I was having a little spontaneous verbal dissertation about something or other at work when a coworker asked “What’s the deal, did you just blog on this or something?” I had one of those face-gone-cold moments, you know, I’m thinking how in the hell my co-workers know about my blog… I still have no idea if it was coincidence or not, my blog isn’t as popular as yours, so I’m hoping yes.

Some time later, a co-worker turned friend and I are talking about the blog when he (ugh, yeah, “he”) asks for the URL. I demur and he says the famous line: “Well, it’s public isn’t it?” blah blah… Within a few days I’m seeing URL traffic that I know is probably from people he has directed, another co-worker who is a notorious gossip… The last part of your post reminds me of my thoughts from this particular time. TOTALLY. I think people do get bored and need other peoples lives to mess with.

But my blog is public so I suppose I just have to be sure I don’t post anything that can get me fired…

Hi, I found the link to your site from Holly at Nothing but Bonfires. Anywhoo. I always feel torn about the same thing. The worst was when my ex-roomie/best friend and her other bitchy friend started reading about my life on my blog. I quit writing for almost a year cuz it pissed me off, but yet I was flattered at the same time. Who knew I was just so damn interesting? lol

Then I got over it, started a new one, and if I want stuff for only friends/fam to read, I use vox.com. You have to be invited to read it. (There it’s just a bunch of wedding crap discussion cuz it’s easier to post it in one place then answering 500 questions about the same thing…..)

Great blog!

LOVE this entry, and LOVE you.

I actually dumped my last blog because my in-laws were reading it. I naively thought they would ignore the crass parts the way my parents do. I’m thinking of writing a book with a whole chapter devoted to who to NOT tell about your personal blog. Or maybe I should write about how to not give a crap abut who reads your personal blog.
Hmmm.

None of my friends read my blog (even though I stupidly once told them eons ago). MY SIL reads it but just in case I can’t reveal too much. GIN makes me cry btw!

This line right here: “They are rather small people who obviously need to get some ass or perhaps enjoy some wine that doesn’t come in a box.” Is my new favorite quote. I’ve thought about these things, especially the day my co-worker asked me about my vajayjay issues at the copy machine, which were recently blogged after a miscarriage. And I was ok with it. Really. It was the pathetic look I got later, that “poor blogger girl” look that really pissed me off. Like we’re all losers. We’re not. Obviously.

I’m kind of unsure on how anonymous I want to be with my site as it is still pretty new. I don’t think I want anyone I know IRL to read it yet but I kind of do. If some people I know read it, they would know it was me in a second. Blah, I’ll figure it out sooner or later.

Sorry for the rambles! I enjoy your site though!

You’re a hero. And if nothing else, I feel like maybe we should be thanking you for sparing us.
