Tis the season...
I feel compelled to blog today but I don't want to expose too much of my inner self, personality, workings of my brain etc. so you'll have to settle for cut n' paste... Hehehehe...
But really all the recent talk about 'responsible' blogging has got me thinking - is anonymity such a bad thing? I'm not completely anonymous, but I do refrain from using names and identifiable pix 'cos just thats what I prefer... In this day and age of IP tracking etc its not hard to find out who's who in the blogging scene. I know some people prefer doing it differently and good for them, but as long as I'm not slandering anyone or causing them grief in their livelihoods or personal realm then whether I use my name etc shouldn't really matter, right?
Or does it actually hold any psychological bearing? That maybe I'm actually afraid of my real-life persona and I'm passing off for someone way cooler than I really am. Although, I really am very cool so it must be something else. Maybe its a privacy-craving thingy, seeing that I've never ever had my own room and have always had to share. Hehehe... I like this psycho-analysing thingy, as you can see, I'm just one step away from blaming my mum for why this blog contains no names...
Booby, some help here please! No people, don't get too excited, my breasts don't talk to me but I suspect my resident pharmacist-psychiatrist-philosopher-blogger-babe will have an opinion about this. And since I unlocked the comments tool... :-p
People talk of being original in your blogs, but hey if I like something and I feel the urge to share it in 'my space' :-p then I should very well do it w/o anyone judging me to be unoriginal. Sniff... I do feel offended... I am original, different and special (ok I can already picture you saying yes you are 'special' :-p) - just like everyone else... hehehehe...
Anyway, I know its early but these are good. So in true ciplak fashion, here are some V-day (Valentine, not venereal) quote's (courtesy of my SUIII who is just 4 months away from her D-Day!
in life after life, in age after age forever."

You know i really agree with you about the whole anonymity thing...i find myself wishing quite often that i had bloged anonymously cos, being me, there are a lot of bastards whose caharcter's i want to assasinate online but can't cos unfortunately i am in regular contact with them.
I'm sure you'll agree that one of the main reasons for starting a blog was to have a place to vent & share...cos sometimes we actually want people to know of our suffering & pain...as if that somehow eases it.
Often i am tempted to talk about 'personal matters' (you know) but can't because my identity has been revealed and it might get back.
On the flip side, blogging has been fantastic cos i've made so many friends online and i think that's harder to accomplish when u blog anonymously cos u will be a little too careful about revealing too much.
And like u, i love posting my favourite quotes or lines that i heard from a movie cos it's sorta like our own journal right? Something you wanna come back to and admire. And remember :p
The "doctor" has left the building
Thank you doc!
