under lock and key

This may come as a shock to those who actually know me IRL (since I am so blunt), but I think I tend to be quite guarded. I am private by nature. I don't like people knowing my personal private business. In looking back at my blog, I notice that I tend not to put the truly personal stuff out there. When there are big gaps between posts, it is usually because I am going through something and I just don't want to talk about it. I usually don't bring my problems to other people, I sit back and wait for and hope that somebody will notice. Usually they don't, because I am quite sure that everyone has their own stuff to deal with and can't be bothered worrying about mine! Other times I hold back my thoughts and opinions too long and then it all comes out like verbal diarrhea, which can be more hurtful than it is productive. As a result people don't always know the real me. I guard myself too closely. I need to open up more.

A while back I challenged my friend to start a blog. She responded by using her myspace blog. Touche. I can't respond to it because I don't have a myspace page. Because that would involve having my privacy invaded. Oh no! Well, I think I'll venture over that and see what I can do. But I still think she should have to start a blogger blog in return!
