And now I'm feeling totally chagrined. Is that the right word?
Anyway, even though I thought I was being supersecret about all of this diary stuff, I'm not apparently, and my friend Synjin LaDuque(he's a wonderful writer, by the way. Check him out over at livejournal.com) has been reading for MONTHS. MONTHS! And here I thought I was talking to myself, Riley and Jessie! And with all the care I took with psyeduonyms I'm sure (I know in fact!) that he's got it all figured out. And really I'm not that hard to figure out really. I use my first, middle and last names here, and though I worked to protect the privacy of the people I talk about, I don't veil my own very well. LOL!
So, hi Synjin!
Over break this on-line diary thing has become all the rage among my friends. I've just started reading because I wanted to ask permission first, but now, man, I'm just going to go gung-ho and readreadread. Actually, it's very enlightening to read some of the things I've been reading. It really fleshes some things out, you know? It helps me understand and see both sides to some stories.
But man do I feel exposed! Not like it's a bad thing or anyone's fault really because when you put your journal on the web, you run the definite risk of people coming across it, and in some ways I'm really kind of glad they did. But now I want to go back over things and make sure I didn't betray any confidences here that I shouldn't have, and clean things up and try to be wittier and funnier and stuff. Because a couple of these friends are completely hilarious and witty and manage to be deep at the same time. Oy.
So anyway, yeah, I'm on the online diary bandwagon too! And I think I win the longevity award!
