"i was just reading a scary book" -Shrek
still trying to get the hang of this whole "blogging" thing...
it suprises me still that people are putting their diaries on the web and letting total strangers read them... i mean, some of these guys could be weirdos! correct me if i'm wrong but aren't diaries supposed to be private, or did i miss that lesson? you know, all the "How could you come into my room and go through my stuff and read my diary, DAD/MOM?! i hate you! *sob*" -slam door in face of parent/s- "But we did it because we love you! And that Jason boy just didn't look proper! He has a tattoo for God's sake!.......... at least we didn't say anything about the condoms we found in the trash.................... you're grounded, young lady!" -parents storm off-
"His name is Benjamin!!!"
ok, where were we? ah yes, the whole privacy issue thing...
i guess its like saying you're "okay" but then start to breathe and sigh heavily and drum your fingers as you sip your coffee with 8 lumps instead of your usual none and *gasp* non-low fat creamer. you don't want people to know, but you do... its a secret, but its not...
because, i mean, come on... the best part about secrets is that... its NOT a secret... you know what the secret is, so that makes it not secret... get it? oh, yeah and there's that matter of having a connection with the person you're sharing the secret with, you know, trust and friendship yadda yadda... -make hand in shape of duck's mouth. open and close hand and grimace as eyes roll-
so, a secret is only secret when other people know that its supposed to be a secret. sharing a secret, and then trying to keep a secret secret, and knowing that it won't stay secret for long is all the fun! and the belief that only you and this other person/people share it exclusively is the proverbial icing on the cake.
and so it is with blogging! yay! an epiphany! *beam*
so gather 'round you voyuers, you! read me! let me tell you my deepest, darkest secrets as i divulge in yours! let us rejoice that in a life of friends and family, we should find comfort and solice in a web full of strangers!
because who cares if you know my secrets? not i faceless reader, not i!
