1) You may regard this as some sort of journal. I intend to look back at assorted past life experiences, in the hopes of learning a little bit more about what kind of person I really am. Distant or recent, big or small, serious or silly, any promising memory I happen to recall will end up as potential subject matter.
2A) For as long as I can remember, people have been telling me that I shouldn't let other peoples' opinions of me affect me. I only partially agree. I don't believe the judgmental statements I hear, but I do like to consider the reasoning behind them. If you read my posts and leave comments, maybe I'll be able to begin to understand perspectives of others--that is, why people view me the way that they do.
2B) If you and I are already close friends, we should be able to share our feelings with one another. But we're all busy on occasion, caught up in our own problems. During those periods, we don't really want to listen to any person whine and complain at length--not even if we like and respect that person. If ranting in my blog posts keeps me from singling out someone I care about and forcing him/her to lend me advice, perhaps I can avoid being a burden on that person. Ideally, my close friends can instead help me as much as they'd like, at their own pace. by commenting on my posts at their leisure.
My first few posts will probably provide more details on my sources of inspiration for creating this blog, so stay tuned if you'd like. Thank you, dear reader, for taking a break from all the porn and Flash gaming the Internet has to offer to see if I'm interesting at all.
