I've been thinking about the eventuality of not writing on Joeuser. Now, I'm not saying I'm planning on this happening anytime in the near future, but recent events made me consider this.

Firstly, where the hell did everyone go? If you check to my blog list to the left, and look at who's not posting lately, it seems as if everyone is taking a break. Which may be the kiss of death. The pros to this, though, is that I'm actually getting an opportunity to read other people's stuff. I've checked out a lot of regulars stuff before, but had a list of people who I'd check out on a regular basis. Now that they're not writing, I've got more free time to go and explore. I have to admit feeling a bit of shame in not noticing some of the writers here earlier... but it's been great checking them out all the same. The cons are that I actually am missing people. I hope all is well for them, and realize how much I looked forward to hearing about their lives. Dig?

Secondly, I realize how much of a girly-girl I've become. Basically all I've written about lately, is my crush at work. He's a spectacular friend, but I think that I'd be pretty damned embarrassed to let him read some of this stuff.... after googling my name and last initial, which, incidentally is also how I sign papers at work, it turns out I'm not as discreet as I once thought I was here. I know I haven't talked shite about anyone in particular, but I'd hate to be confronted about this blog. It's my private journal, even though it's posted online. I know it doesn't make any sense, but I thought I'd be pretty safe on an American site. Maybe I'm being a bit paranoid but lately, I can't help but notice how honest I am about my feelings. Not a bad thing, but also leaves me open for confrontation. And I don't do that well at all.

Thirdly, all good things come to an end. So they say.

nice timing Nic

I noticed as well - the dynamics of this place will always be changing, and i too have thought about the eventuallity of not writing here.... in fact, i have been pretty damn close lately... i have been suffering the 'who gives a damn' what i think syndrome, and i have almost become a perfectionist as well when it comes to my writing... there are just so many people I respect at this site, I don't want to subject them to crap!

oh well... I guess we will all get over that, but it's good to hear from you at least

after all the serious stuff (yes, include the dramas too), it's nice to get an insight on light "girly-girl " topics like crushes. Ane before you glow red, remember the beauty of blogging is in your anonymity, and unless you're being stalked, people just like to hear what you have to say and take your thoughts on their own merit. Just pour your heart out and be sincere. Oh, yes, don't leave.

Stay or go is up to you, but a look at your reasons all the same. Three is just silly, things will end in their own time and don't need to be rushed. Two you can write about other stuff, I know I should do more of that myself. And you could always change your name, hence increading the anonymity of your blog. Or accept that your writing what your writing. One well, people come and people go, is just the way of life. And it's good that your finding other peoples stuff to read, there are lots of people out there. And the people your missing, well maybe you can scare them up, find an email address, comment on outdated articles, or something.
In any case, take care and read you later
