a note on blogging

cuz says:
I've always wondered what would happen if I actually try and document everything that happens in a day.
cuz says:
the problem is, how do you know what _not_ to write about
cuz says:
about 70% of anything in my day can't really be shared with the rest of the planet
cuz says:
mainly cause it would be a bit rude.
totalwaste says:
that's why blogs have no rules
cuz says:
they have rules.
cuz says:
you just haven't encountered one of them yet.
cuz says:
for example:
cuz says:
you have girlfriend A, call her 'turnip'
cuz says:
you sleep with girl b, we'll call her 'sock'
cuz says:
now if you've been writing about turnip while you're getting some sock
cuz says:
then someone is going to get upset
cuz says:
of course, the inference isn't literal. it's just an example. but the point remains.
cuz says:
and the point is
cuz says:
there are rules. they are just vague.
totalwaste says:
that's why anonymity is all important. and to be fair, there are PLENTY of things i *don't* write about, but most of the things i do put down there are about people who either won't read it at all, or people, like "spot", who i don't CARE if they find out
cuz says:
aha
cuz says:
so there is self-censureship
cuz says:
now I just don't think I could deal with that
totalwaste says:
and that's the primary reason why i don't use real names - there's no easy way to prove that the picture isn't of myself
cuz says:
it's not you, it's a facsimile
totalwaste says:
self-censureship is the most important: it's the same thing as not telling turnip to her face that your foot's in the sock
