♥ post number eleventy-one.
I guess that's not really such an occasion, but I think it's kind of a cool number.
Meanwhile, I'm beginning to doubt whether anyone's blogs are actually worth reading anymore. I mean, not that I think this one is [I know, I know: my random angsty mutterings are hardly of interest to anyone other than myself], but I think maybe it's all just a big dumb ego trip. [Thanks for the heads up on that one, Alli.]
It kind of seems like everyone's little mind-windows produce nothing but drama. Oh, and did I mention more drama? And possibly a little more drama.
Perhaps rather than posting our deepest secrets for all the world to see, we should act like mature members of civilized society and just keep things to ourselves.
I mean, of course I realize the point of a blog: it lets you express yourself, get things off your chest, vent a little without forcing anyone in particular to listen. But there's a fine line between gossip and slander, and I've been noticing lately that nearly every blogger [god, I hate that word] I know is crossing the line between privacy and perversion.
When I read that, I realized that I wouldn't want to find out that way. I don't want to read anything about what's going on with me on someone else's blog that I don't already know. I don't want to feel my blood run cold when I realize it's me they're talking about.
Um... can we stop acting like high schoolers, please? Some of you only have another semester to go, and I'm terrified to think about how it's going to be when you get into the real world.
Seriously, grow up.
