Pretentious?

I was talking to a barista at the Online Coffee Company about blogging when I was met with this response: "What would I ever read a live journal or a blog? I think that it is pretentious to say your life is any more interesting that anyone else's. What's so important about you?" Then she followed it by the good old fall back "No offense."

Admittiedly there was some offense taken, and I think for good reason.

1) My life is more interesting than most people's lives because I am in constant need of stimulation. . . and I'm crazy.

2) A good blog is well written and contains more than journal entries of the blogger's life. It should contain observations about life, music, and art (depending on subject matter of said blog.) In this case a blog is read for it's literary merit.

3) A "Live Journal" while being a kind of blog is not a blog. It is a Live Journal. Maybe I'm being pretentious when I say that, but I feel that most people (bloggers) will agree with me.

4) You're a bitch. JOKES. . . Kind-of.

I just said to her "My life is waaaaaay more interesting." And left it at that. If you know me, you know I'm right.
