I work in the conservative “bible belt” south of the US, we weren’t even allowed to advertise our spring musical last year on campus because the title was “Urinetown” If there is any indication on my blog that it is me, it can be troublesome, so I just protect it.

I have parents, man, they have more free time than me! Being married does not mean you no longer have time.

There are so many amazing bloggers out there both married and single. And yes, I sometimes wonder what will happen to my blog when I'm gone (even though that will be a long time from now). It's sad to imagine that it might all be wiped away someday. I certainly don’t plan on stopping blogging when I get married! There are so many amazing bloggers out there both married and single.

I'm married and I am a Muslim. My husband lets me do the things I love because he respects me as another person sharing his life. Like you, I don't need extravagant life. Just make sure I have constant internet connection! it’s kinda sad if being married means stopping doing the things you love to placate your husband and his ego. I’m married and I am a Muslim.

Although it has no fixed hours (very envious), it does take up a lot of your time (at the moment) because you're 'single'. Once you get married - would it be possible/fair to dedicate as much time to the blog on a daily basis, taking time away from newly married life, or a life with kids? @Professor Mikey - ooh you are mentioning a HUUUGE stereotype which is ofcourse spun in a million different directions before it has been reported! It is true that issues do happen - but they are in no way related to religion. These happen more specifically in a miniscule percent of communities. I am sure these incidents happen in regions where the religion is not Islam, but are not reported because it won't sell.

Where would anyone get the notion that it's just for single people? I suppose a lot of people start blogs that don't really go anywhere and at some point, they feel like they "grow out of it," but I think it depends on the person and the type of blog they are running. If I look back at the kind of blogs I had when I was 12 and 13, then sure, I've grown out of THAT. But as I've grown and matured, so has the type of blog I keep, and I think some people misunderstand that, not realizing that when I say "blog" I don't mean the netspeak-filled, tacky-coloured xanga I used to have. So, I don't think it's about age or where you are in your life, but what your perspective is on blogging and how you go about doing it. It's just like keeping a journal -- there are plenty of adults out there who keep journals for their whole lives, but to some, the idea of keeping a "diary" is one attributed to young girls.

Unfortunately, the fact that I am employed means that my blog takes on more privacy as I tend to blog about work just as much as I blog about politics and events. There are days I wish I could have a more public blog to spark discussion, but I love to teach and produce art. Maybe someday I will be secure enough in a job that I don't worry about someone stumbling onto my blog. You are welcome to friend me, link on twitter, just make sure I know it's you or I will deny. I think the only worry you have with getting married is the fact that in some ways it comes with Islam, I have heard horror stories of wives being killed over the smallest things. Just make sure you find a guy who doesn't assume you will just fall in line and you will be just fine. Hey not all of us that blog are unemployed..lol.

I don't find a need to change who I am because a person decided to tag along in my life... People who blog for fun don't know the true or even real meaning of what blogging is supposed to initially be about. I thank people like Mona- A person who is dedicated and passionate towards their blog who aimlessly, points out everything that the majority of people in this day and age don't think about, or better yet don't even consider the importance of such discussions.. Keep doing what you do..You've truly inspired me, and hopefully other people feel the same way! Exactly, I agree with the both of u..
