Not too long ago, a certain Rychus Cortina complained that I struck him as "dense, yet transparent". When I asked the jerk what exactly he meant by that, he didn't explain. Oh well, I thought, it only goes to show that he was perhaps projecting one side of himself onto me. I didn't know it, but I was horribly mistaken.
After reading my Livejournal account, so brimming with angsty revelations about myself, I realized that perhaps the jerk was right all along. If someone was looking for blackmail material to use against me, all he had to do was read it. Shite. Therefore, I shall be abandoning my LJ - but not for good, though; I still enjoy reading and commenting on some other blogs there. Blogger's where I'm at these days.
However, I take consolation in the fact that when it comes to that kind of blogging- the kind that bares juicy life tidbits for all to see - I'm not alone. In fact, a quick glance at some other blogs I read shows that some people are just dying to be read, even if that means they themselves have to betray the more "interesting" aspects of themselves.
If you have the time, try this little experiment: read a blog belonging to a friend - someone from the opposite sex would be more preferrable - then remember the entry that manages to leave a certain kind of aftertaste (on as to what kind, I'll leave that to you). Bring up what you've read the next time you're in a conversation with aforementioned friend, and try to see if that somehow sets off an alarm in her (a suspicious glance, a wish to change the subject, a trembling voice, etc., etc., etc....). Reaction depends on the nature of the post.
Why should they be suspicious of you, though? If they didn't like being read so much, then they shouldn't blog in the first place. Oh, and by the way, Rychus has a blog somewhere too.
Thank you, Rychus. You're still a jerk to me, but you're the kind I end up kissing sometime in the near future. I love you for what you did. Look at me now! I'm a new man.
After all, with a name like "Rychus", who can go wrong?
