Are You The Sterotypical Blogger?

[xpirate]

I don't fit the described stereotype. While I am a young male, I am tall and lanky. Most of my at home time is spent on the computer, however, that's generally between the hours of 10PM and 6AM. Other times I am either at school, out with friends, on stage (YAY PERFORMING ARTS), or out saving the world. I don't flame on Digg.

I do probably fit a certain blog stereotype that involves being a nerd, spending a lot of time on the internet, and dancing naked in the street. Okay, nix that last one, but I couldn't think of anything else.

I dunno, I think there are sooo many types of bloggers out there now that there really is no typical or "stereotypical" blogger anymore.

I'm confusing myself.
But I have enjoyed everyone's replies!

Haha, it 'is' interesting to see how everyone thinks differently about it, huh?

No, I am not young, male, and pudgy.

I am......well, age is of no consequence(I know....that means old right?), female, and thin.

Not at all, I am a young, athletetic male, who plays sports and goes to school. I just blog for fun when I get a chance.

Young, male, pudgy with no outside life? A person who spends you day staring at the computer screen and flaming people on Digg?

Young at heart. in a middle aged body. Surprisingly not pudgy (despite middle age). Outside life - well yes. I spend some days staring at the computer screen but otherwise I'm travelling, running workshops and seminars (nothing connected with the computer) and being a part-time single father to my 5 year old. When I am staring at the screen it's looking and reading rather than staring. I mean it's not manic, glazed over eyes staring. And I have no idea what 'flaming people on Digg' means, but it doesn't sound good, whatever it is.

So not really stereotypical I hope.

Probably not! I don't like computers much - I used to work in IT Support which I think put me off. I spend about 1 hour a week on my blog, as it's quite a specific blog. Other than that I like lazing about, reading books and playing with my children.

I know I don't fit the type. I'm not young, I'm female, and when I am not online, I am usually outside and active. Whitewater rafting, hiking, and mountain bike riding are some of my favorite activities.

What about you? How are you different

ok the things that are stereotypical i will put in caps

i'm YOUNG, healthy and in shape, I'M A COMPUTER NERD, i have friends lol

am i stereotypical? i don't know?

I'm rather young, Female and very skinny (broken three)
However! I am an internet junkie. I may not look it (I'm extremely social, and won't turn down an invite to go biking etc) but I'm ...well, I'm a forum lurker XDD
BUT! I don't go on Digg. :3
And I collect dolls. Not sure how that has to do with anything else. But I thought I'd throw that out there. Any other BJD collectors? XD

I don't really consider myself to be a stereotypical blogger as I tend to spend much more time in the pub than I spend on the keyboard.

I tried to combine the two once, however the lighting in the pub is just too dark and after a few drinks I tend to use my laptop as a rather large coaster.
