An unfortunate shift
For any of my friends, this won't be such an issue.
I'm have made my journal friends-only.
If you want to join the bandwagon and be my friend, please do so. :) But you'll need to identify yourself first, and if I don't know you, you no gets in.
The reason for this change is a particular individual from the town of Wellesley, who has apparently been reading my journal for a long time now. While I've had lots of people reading my journal, it does bother me that this particular individual, an older man, refuses to concur with me that the fact he reads not only my journal, but a group of OTHER Wellesley students' journals, is just downright creepy. To justify this fact, he has gone all around Robin Hood's barn to explain how he doesn't talk to this group of people because of this, nor this group of people because of that, nor people his age...
...so clearly this means that he should be reading young women's journals?
The end result of this was his posting anonymously (as he always does, with the tag signature of -v-) in my journal saying that he recognized me at Reunion from my pictures. Quite frankly... it had not crossed my naive mind that this could happen, and freaked me out, because I don't know the motives of this person.
I am taking responsibility, because clearly it's foolish to suggest someone stop reading your journal. The internet is a vast place, and you have no control over what people do. So, my journal is getting narrowed a bit. Content will not change - oh trust me, that doesn't happen that easily - but you've just got to be a friend.
Lensmoorians are welcome, high school friends, other Wellesley students... just click the image or "gimme love" above to leave a comment and I'll approve you. Just tell me who you are and where you're from.
I'm sorry... deeply. However, I feel that a lot of the Wellesley students who are affected by this certain person share the sentiment of being annoyed, I feel that I am the only person who is reacting in the manner I am - a mixture of disgust, intrigue, and annoyance. However, I am glad that he made himself known to me because I have realized that I truly do not know my own audience.
