I wasn't expecting this

[fluffymark]

It's very confusing and I'm a little bit scared. This journal thing. I've had this journal for just over a week now, and already virtually everyone I know has read it already. Often in great and glorious detail. Isn't that just a little scary? Heaven knows what Val thinks of all this (Hello Val if you're reading this!), her being the most prominent subject in the journal as it stands. It's like i'm running my own gossip column. About me.

I'm an exhibitionist. Aren't I?

I like being an exhibitionist like this. It means I can tell people what they may not want to hear out loud or I may not want to say... typing is so much easier than speaking. Besides - this way you know you're not telling anyone anything you don't want to, especially not involutarily under the influence of booze...

The other downside of LJs, of course, is that odd people you've only met the once badger you with long rambling comments in the morning before the tea has penetrated the muck surrounding their brains ;-)

You may be right about the booze thing. This is a controlled outlet for my need to be heard. I got into huge trouble about a year ago after drinking too much at the calling. Apparently (although I fail to recall this) I managed to tell kboyd about a few things that really shouldn't have reached her ears. The resulting mess was er...messy.

Of course, the downside may be that I could easily write a journal entry after drinking too much. In fact about half of them already have been written with teh help of a glass of red wine.

Ah, but one can delete the drunken LJ posts and pretend they never happened... no one has any proof otherwise...

I'd forgotten about that! Wow, immunity from looking lke a complete prat in that way. I'm fortunate enough not to have had to resort to that yet :)
