Suggested by Shaker BGK: What life goal are you working towards that your friends/family/co-workers do not understand?
BGK answers: "I'm trying to learn French, and while I have some very supportive friends and family, they do not understand it at all."
My answer would be "that whole zany blogging thing." Some people I know get it, but a lot don't, either by virtue of not understanding why I'd want to put my self and opinions out there, not understanding why anyone else cares what I have to say, lol, or not understanding wtf a blog is. And, for the most part, the not-understanding leans more toward the mystified rather than the actively hostile.
