Thank you in advance.

There are multiple options for Free Blogging sites.
Wordpress.com - A large community for blogging with social features built in. It's also a good starting point to one day get a host and create your own site. Wordpress.org is the same software that Wordpress.com uses and it's free to use when hosting your own site with hosting providers like FastWebBuilder.com
Blogger.com - Blogger is owned by Google so they have integrated all of their services with it, including google +, youtube etc.
LiveJournal.com - This is kind of the Grand Daddy of blogs. They were originally out of San Fran, but are now owned by a Russian media company. Still a very good site with many features for interacting socially.
Tumblr.com - Tumblr is a new comer and has a lot of social activities associated with it.
I would suggest getting an account with all of them since they are free. In order to reach the most people you may want to link your blog to multiple sites so you are easily found.
You should then get a Stumbleupon.com account so you can share your blog with other like minded people. You can see other people's sites that you may enjoy very much but did not know they existed.
When you get your blog up and going you should probably look into getting a domain name as well. I've had great service with Fast Web Builder and their prices are pretty good. You can get your domain name and point it to your blog. You can find more information here:

There is something to be said for having your own site and not being tied into one service. Just remember to have fun with your blog and make sure you express yourself.
Good Luck on your new blog!
