Is it copying?

I fear I may be completely copying Sandra's idea here with the personal blog.... my only difference is that I don't know if I want to publish the address to other friends on myspace. I have found recently that more and more I post blogs that are diary entries only, or for my preferred friends list. Often I am talking about people that are on my friends list, numero uno being the ex. But really what I find is that there is something voyeuristically thrilling about haivng random strangers read the inner workings of my mundane life. However, it's not quite so appealing when it's people I know. Several of my friends are co-workers, some of them are students who I am not very close with. So I feel that I have to meter myself and control my postings. Maybe being incognito here will alleviate that.

I can't believe how refereshing journaling has become. I have never been big on writing long narratives, but then again, writing in general takes too long. Also, I love being able to correct my writing without messy lines, etc. Journaling electronically provides a much more finished, professional format. The end result is much more "me" and I get an immediate therapeutic effect. I don't argue with myself in my head all day.....well, ok, maybe I still do.... but the topics are different. Anyway, it's certainly helpful.

Enough for now, more later.

Its not copying at all! Cause if it is, I copied my friend Dan's! He is an amazing writer - check his out at http://iheartbloodpigs.blogspot.com/
I love to peek at others lives and have them peek at mine. I hope its not voyeurism! That's all we need is more psychological problems!
