How much should I tell?

I’ve been very swamped this week and haven’t had a whole lot to say, hence, no new posts. However, I have been spending a lot of time reading random blogs (that “next blog” button is dangerous). I find myself occasionally getting very sucked into certain blogs. They are usually the very personal ones. There’s something compelling, yet voyeuristic, about reading these blogs. Some of them are really fascinating.

My blog has been fairly impersonal so far, and I don’t see that changing. I’m comfortable talking about my interests and what I did over the weekend and celebrities I dislike, but not about my innermost thoughts. I suppose that many of these blogs have taken the place of a written journal or diary (although the word diary sounds like it should have one of those locks with the little tiny keys). But they are in a completely public forum. There is something really brave about this. In a way, I admire that kind of honesty, but I also know that I absolutely could not be that open in a public forum.

I’m curious what others think of this.
