Starting a thread for users to randomly post whatever they're doing at the moment. Think of it like Twitter for Crave:

One rule - start your post with "Dear blog".

Dear blog,
I am glad to see that people are adding to comma to the mandatory "Dear blog" text.

In other news, about to start more proof reading of my masters thesis. I'll be so glad when it's finished and I can move on with my life :-)

Dear blog,
This is the first time since my last "Dear blog" post that there hasn't been a new reply on the board somewhere. So, I'm making a run for it and getting back to my thesis!

Dear blog,
As this is 'our' forum, I believe we should set a few rules.
1. Absolutely NO using of the acronym 'LOL'

Dear blog,
I've been proof reading for so long today, that I feel punch-drunk!

Any chance of this thread being stickied, please?

Dear Blog,

Dave, get off the computer, NOW! Go out. Do something. Go to the local ASDA and buy something. You need a rest dude.

Dear blog,
I didn't like taking French either. That's why I tried German instead. I know enough German to say "I speak very little German", in German.

I think I could also say "Don't hit me, it's my birthday" or something weird like that :-)

Dear blog,
The thing that makes time go slower is gravity wells. So if you want time to pass faster, get to the highest floor in your building and stay away from heavy objects.
