My Single Mom Life

Yes, that is my name is the local paper tied to an article about blogging and 9/11.
What I thought were going to be questions about how the internet, how blogging, has changed or been affected by 9/11, turned out to be about 10 questions on who I was, how long I have been doing this, how many hits etc.
There were no questions about 9/11 posed to me by reporter Caryn Goebel.

When she contacted me, she asked if I would be willing to comment on a story, I agreed when she told me what the story was about but then none of the questions I thought were going to be asked, were asked.
I mean, I guess the way she posed this to me was vague, and maybe I did fill the need she had, but according to a few people who have read the article this morning and already called me, my whole part of the story seems completely out of context.
This is what she posed to me;

The story is for the features section and is about how a lot really hasn't changed in popular culture five years after 9/11. If anything, people look for more escapism through reality tv, movies and Internet. I have analysts speaking to this and talk of the increase of blogging in the past few years.

So, I need a local blogger who can tell my why they do it, what they blog about and who reads. Also, how much time they spend blogging daily.

I answered the questions about blogging she sent me, very simple basic questions. Nothing about pop culture, escapism, etc. Just why I do it, how long I've been doing it, my hits per week, stuff like that.

My sister is going to bring me the article so I can see just how out of context my part in this article seems, but according to her, it doesn't make much sense at all. Like here's this article about 9/11 and blogging and then bam, here's my name, how long I have been doing it etc and then bam, back to 9/11. Like it doesn't fit.
Oh well, not my article right?

So yeah, if any of you are coming here after reading that in today's paper, there's my side of why it sounds so weird and out of context.

Later days.
