A Blogger's Dilemna
I think 
one of the biggest problems a blogger faces is that when using your blog as a venue to air your personal opinions, you tend to self-censor the entries first. Mainly because there's a high chance that you want to bitch about someone who could very well read about it.
Say, you want to tell a friend she could be the covergirl for Chunky Monkey but you're afraid to do so. You could vent your frustrations in your blog but if your friend reads it and is smarter than the average bear she'd probably figure out. Either that or your other bagua friends would.
So as a result you either end up making very vague comments or not saying anything at all.
Sure, you could start a blog where no one knows you're the author and then you could bitch to your heart's content, but then who would read it? You could fill it with salacious details, maybe, or have terms like Paris Hilton and sex, boobs, jugs, bjs etc etc scattered all over so that people would stumble on your site by accident. Not a very desirable audience, but what's a blogger to do?
I guess the point is I'm just trying to explain why my blog is boring :) I'm way bitchier than this as Nat can attest to, but at the same time I don't really want certain people to know certain things. Maybe it's time to develop some sort of code that only select people know...
