Don't have answers for everything, but I check my flist pretty constantly when I'm bored. Usually because I'm, uh, bored (or, alternatively, when I should be doing something I don't feel like doing). And I have myself friended for two reasons - one of which is no longer applicable, but my friends page used to be in a different format from my journal page, and I was curious how an entry would look in a different formatting. And I keep myself friended now because I like knowing where my posts are in relation to other posts. I don't post much, and that's easier for me than remembering dates and times.
As for why I post, hmm. My lj is pretty much all fanning all the time, on the assumption on the things that make me squee probably will do the same to other fans. Which isn't to say I don't have a life outside of One Piece (perhaps not a very interesting life, but I do have one), but I tend to use the net for escapism. It also might be because I keep a daily written journal, have for almost a decade now, so the whining and worries of my "real life" get dumped on those private pages. Can't say for certain, but a lot of people on my flist are writers like myself, and I imagine they, like me, find the act of writing down those stresses therapeutic. And since they're in the habit of keeping a blog, that's where it gets written.
And why I'm commenting to this now, with a whole essay no less - uh, I'm at work. And thus bored. And I've been thinking lately myself about the whys of blogging, so some o' that pondering just got dumped here...
oh, and hi ^_^ yah, I've been quiet but I'm still here, damn pirates don't have all my fangirl soul...I've squirreled a few pieces away to enjoy your Naruto fic and such ^^
