I understand people's need to restrict access to their blogs but I don't like it at all. It seems odd that people both want the world to know what's what in their lives and at the same time want only specific people to read it. Personally, I wouldn't write anything on my blog that I wouldn't say in public. It's a public forum. I know that some people ruin it for everyone else but still... I'm just a little upset because I used to read a bunch of people's blogs but they've had to go "private" and if I haven't actually made a personal connection with the author I've lost that blog.
Okay, I know that I'm not making sense but this is a rant. it doesn't have to make sense. It's just supposed to let me say my peace.
And I know I hide behind a nickname but that's how I get around the "having a public blog" issue. and since most people who read this blog now who I am, it doesn't really matter. I just don't want people finding this blog when they search my name. My elementary school friends don't need to know this shit. Nor do my future students (some of those early posts are a little embarrassing).
There are tons of mistakes but I'm gonna leave them in until tomorrow when I can fix it with a clear mind (it's a little late).

I know. :( I'm still pissed off about locking mine, but Blogger makes it really difficult to set the blog so that it's only open to certain people. If you want to send me your blogger e-mail, I'll add you, and will duplicate the LJ posts on the blogger one. :)
It's just that when you've got a crazy stalker psycho on your blog hunting around for any references to you and your family for 7 hours a day and leaving freaky comments, well. . .
i started a blog tonight (as per your suggestion)... but i am not ready to share. it is public but only anonymously because it is personal... but it was cathartic and i wanted to thank you for that.
