Jossi is so right- nothing is truly private if it's on the internet. More so even if it is on a blog. So you can't really write anything about what you are truly feeling if it is discontent or anger because someone could find it and it could come back to bite you. You only have to write happy little stories, or life-changing lessons, or something along those lines (my oh my isn't it a good thing I still have a journal! :) )
I haven't really had any life changing lessons lately. I've realized a few things. I've realized that first of all I'm going to be basically all alone on my 18th birthday! Dad will be driving a truck, Kim will be in Basic Training and Mom and maybe Pam will be up helping out Steph with her baby (sheesh what timing Steph :) ) So- there one of the biggest birthdays ever and I'll be at home...alone...well actually it's on a Sunday so I'll go to church and then be all alone....
I also realized that I have more courage than I thought I did and that it is indeed possible to prevent a conversation from becoming awkward- all you REALLY need to do is just keep chattering about random things. Then no one has any time to think about what you're saying and it just doesn't get awkward (and as we all know I'm the queen of mindless chatter)
Also, something being awkward is just your fault. Awkwardness is mind over matter- if you don't let it get awkward then it won't be awkward. It's all about the attitude.
Oh, and I have a wedding this week! Good days!

You can leave anything you want to on the internet you just have to be willing to deal with the reprecussions...so if something truly pisses you off and you feel it is worthwhile to let people know by all means write about it - who knows it could effect change. Like you said though blogs are no substitutes for journals (nor should they be - the whole point being to share things from your life with others...) If you don't feel you have time for a journal find an online journal site (it's secured by password) or make it so your blog is only available to those you invite and then invite nobody. Sorry about your birthday. Look at it this way - if you're willing to buy the ticket you can spend it with anybody you want to! ;)
What am I chopped liver? I'll be home on your birthday.
And I'm glad someone else has finally released the whole awkwardness thing... I've been saying that for years
Don't worry Bonnie; we'll have something SPECIAL planned for you! ;) something NICE!
Hey, I'm gonna take you up on that math thing!!! ;)
