I’ve been reading a blog called Ive been cryn for almost a month. After awhile I began to question why I was still reading her blog. From time to time, I considered letting her blog go during one of my feed purges, but each time I let her be. Why?
Kathryn is young. She’s pretty. She’s occasionally funny. She’s occasionally heartbreaking (to me, as a mom). She’s occasionally boring. She’s just a normal abnormal normal young woman. So why keep her blog? A few days ago I decided I keep her blog because of her photos. Almost every entry includes a photo that she has taken of herself. No I’m not a leche. I’m not stalking the kid. That’s not why the photos have kept me reading and watching.
Today’s post from Kathryn explains it. Kathryn seems obsessed with herself and I like that. It makes me incredibly happy. Young women should be obsessed with themselves. With their bodies. With their feelings. With finding their place in the world. There is nothing wrong with that. NOTHING.
Your world, it’s all about you. It’s good, even when it isn’t. Liking your life, even when you don’t- that’s what it is all about. Kathryn knows that – she’s young and she’s got it figured out. I like that and respect it. Don’t you?

Yes I dolike and respect that.
Do you ever wonder why I read your blogs so many times a day? I kept bloglines because of my feeds and I check it umpteen times a day. Sheese what a boring life I lead, but it keeps me occupied.
Of course I don’t wonder why you read my blogs so often. You read them because you adore me, just like everyone else – particularly those people who read it at like 4am. My blog is the best way to start the day, and finish it too.
I have to tell you that I look forward to the day when I am living your life – sans the UK part and the living with a man part lol. I envy you often and wish YOU blogged more so I could live more vicariously through you.
You need a camera for those bird feeder photos, sweets. When I win the lottery, I’m going to send you one. 😉
I have one of those too. I still haven’t figured out why I keep reading. Maybe because it takes less than an hour and there are no commercials.

Ha I use to read that but it felt funny reading about why I hate my husband. And also, well, I have enough hate in my world. But every now and then I click over there and just smile.
I have a really great camera. I just can’t find the cord. Soooo I have to wait until I can afford to buy a new one then I’ll go mad posting pictures. It’s pretty expensive and you know my cash flow problem.
I replaced the cord for my digital with a universal one at target that cost less than $10. It fits two different kodaks and a nikon we have. If I’d bought the replacement cord from kodak it was like $40.
kathryn is really really cool. so is what she represents. i agree 100% with what you said, and i think it’s amazing.
she’s poetic, starved for the things she wants and loves, and isn’t afraid of stating her… well.. state of mind.
I’ve been a viewer of her blog now for about 2 months. she’s graced me with her comments as well since i’ve also started another blog you could find on my LIST…
love your site too. I’ll visit often.
take care.
