Trendy

So I got this blog thing. Some people already had them. I read Emily Wernet's for the funny quotes. I knew Nikki had one but never really looked at it. Then I decided that it was better for me to talk to a text box than a person. I have problems and won't leave them for people to pick up.

But that was never really the intention, was it? I wanted an audience. I got one and started talking. I won't even put the real problems on here because I don't want to vent to my friends. How ironic is that?

But the people in my audience, well, they got blogs if they didn't already have them. And we started keeping tabs on each other. We have at last reached the point of TMI. We learned too much. Found the insecurities we didn't realize people had. Found a crack in a friendship. And then we read and learned and people got involved who probably should have stayed out of it. I was one of those people. And when we got involved we managed to lay into that crack with crowbars. We were trying to help and only helped them blow it way out of line.

I am, for once, thinking that I should have retained my old prejudice against blogs and never started one up. I made it trendy and everything fell apart.

We have opened too much, but I think that some of this "TMI" is actually helpful in a way. I mean, it kind lets you get in the know and all that. *shrug*

Shall I quote the blog post or comment or whatever it was where you complained that people only comment when they think you're going to kill yourself?
