Happy First Post of 2005

Jan 05, 2005 18:43

Well...this project should be interesting. Selph and I are looking up stuff, and it's turning out to be VERY nice (at least what I've got). I'm just gonna copy and paste what I've posted on various boards, and anyone is free to discuss them here:

( How Does the Internet Affect You? )

I'll have to disagree with you about the atheism thing. I stopped following Catholicism, because, well, why would I subscribe to any religion that tells me I'm a hell-bound pervert? What kind of self-loathing faggot would that make me?;) Obviously, giving up organized religion doesn't make one an atheist. I am an atheist, but it's definitely not because of anything anyone has ever posted on the internet. Reading someone type "0Mg I d0nt beleiv 'n g0D" isn't gonna change my opinion.;) I'm an atheist because I don't see the logic in the existence of a god. Of course, I can't disprove God's existence, but by the same token I have no reason nor proof to believe it. But definitely not because it's a cool internet trend ( ... )

However, I see a great deal of LJ-ers tbat type NOTHING but negative/depressing/OMG-I-dont-have-a-boyfriend-Im-gonna-kill-myself posts, and it does often seem attention-whorish.

me = guilty as charged. but i don't do it to get attention, i just type how i feel.

but its better than keeping it to yourself.

livejournal = therapy

I've found that just writing it out helps. Seriously. I'll write something, then either Private it or delete it. I feel better just getting all my thoughts out and then thinking about what I wrote. And if that doesn't work, then I'll talk to someone the next day in school (two people immediately come to mind). Face to face is ALWAYS better than online.

Also, it makes me feel weird when I think that complete strangers could know what's going on in my life. Which is why this is the only journal entry I've made in a LONG time that isn't protected. I've had...bad experiences with that kinda stuff, and honestly I surprised myself when I realized I HADN'T been privating my entries.
