I was talking to a friend about keeping a blog the other day and she wanted to read it. I pointed out that it has about 4 entries, none of which are particularly amusing or fascinating. I still didn't want her to read it though and I'm not sure why.
There's nothing here I wouldn't talk to her about anyway and I'm not very good at keeping up with it so I doubt if her interest would be sparked for more than a second. On the other hand, I'm not in the least bit bothered by people I don't know reading it and forming whatever opinions they want to either.
I think the thing is that I want something for myself at the moment and if my friends start to read it I'll get even more reticent about writing in it.
I don't feel comfortable writing about Jack/my friends/my emotions in any depth here in case anyone comes to read it. The original idea was to keep a record of what I was thinking about at this point in time for future reference, but I really don't feel comfortable writing about a whole wealth of stuff, good and bad, I'm experiencing at present.
Which makes the whole thing rather pointless really.
I'm not quote sure why anyone keeps these things in the first place. Do they do it to make friends and connect with other people? Or do people keep them, as I intended to do, as something to look back on later?
This is a particularly incoherant entry - I blame the fact I had terrible insomnia and nightmares last night and have been in work since 8am for a meeting that never happened.
PS. Off to Granada for a week tomorrow - hurrah!

I am totally the same. Think I do it as some kind of self-indulgence... that I don't want my friends to know about!! I also have aspirations to write a column in a sunday paper magazine and i figure this is one way to practice lol.
