I don't post here often. I keep most of my daily inanities on plans, which is only for Grinnellians. Looking back through my posts, there seem to be three kinds: updates about pregnancy, controversial political posts, and gosh-I-haven't-posted-in-a-while entries. The former two get more comments than the latter one.

Three comments:
Being pregnant is boring most of the time, with short thrilling bits here and there. However, before I was pregnant, I thought all pregnancy-related posts were fascinating. I have thought about chronicling my symptoms every week or day, to have a record.

I have a lot of controversial political views, mostly related to my strong beliefs about elites and generally concerning education, health care, and (lately) children. I have learned that many people do not agree with my views, and so I don't often share them any more.

I don't usually post small updates about my day here because I think they're boring to read.

And a question:
Would you rather I post more? And about what?

I like "How I'm going to be the best parent ever!" posts (I think they're thought provoking).

Your post reminded me that I need to read Plans more often. I'd be happy to see pregnancy updates and controversial political posts here (I wholeheartedly agreed with your last controversial post, so I like seeing your opinions). I'd even like to read those small, allegedly-boring updates about your day. Generally, whatever you'd like to post, I'd be happy to read it. :)

Well, I don't usually mind when people post their daily inanities on LJ, but then again, I'm a lot more likely to actually READ your posts than those of people who make five entries per day.

Personally, I only seem to post when I've built up a critical mass of angst about one thing or another, so whatever you do is probably better than that.

The controversial political stuff is bound to be interesting. The gosh-I-haven't-posted-in-a-while entries, while they may not get a whole lot of comments, are nice because they're a good way to keep up to date on where people are and what they're doing.
