I made the mistake of mentioning that I have a blog to a couple of people. I should have been less specific perhaps saying 'I like to write.' Naturally some general questions were asked about the blog; what it is about, the blogs location etc. In fear, I immediately removed some posts and began writing in Word. I wanted to use this as a medium to talk about my interests, the things going on in my life and other miscellaneous musings. I also thought it would be a good opportunity to practice my writing. I like writing, at least at did in law school although I was never pleased with my work. The blog appeals to me as a simple and (potentially) aesthetically pleasing way to write however, I have to reconcile the desire to use the blog with my desire to preserve my privacy. In other words, I want to use this rather public way of sharing information as privately as possible.
So, I suppose I will see how it goes. I guess what I post will depend on what exactly it is I am writing about. The handy stat counter should be useful. I suppose it's ironic, and um, perhaps not-so-smart that I would use something like this to write about my thoughts when I often find it difficult to discuss the same things with people, but that is a topic for another post and really concerns the concept of trust and friendship rather than that of privacy.
