So Who Cares?

Back in January, I started this blog. One of the reasons I started it in the first place was because I had been assigned to write an article for a magazine - christened [in]visible, that I'm helping to start up at Scripps - about the distinctions between journaling and blogging. I had thought they were two manifestations of the same thing, but nevertheless I started up a blog for fun.

I was wrong.

I didn't realize how public blogs were. I knew anybody could see them, yes, but who would take the time to track down "spoony driftwood"? Does anyone really care what I'm thinking about? Type in "spoony" into your Google browser and I assure you, you'll get through the definition of spoony, spoony bards, and spoony's glass pipes (which you should actually check out - click http://www.spoonysglasspipes.com/ oh goodness the free advertisement) before you've even dented the amoutn of links it'll take you to get to spoony driftwood. I'm not really worried about who sees what I'm writing - that's the point, and why I still keep a journal to record more private thoughts - I simply didn't realize who cares. I have my own obscure little corner of the internet, and I'm quite content here, but there are some of you who have followed me here. And there are more of you than I had expected. Admittedly, there are more of you than expected, but still. Thanks.
