As I wrote in my profile, I used to blog, but gave it up. After that I signed up on a couple email pen pal sites. I contacted some people through those, so now there are a few women that I exchange email with and two guys in Africa who don't write much but expect me to send them money. The exchanges have been mostly related to life here versus there and not the type of things I wrote about in my blog posts. Maybe I just write things that are too personal in a blog, and it takes longer for a relationship between people to develop to the point where people share that much information (i.e., a TMI between relative strangers).
