  Is this a good idea? For months, upon months, I've been reading other people's blogs as a very effective form of procrastination, yet as everything does, even that wearied. So the thought arose - why not make my own? But do people really want to listen to me prattle on about my life? Not to mention - oh, I've every once in awhile, made fun of people who wanted to put their private life on public display.
Yet the idea is tempting.. a whole slew of people you'll probably never meet, yet with whom you're intimate on terms that would never be possible without such a format. Those AOL chatrooms, taken to the next level. Not to mention my boyfriend.. who inevitably will come up multiple times (fair advance warning! ) would just be.. quite simply.. appalled. He is so woefully behind.. doesn't use IM, doesn't fiddle with Friendster - these are all "distractions," he tells me, yet he's quite happy to mess around on my accounts when I'm signed on at his place. (He finally gave up deleting IM from his computer, since every time I'd sit down at his computer, I'd just redownload it again. ) And it's only fair to say, oh, that he doesn't understand this at all. But the voyeurism is fascinating.
And that's what brings you here, isn't it. And on my part, a completely self-indulgent forum where I can just follow a stream of consciousness, and am vain enough to think that other people will actually take interest in such random musings. I can't promise anything concrete, I can't even promise anything interesting.. maybe I'll just make things up! That's always fun!.. oh, who knows how long it'll even last. It's an experiment! PS. And be forewarned.. I like to tinker. I will tinker with the format until I am happy with it. Seeing that I missed an entire episode of West Wing to choose a background colour, with which I'm still not happy.. yes, it's going to be awhile..
