instead of cleaning my room I shall blog

I came to the realization while watching Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide (do NOT judge me, nothing else was on tv, and it reminds me of childhood) that a blog is just a VERY public diary.  In said episode of Ned's Declassified Jennifer Mosely can't find her diary, and it turns out some new kid took it to read it.  When she found this new kid with her diary she was immediately furious.  I couldn't help but think about how when we were younger the thoughts we wrote down were private and for nobody else.  It would kill us if our diaries fell into the hands of another.

Now we put our thoughts out on the internet for free and don't worry about it.  Our entire lives are on the internet.  We have facebook, myspace, twitter, blogging sites, dailybooth....there are countless social networking sites.  I have a facebook, myspace(don't ever use it), twitter, dailybooth, and obviously I have this blog.  It's kind of weird to me how something that would have crushed my tiny, little-girl spirits at the age of 7 I have no problem with now.  I would have died if people could read my thoughts whenever they wanted to look at my profile, if anybody could see my pictures, if anybody could so easily find out what I think about politics and God from my political and religious views tabs on facebook.

Privacy used to be regarded as a right and something most people wanted and cherished, but now most of us (especially in my age range) choose to give our privacy away.  Don't get my wrong, I'm not that private a person, but I do probably put more out there than I should.

At least the owls are choosing privacy...maybe he'll have a blog in 11 years too.

Well that was much more serious than I originally intended.   Should I add some silly pics for the lols?  I think I shall.

LOL

Ok...maybe my new owl obsession should stop.

This could be deemed offensive, but come on!

It's funny and you love me ;)
