Clarification
One of the disadvantages of having an online journal is that people will see what you've written about them and take offense.
Another of the disadvantages of having an online journal is that people will see what you've written about somebody else who's ticked you off and think it's about them anyway.
So, to a friend who thought my "heartless and mindless" bit in the post yesterday was a reference to her: :-P You really should know better, hon. You're a very sweet person (okay, sometimes you're annoying, but we've known each other for decades and should be used to annoying each other by now) and no, I don't hate you because you're happy, okay? Sheesh. I want you to be happy. You're one of the good guys.
To everybody else: If I call you a friend, I'm not going to insult you here. If you think something in one of my posts is meant as a dig at you and you have any reason to believe I think of you as a friend, then what I wrote in my post was surely not intended as derogatory toward you and probably wasn't about you at all. Yes, I've occasionally sent messages to people via certain journal entries; but no, none of them were meant to be derogatory, defamatory, depreciatory, or depilatory (wait, how did that last one get in there?!).

wiltinwickwitch posted a link to an article about Why Web Journals Suck, which of course mentions the fact that too many people start an online journal without really thinking about why they're here in the first place. Well, I'm only here because penguinboi gave me a code, and I figured as long as I'm here I may as well post some quiz results and write a little sometimes. In other words, I don't know what the heck I'm doing or why you people are reading this anyway. Pay no attention to the woman behind the curtain.

I DO enjoy it.
I came here because I simply cannot write in a paper journal. I wanted to get sme things out, analyze myself a bit, and generally foster the need to blather on and on as I do.
What I figure, and it may be a bit selficsh..is that THIS is my journal. Its my mind, what i think AT THAT MOMENT. Two seconds later i may feel another way...but AT THAT MOMENT...its MINE.
I do worry about saying things people may get offended about, but figure a disclaimer helps...LOL!
God forbid should anyone frm work see this thing tho...o my, the things I write about them...should be edited at one point, but...*shrug* o well.

Heh, you do write a few things about your work that it might not be prudent for them to see. At least you've got the posts protected now, so it could be worse!
