My blog gives me an outlet to ramble on about all of the useless pop culture trivia and celeb gossip that seem to pile up in my brain. I’m full of snark for those who deserve it (usually the young Hollywood Firecrotches) but full of syrupy sweetness for those people, places and things that make life worth living.

What haven’t I done for a living? My professional life is boring, so I’m pursuing more freelance writing opportunities.

I’ve always been fascinated with pop culture, and I’m able to retain that kind of information really well, often without even trying! Real life can be tough, and talking about music or movies or what crazy Britney is doing is just a great escape - for me AND my readers.

A little over 2 years.

Wow, I really don’t know…and I check my StatCounter quite often! I’m sure it’s under 50 readers per day, but I usually just pay attention to how many comments I get. I don’t think I’ve ever cracked 30 comments on any one post, but that’s fine with me. Sure, I’d love for my blog to become hugely popular but then I probably wouldn’t have time to really interact with the folks on my blogroll, and that’s part of the fun of doing this.

If my blog has an income, it’s been hiding that info from me!

I think anyone who gets a kick out of the absurdity of our culture’s fascination with fame and fortune, music fans, couch potatoes and people obsessed with John Travolta would enjoy my blog. Those who don’t get or don’t enjoy sarcasm probably wouldn’t dig it.

On average, it’s probably around an hour or so. There have been days where I’ve been blogging and when I look at the clock, I realize that something like 4 hours have flown by! Then, of course, there are days when I don’t blog at all. Bad, bad me. But I just blame it on the celebs being boring.

Because I don’t focus on the same stories that all the other pop culture blogs do. Sure, I try to stay on top of all the latest happenings and give my take on them, but sometimes I get sick of reporting on Paris Hilton’s daily shenanigans. Oh, and I’m funnier than that Pop Candy chick.

I don’t know that I’m in a position to give advice on that topic…I wouldn’t really consider myself a huge blogging success! I certainly built up my audience over the years, mostly by perusing other blogs as much as possible and commenting on them. That’s the easiest and quickest way of gaining readers. But leave REAL comments. It’s very easy to spot people who just come and leave throwaway remarks in an effort to get more readers to their blogs. That’s annoying and insulting. I’d rather someone not read my blog at all than pretend to read it.
