While to me, online is in many ways the same as offline, and life is everything that someone is, there's still that aspect to "real life", or meeting IRL (because even if I met you over video/chat/facetime, etc it's still nice to meet in person).
In that way I won't say that real life has gotten in the way of my surge to blog more this year, and specifically this summer, because blogging is a part of life too--it's not just this compartmentalized space that I think of as not "real life"--but other life events have needed their own time and space and it's just needed to sit for a bit over the last few weeks.
Should be back to some more regular blog time (and seriously--I have some writeups on Warrior that just need to be done).
