Other People's Lives

No, that's not a title of a show on Five, although it quite easily could be. No, I'm referring to the fact that I've been reading a lot of other people's blogs recently, and I'm getting a lot of insight into their lives - perhaps more than I'd foreseen or even feel comfortable with.

Nevertheless, it's itneresting and definitely gives you a lift when you see something you can relate to mentioned, especially when you realise this person has actually elected you to read their diary.

Although I suppose that only works if you came across a private blog at some point. It doesn't work for this one, I'm sure, as this was a journal created entirely so that all and sundry could read it. It's been available to all from the start, so to a certain extent my feelings are closed off and my points are expanded and given a touch of the old media spin. To find my inner thought, you have to first don a pair of Sony-brand hip-waders to work your way through the bullshit - with this other one I've found/been invited to read, it's pretty much all there on the surface.

It's quite intimidating, actually, to see that far into a person's soul.
