I just watched Mean Girls tonight. And as for work people finding the diary... That must feel horrible. I'm actually thinking about locking mine up or doing some serious editing, because my mother has recently discovered the internet and started asking about "online diary things." It's just really not worth all the drama. If it were anyone else... Fuck them and feed them fish heads, I say. They know better.

Witty, I swear, I wish I could write like you. This entry is pretty much exactly the way I feel about my own diary. No one I know reads it - mostly because a) I vent about them here since I can't really talk to them about most things, and b) we are all so involved in each other's lives I wanted something that was just mine. I always worry that my co-workers might discover it, and I would get fired for all the shit I write about one co-worker in particular. It doesn't stop me from writing it, though.

Hey, if they don't like what they are reading guess what? They can STOP READING. End of discussion. You have every right to write whatever you want to. It's not like you're posting names and addresses and phone number for Pete's sake. And don't you dare compare yourself to your mother; what you are doing isn't the same. Now, if you were actually saying these things directly to these people for the sole purpose of hurting them? That would be different. You were one of the first people to list me as a fave; don't you dare stop writing! *hugs*

Hey, it's yours and you can write what you want to. And what they said...

Hey! I only just started reading you and REALLY like what you write. I know people generally dont tell a story to make THEMSELVES look bad, but I cant find anything that you've written about someone else that doesnt seem heartily deserved. Lets face it, its not like you put a banner up in the office - if someone read what you wrote its because THEY WENT LOOKING. Your conscience can be clear. Keep writing (and I'll keep reading!). x

Don't you dare stop writing! Pleez, oh pleez, pleez! Rain on them, if they went snooping and found you.

Nosy asshats. I agree...they can piss off. Most of my friends do know about my diary, but no one at work does. Two people at my old job did, but that's only because (a) they were friends and (b) I shared an office with them. Plus, they weren't people I would bitch about. But yeah. This is your special place, and I really liked your analogy about snooping through other people's stuff when they're not home. PS-Snarking is sometimes a good thing. Not everyone is blessed with the gift of sarcasm, and if you are blessed, you are obligated to share the love. ;)

There are things that need to be said regardless of how people will be made to feel. You have a wonderful gift for writing and for sharing you life, thank you.

Enjoy owning this because its a nice diary. We want legacies, but honestly...we can't expect to have them, and when all is said and done you have to write what you want to write, because no one can really make a living writing about something they feel no passion for. I am rambling, but this is a good diary.

You write the songs that make the whole world sing... ok maybe not but you write the stuff that makes us laugh. Not at people but with you as you face your daily grind. None of my friends know I write a journal (not that mine's really personal)- if there is a post that I particularily like I might bulk email it to them but otherwise it's for me and these wonderous new people I read/comment with, like you my dear!

I kinda understand what you mean about being "outed" so to speak. When that article came out in the paper last year with my url right on the front page, I nearly did something I haven't done since I was 2. I've noticed with diaries they tend to only tell once person's side of things, usually vented out of anger or frustration and may not always tell the whole story. It's easy to be offended by something that may not be the whole story or ever have been meant for that person's eyes. ((hugs)). I hope they understand you need your personal space and back off.

MY STUDENTS found my diary and read over 400 pages in one day. I had written so much. Ever since it has been locked and alas I lost real readers (not the students). Don't ever stop being you, you help others by being truthful and wonderful.

I reccently went through the same feeling of someone reading my journal from my real life -- it's what prompted me to move it away from diaryland in the first place. It can be hard, and you can feel violated, and angry at the same time. Someone finding my journal had the mis-fortune of hurting someone I love .. and you're right -- they only show one side of the story. I tried to explain that .. but I think you put it best. I wish you luck ..
P.S. You were way cute in that picture. :)
