privacy in the blogosphere
Lately I've had to restrain myself. I have had a consuming urge to divulge all of the happenings of my life into this livejournal. Maybe it is because things are actually going on in my life now. I mean besides the usual. I've thought up many ways to control this urge. I thought about making my entries private. That really doesn't help though, since all the people who read my journal are friends anyway. And you don't want to know, and I dont want to have to go back and read these entries 6 months from now and say "WHY??"
Some of my friends write in initials, and I've considered that too. A code of sorts. Privacy ensuing. But really, my abbreviations are all too obvious, P^1, P^2...doesn't take a genius to figure it out. So here I am trying to avoid all of that. I'm posting about my avoidance of post. That's my new gig, avoidance.
So I've decided on a solution. I'll only post rarely, then I wont have time to tell you all about LMP and TWM....or whatever.
In other news, I am a cynic. I was in France with my family, and was reminded how pessimistic I am. Here at Trinity College, that is the norm, but my parents have the amazing skill of seeing uniqueness and beauty in everything. That annoys me to no end. WHAT? you say. What's wrong with seeing beauty in everything? Nothing. That's my point. Unfortunately, I can think of no good way to change my outlook on life. To make it so that when anything good starts to happen, I dont look and see what could possibly go wrong. Sometimes I feel as though I am always looking for disaster. I have one foot out the door.
So what can I do to open my eyes, smell the proverbial roses?
Or is it ok that that isn't my gig? Can I enjoy my own pessimistic ways?
But on the optimism front, this snow sure is pretty. Maybe the world wont melt after all.
