My analysis of Kristin's LiveJournal Blog

In the story "And You Thought Your Family Was Weird", Kristin once owned a LiveJournal blog, which she had since the eighth grade. (That was when everyone learned about Internet responsibility.)

Anyway, Kristin writes on her blog about the things she doesn't like. She doesn't like movies or TV shows and will only read a book if it's for a homework assignment. More often than not, she rants about her boring, uneventful life.

But reading her LiveJournal causes her to reconcile with her cousins, who she hasn't seen in almost 10 years. Reading about how her cousins treated her better than her own parents shocks her into understanding her own issues.

When Kristin gets to her new high school, she's forced to stop using LiveJournal, as the student council banned the usage of LiveJournal (whether at school or at home). With great reluctance, Kristin closes her LiveJournal blog and migrates all her blog posts to Blogger (as everyone in the school is ordered to use Blogger). Yet she vows that her time on LiveJournal wasn't a waste, as it taught her what she learned about blogging.
