as i read peoples ljs, i realize something.
the funny thing about lj is its not really very much like a journal at all.
its more like a place where you write about your day, or provide vague hints and subtle allusions to events and ideas that are currently going on in your life. All to entertain your friends, and maybe, just maybe somone will pick up one of those hints and ask you about it.
this is most evident in journal entries consisting of one line. maybe something like:
"my life sucks"
of course when people ask you about it, you will initially try to deny knowing what theyre talking about. This is all in the hope that they will inquire further, and after being asked enough times, you will feel justified in telling them.
after all, they wouldnt leave you alone about it.
noone writes what they really want to write in these, because there is always at least one person who they would rather didnt see a certain sentance, or a certain paragraph, or a certain entry.
even those who make their journals friends only do not unveil their feelings in detail. the only people who truly write down exactly how they feel about things are those who have the livejournal and dont tell anyone they have it, or people who write in like a composition notebook haha.
i suppose that having a journal for your eyes only would allow you to put everything down there, and in turn be more therapeutic.
oh, and just so you know, this is entirely a random rant. im REALLY tired and i was thinking about this earlier haha.
oh yes, and im sorry if i seemed like i was attacking lj. I LOVE LJ WOOT WOOT LJ WOOOOOOT. just thought id share that, even though everyone already knows that haha. WOW im so tired this is not making too much sense.
so don't think that im putting this here because im all sad and pouty and emo and blah i cant put down my true whiny feelings because people will know wah wah wahh.
nahh i was just thinking about this and thought id put it down here, because the real entry is going to be boring as hell.
here it is, haha.
oookkk so today was ok i guess.
school was tiring as usual, i almost died of exhaustion this morning when i woke up. oh how i can not wait for saturday so i can sleep in.
i really really need to shave, i think its gone beyond scruff and now i just look like an unkempt hobo haha.
oh well.
see wasnt that horrendously boring? i bet your glad i put that whole rant at the begining.
i love lj, and wowwww am i tired.
