Everyone is a critic. I appreciate the few people who care, truly and completely. As always, it is great to entertain the cruel, confused or bored. I'll check web traffic at this blog to see if it is worth publishing any of my crude ramblings writing. So long for now! Thanks for reading!

This is so humiliating, I hope no one I know reads

I don't want to tell you what to do, it's up to you, obviously, but I would recommend not having a public journal on the Internet. It's too easy for people to find you. I keep my LJ/DW accounts "friends only." There's still a chance people can find you, but at least (unless something goes horribly wrong with the servers or security on a given day) they can't read your journal without your permission. I've had my LJ for 8 going on 9 years, and I've never had a problem. You've seen the stuff I write.

Don't publish your full RL name anywhere on the journal, either, because if people are looking for you by name, they can find that, and even if they can't read the journal ... I don't know. I just wouldn't do it.

In general, I think it's a bad idea to keep a public journal on the Internet, if you're going to write about very personal issues. A blog about a specific topic is one thing, especially if you have some expertise in or passion for a subject, but personal writing is something I would prefer to keep personal. As in, not for public consumption.

I have read your blog, I dunno why I'm worried or insecure. Nothing happened really, it was just awkward when & how my coworkers let me know they found it. Yeah, I dunno plenty of people talk about personal matters here. This is more than I can process right now, I need a break from blogging.

OK - I'll still be here when you get back. Sorry you have such nosy coworkers.
