Sunday Social: Blogging

1. What is the name of your blog? How long have you been blogging?

All-American Jess....... For anyone coming over from the hop, I've had a love/hate relationship with being called the "Good Girl" or "Girl Next Door" or "All American Girl" for basically my whole life. A lot of times, the description comes as a veiled insult, lol.

2. Why do you blog?

As my sidebar says, "to narrate my life." You know how Meredith Grey, Cher Horowitz, and other fun characters have an inner monologue (sometimes accompanied by a peppy soundtrack)? Yeah, I do that, too. So, I kind of use the blog to make my inner monologue a little less crazy and a little more like scrapbooking without the scissors, glue, and bits of paper all over the place.

3. What is the first blog you ever followed?

My friend Susan who passed away a few years ago.

4. What is your favorite post you wrote in 2012?

I have a few....

About a mouse (because while I was legitimately terrified at the time, it has made for a good story around the station)

Being Real

Old Wounds

Words of Wisdom with Heidi and Jess

Gator Game

Convos with TG

5. What are your blogging goals for 2013?

I'd like to blog at least 200 times this year. 2012 was a bit of a slacker year.

6. Name your top 3 favorite blogs.

Well, crap. I can't really do that. So many of the blogs I read are of people I've met in person and/or talk to on a regular basis. Just look to the left at my reader roll.
