It just occurred to me that my journal entries have steadily declined in personalness. I suppose it's because I've realised that PEOPLE I KNOW actually READ this stuff, god knows why. I mean, how do you write what you think about someone who'll read it the next day? That's a way to lose friends, especially since "What I really think" changes from week to week, or from minute to minute on really bad days.

I mean, it hasn't been all that much of a problem yet - I haven't had anything major to hide like, having a crush on someone who's likely to read this or hear about it thru friends, but it's only a matter of time, what with teenage hormones and shit, or if not that something major is going to happen and I'll be tactless about it. I've been lucky so far. Only minor things, but that won't last forever. This is fucking pointless, you know? I'd be better off keeping a diary.

Well, whatever, I guess I'll just keep writing pointless shit.

O_o yeah, i guess... i personally try to avoid doing anything that later needs justifying... but, yeah, if I did have something personal to write I probably COULD use the private post thing, and I don't even bother with that for my random depressive posts :P

But what i really meant was writing about OTHER people. I wouldn't make it a private post because I might not realise I was being tactless. So the way to avoid that is to not write about other people except in trivial detail. I'm not saying it's sensible, it's just what I do.
