privacy

so...commonplace entry time...and, i have absolutely no clue what i want to write about...i'm still having trouble with my this i believe, cause i don't know how to use garage band or any of that good stuffs...
anyways, i was wondering how many people like this blog thing...cause i think it's a cool idea, but it's so open to the public. and, mr. watson explained how we can just publish certain entries as a draft, but it still feels so public and vulnerable...
even though it's a very cool idea, i enjoy writing a lot more than typing, and to do this blog thing, you always have to be at a computer. and, unless you have a laptop--which i don't, may i add--you can't curl up in a warm blanket and write in your commonplace book while lying on your stomach, you know what i'm saying?
i guess i just feel that our commonplace should be more private, and tangible...
privacy is a big thing in my life, and i know that someone could easily peek in my commonplace book if it were a notebook, but people can also hack onto blog sites...and you wouldn't be able to tell if it was a different person as easily, because for a blog, you type. and, everyone has the same handwriting when they type, cause it's made for you already.
where as if we had commonplace notebooks, you would be able to tell if someone wrote in another peron's commonplace notebook because the handwriting would be different...
i like that the blog idea is different, and something new, but there's a reason why people still use notebooks for journals after many years, and it's because they're more private

I totatlly agree with you....a journal or notebook is so muh more cozier and private. You can decorate it and make it your own. I guess for me with this whole blog thing, i just feel restricted because there is so much more I have to learn about it.

Heyy, I am a student from Korea International Schoo. I am visiting your blog for the first time, and I think it is such a cute lovely place to visit. Well, since our class started using blog, I also had to stick in fornt of my computer in order "type" things in. I also love to "write" things down on a private notebook, so I suggest you to write your words in your own diary and keep something too private in there(you dont have to expose everything about yourself. it's purely your choice). You can just post writings that you want to share with your friedns and the rest of the world! That way you can keep your privacy with the coziness inside your blanket and be a blogger at the same time :)
