The anonymous world of the blogger/blogette
There’s the blogger and then there’s the bloggee. The person that writes and the person who reads. The blogger writes about topics that interest them, they have knowledge of or that they feel strongly about.
The world of the blogger/blogette can be a lonely place. It’s often one way traffic. The world is peering in, but often only leave footprints, if anything at all. I suppose the blog world could be described as voyeuristic to some degree. Then again, if we bloggers/blogettes didn’t want to be noticed at all, we wouldn’t be so public about our thoughts.
I am a very private person, but one who had the misfortune of being diagnosed with breast cancer. I hoped that I might, in some small way, be able to reach out and help someone else who has in some way been touched by this disease. I also write about other topics that catch my attention, after all, I do not purely define myself as a breast cancer survivor, I’m just an ordinary person who has had to travel down a well trodden road so many before me have already taken.
I’m also a naturally curious beast and would love to know a little bit about my anonymous visitors, whether you’re in Australia, US, Canada, UK, Europe, South Africa, or from another wonderful corner of our planet. Comments here are moderated, but please feel free to leave one anyway, I’d love to hear from you.

CMF2– Day 3
Went into the city this morning to check up on my “new boob”. Well after being told that they should have something in by Wednesday, I find out they only ordered the stuff on Thursday – not happy Jan! I did have a win though as I picked up a pair of jeans reduced from $119 to 29.95, and they fit! I tried on a few tops, but they looked crappy.
I had a little sleep during the afternoon. DH picked H up after school and I cooked roast chook and veg for dinner.
Getting sick and tired of J insisting on a tissue every night when he goes to bed, so refused it tonight.
Totally forgot about the wafers today, so it will have to be tomorrow – oops!

Saussie! I read you :)
I have you in my bloglines list. Which means of course that making comments is a convoluted process of going to the main page etc. ;)
But you're right! Being a blogger can be a strangely isolated experience sometimes, not knowing who is bothering to take any notice of ones words.
In some ways that can be a good thing too though - in that being almost "anonymous" we can virtually say anything without offending "everyone" ;)
I love what you write though S. It is interesting and informative.
Keep up the good work
Luv Mitchums from over East :)
I read you too. But then, you know who I am. hehe
I know what you mean about the blogging thing, Sharen. I get lots of comments from people (in person) who say "I love your blog!" and I'm thinking, "You read it??" There's lots of stopping in, but it's very unmotivating for people not to announce their presence. LOL
I hadn't been reading your blog recently because things have been crazy-busy since the boys started school. But please know I am one of your U.S. fans. ;)
