probably a bad idea

So today, Sarah, an intern from Australia who is super awesome, showed some of the other interns this really awesome hole-in-the-wall vegetarian Indian food place. It was super.

And now, for something I've been thinking about for awhile:

I once tried to make a current events-related blog. It was part of my internship last summer. I couldn't build up the momentum to keep it going.

I enjoy maintaining this sort of blog. it's fun, and I get to joke around a little with it. This blog also teaches me to self-edit. I debated the idea of having this be anonymous and not listing the URL on my Facebook account. That way, I could write whatever the hell I want. I had/have a blog that I started during my freshman year of high school. Every now and then, I like to read through it, to see how I've changed. I'm pretty sure that only some of my high school friends even know about it. This was especially helpful last year, when I got to write about starting college and doing all sorts of fun stuff for the first time. It was also refreshing, not having to censor myself.

This meant that I wrote about whatever I wanted. Which meant that I wasn't comfortable sharing the blog with anybody. I mean, it's not like I whore this blog out or anything--I figure that if people are interested in my life or are sufficiently bored, they'll read it. I like knowing that my friends/acquaintances/random strangers read this. It's oddly comforting. It also keeps me somewhat in line. Not that I should be posting secrets/really personal things on line anyways.

Every now and then though, I miss it. I really do. But I guess those sorts of things should go in a diary that I hide under my bed, or the general equivalent.

Yeah.
