Blogging

This blog is the first time I have really kept a record for myself. I have made notes on myspace and facebook, that all my friends and family were able to read. Acquaintances could google my name or email address and there I was.  Is it weird that I am keeping a record of my life for myself, but leaving it open for strangers to read? Is it weirder than keeping a record of my life for friends and family?

I talked to Mr SilverClouds about this last night, and whether I should make family/friends/the world at large aware of this page, and he made the valid point of asking if I want people judging me from my writing. I am undecided, but if I leave my blog alone, anyone who does stumble upon it is at least there by happy accident of the internet. I even asked Mr SilverClouds if he wanted to read it, and he isn't quite sure. Curiouser and curiouser.

Another thing that interests me is the idea of a blogroll. I am publicly declaring my stalker tendencies here. Yes I like the writing style of these people, and appreciate them putting content out about themselves, but essentially, I am just plain nosy. Is that wrong, or is it really just human nature? Maybe this blog is just my reciprocal sharing, so that I feel less guilty about reading someone else's life story.
