So, I may have hinted before that I'm a bit anal, OCD, crazy in the head. Well, it doesn't just pertain to my "real life". I'm the same way with all things bloggy. Here are some of the weird things I do:
1. I often wake up in the middle of the night with an idea for a great blog post. I "write" the whole thing in my mind. Then, wake up and never write it. Even though I remember the whole thing.
2. I never partially write a post and then save it for later. I always type out the whole post and immediately publish.
3. A lot of times I sit down to write a specific post and end up typing something completely different.
4. Anal as I am, I often forget to assign a category to my posts.
5. I always feel the need to explain myself if I don't post for a couple of days. Then I realize that that's probably just stupid. Who wants to read a post about me explaining where I was?
6. I'm really bad about responding to questions asked in my comments. Sometimes I'll e-mail the person back, but usually I put it aside to answer later and then later turns into a week later and I think the person's probably already forgotten who I was, so I just go on.
7. When I comment on someone else's blog I almost ALWAYS read all the other comments. Which can be damn time consuming. But, I can't stop, I can't just leave my own comment.
8. I have the blogs that I read neatly arranged in Google Reader. I have them sorted by: People I Know, Daily Reads, Occasional Reads, Fun Stuff (usually crafty or recipe sites).
9. But, truth be told I read them all daily. I don't know why I separate them.
10. I have 135 blogs in my reader!
11. I feel really bad "Marking all as read". I feel bad even skipping one day if I've been gone or something!
12.I read daily, but probably click over to comment only once a week or if I have something incredibly intelligent to add (haha).
13. I'm a link follower. Most of the blogs that I've added to my reader are suggestions from other blogs.
Do you have weird blog neurosis?
oh i am SO going to send you on a link scavenge hunt JUST because i CAN...

I subscribe to too many blogs! I have mine organized too by people I know, couponing, etc...I need to unsubscribe to some though because it is getting really hard to keep up. I find that I read the people I know the most and then the random crafty things once in awhile. I love reading blogs though!

I have a lot of the same issues. I have tried skipping reading the comments, but I can't do it. I wonder if there is therapy for this?

I pretty much have the same issues. Have a great day!

Yeah...I'm thinking we should start a club or something because all your "things you do" are pretty much mine too!!
Except, I "write" blogs in my head while I'm in the car...I spend so much time going from class to class...I have a special notebook to jot down notes if I happen to be at a red light when a post idea hits me!!!

I have some similar issues. However, I will write out posts in my head at night, and then can't remember them the next morning. It bothers me all day too!
