Look ma! I'm published!

[blustocking]

I miss my journal. This isn't honesty. This isn't purging. If I stay true to my nature and post what I feel by being vague, then people will read into it. Perhaps I should preface every entry with "If you think this is about you, it isn't."...even if it is.
This place is just a giant orgy of ego-stroking and reassurance, and I am no exception.
We are messy little creatures.

I should post really hateful, true to the bone things and see who drops me.

I just had a 5 minute conversation with someone who was worried about being dropped from our Danni mailing list when he switches ISP's. Shoot me now.

My thoughts on the subject...

This is why I'm not too concerned about the number of "friends" I have. It allows me to write whatever I want and not worry about offending anyone (but you, which I don't think I would do anyway since I don't have anything bad to say about you).

I like LJ because I type much faster than I write and because it's online, I can access it anywhere. Also, it allows me to keep in touch with YOU(!) in a way that's different from e-mail. This allows me to share feelings and emotions and such, stuff you might not always e-mail your friends about. But, I can see where people who have hundreds of "friends" how it can become much more than just a way to keep in touch with someone or to let them know what's going on in your life or even just a release that's personal for you. If you had to worry each time you wrote something that you might offend one of the fifty people who read your journal, you probably wouldn't have anything to say. (This is the generic you by the way, not YOU-you. Make sense? :) )

I'm actually contemplating at the moment whether to send my LJ link to Steve, Amanda, etc. so they can keep in touch with me easier or at least to see how I am on a day-to-day basis, if they wanted. But, I wonder if I want more people reading it. I kind of like knowing that no one really sees it.
