of blogs and forums

i told a friend that i now have a blog and have started to blog.
she - 'blog' what's that ?
me - like an on line journal
she - can people leave comments on it.
me - ya, of course you can ( some you cannot )
she - oh, then it's like a forum.
me - no, it's not like a forum, it's a blog like your own home page.
she - oh. looks at me funny ( like yeah, call it whatever you want, it's a forum to me ) and walk away.

maybe i should have pointed her to tv smith dua sen's BLOGGING FOR DUNGUS.
anyway i'm thinking it's good that she's not interested. don't want her to blow my cover.
