swirling of words, phrases and sentences in your head that you plan to use in your blog entry about the wedding reception, even as the kompang is loudly playing! More freaky, you struggle to spot the wireless network so that you can blog there and then!
…You read all the “Why Your Blog’s Name Like That One?” articles and started berangan while answering the questions in your own head. More freaky if you imagine Little Mama interviewing you.
…Scheduled posting becomes your life-saver!
Your hands shaking, pulse racing, you can’t sit still as if there’s a durian growing out of your bum – You were so busy that you haven’t any time to publish any blog entry today! The solution? You make a lot of scheduled postings that will auto-appear in your blog pages every day for that whole week. This way, you will never be missing from the bloghosphere!
…You start thinking of lists like this!
Okay, I’m guilty as charged!
If you ‘suffer’ from any of these symptoms, you may be one step away from being a Freakoblog!
However, worry not! Just read Mommy Lyna’s article, ‘Addicted Blogaholic‘ to see that it’s really not such a bad thing! I admit I’m a blogaholic, and a freakoblog – and loving it!
