My Major Malfunction |or| Why I Won't Tell Anyone About My Livejournal

I can't see myself ever telling anyone that I have a livejournal blog. I just don't see it happening. I'll probably even try to keep it a secret, to an extent. It's not that I'm ashamed. I don't really care if others dissaprove, and I never have. The question is simply "Why

Indeed, misery is as much a part of the adventure as joy. I wish more people realized that. I know it doesn't help you appreciate it much while it's happening, but I suppose this is a part of what it means to be human.

And creating a livejournal is only a rite of passage of the North American Emo (good choice of words, by the way - I lol-ed) if the blog tends toward emo topics. You, too, have a way with words; I'd hate to see you waste that on angst.

But I know what you mean about not wanting to tell people you have a blog. Somehow I think I sound very self-centered.

I wouldn't call myself angsty. I'm a very happy person, I just sometimes forget that. ;)

Having a blog forces you to walk a fine line. On the one hand, you have to be a little self-centered, because you write about what you know, especially if you are writing a journal style. On the other hand, if you don't have anything interesting to share, some insights or cool experiences, no one will want to read it.

I think you achieve that balance fairly well. You have some very interesting observations, and you have a pretty interesting life.

With myself, I plan on using it for my own thought experiments and explorations into a more internal world. This post was an indulgence I don't plan on repeating. But thanks for taking the time to give it a look anyway.
