Something new, something different.
I'm going to see about keeping a journal here over the summer. I've decided on a couple of ground rules for myself to start it off.
Number 1: Every post will be public. If I'm not willing to say something to everybody who reads this, then I'm not really willing to say it at all. Friends only posts and friends groups create divisions between people, and while that has its place, that's not what this journal will be about.
Number 2: Anyone can comment, anytime. I'll read them. If I have something to say, I'll say it. If you have something to say, say it. I'll be listening.
Number 3: I will try to be interesting and honest. Otherwise, what's the point? If you're dull, no one wants to read your shit, and if you're lying, Oprah will find out and kill you. Really. I'm not running for anything at the moment, so I have nothing to gain from lying in a journal. Of course, I do value some of my privacy, so I'll not be using last names, and I may change other details to protect that and the privacy of others. It is the internet.
I may not post all that often or all that regularly, but when I do, I'll be following my rules.
Who else has set rules for themselves on the internet, and what are they?
