| Current mood: crappy Subject: The Problem With Online Journals |
|
| Don't get me wrong, I love my journal. It just seems they cause so much trouble. As a rule, I don't give out my journal URL to many people, (and I'm careful putting some things onto restricted.) I used to have this on my MSN profile, but when people I don't know very well can read it and look at things I would rather they didn't see, I realise that it wasn't such a good idea. (I really fucked up the tenses in that last sentence, didn't I?) I don't particularly like the idea of a lot of people I know reading this, to be honest, but since it's up on the web for all to see, I'm not going to complain. The trouble is, when people read your journal, they learn so much about you. Not minor things about appearance, exact location, that sort of thing, but they can see how you feel inside. It's like a window into your mind and your emotions. People forget that someone other than some stranger surfing the internet can read their journal. It gets treated like a private journal because you don't expect people you know to see it. I mean, I mostly have this journal because it's a convenient way of noting events and feelings, and I can customise the layout easily. I'm rambling and I can't be bothered to continue this. I feel dizzy. |
