Diaries and stuff
Nothing much to write about right now. However, I feel like writing, so here I am. The thing I'm thinking about the most is the topic of how forthcoming a diary/entry should be.

Obviously, there are some things that shouldn't be on an entry. Such things like amount of money made or in the bank. Also, there is things like what you think of some diarists. Even if its good, I think you got to be really careful. You don't want to show how much you favor one over the other. I think that creates problems or feelings of alienation.

Then, there are things that many don't put on diaries that they should. I probaly stop reading a few diaries because it was obvious the author isn't really saying as much as they could. I mean, keeping an idenity of yourself or someone you know is ok. However, I find that diarist often don't put out the whole story. Certain things just don't add up. You know this is true when the diarist never puts a negative thing about themselves but always puts negative things about others. So yeah, that's a pet peeve of mines.

If your name is to the left of my diary, then your ok. People there are friendly, open and honest. Usually they don't leave a lot of things out.

As for myself, I find that over the years, I have been a lil more guarded. I try not to dicuss things that can be used against me. Also, I find that I am biased towards myself and take my side. *grin* I'm usually right in the fights I write about, but often wrong in the fights I don't write about. LOL. Funny when you think about it. Anyways, I always find myself balancing what I should write and what is better kept in my head. GTG

I know that I used to be a lot more honest in my entries than I am now (part of the reason why there's less entries too), find it easier to keep some things in my head than allow the risk of others seeing them. Shame really.

I am honored to see my name on your menu, thank you Tino. I am not one of those who get their feelings hurt if my name is not on one's diary. Nor do I want to be in competitive with other diaries. I just write to express myself.
I am not hurt of no one reads my entries, altho I am honered it they do read it. My problem is that I am too honest in my diary and sometimes I say more than I should. lol
Oh well, we cant win them all.

Love,
Honey

Well I think you are right in some aspects...I can understand why some ppl wouldn't want their identities known though....I mean that's just how some ppl are because of different things happening in their lives....When I very first started writing in a diary online- even before this one- I never gave my name, but now I have this one and feel that I could be open and honest without being judged so I am very grateful for the friends that I do make through here even when I say things that might be confusing or against me lol....I feel very lucky to have met you through this also because I feel that you are ALWAYS HONEST with me;)

*hugs*

Wow. I'm OK. That's the nicest compliment. And no, I'm not being sarcastic. It is a nice compliment, because for once someone told me what they really think of me and it had nothing to do with what I do for them.

And yes, I'm smiling right now. :)
