Although, at the same time i whine about all that, i’m the one who rampantly censored my life when i started seeing Selina because i didn’t want people to start asking me about it. So, i suppose i censor too, because typically i’d have been writing all about it … but in retrospect i’m partially happy that i didn’t. While i wish i could go back and read all about it, some things are just better kept private; this might be all about my life, but it’s not all of my life.

Word from Selina: no link to her diary. It’s a fair enough decision, since it’s a diary and not a journal or log, but i just don’t really understand putting something online if you don’t want people to read it. Well… i do get it: she doesn’t mind random people reading it, but because a lot of our friends read this page and she doesn’t want them snooping around her diary. So, though i might not really understand it, her page is more personal than this one has ever been, so it’s her call. So, yeah.
I almost have trouble wrapping my mind around how some loggers run afoul of real life friends with their logs. I mean, it’s quite obvious how people you never intended to find your site can find it, so you can never really be truly tell-all and brutal. But, at the same time, do you want to be that mean about someone behind their back on the internet? It feels rather petty to me. I think anyone i know could probably read my page other than family, and i’d back up my opinions to any of them. Where this all gets a little complicated is in the workplace; in a week i’ll be working for the admissions office, so i can’t really have them visit because they might catch some snippet of behaviour that’s obviously contrary to university policy. So, … there are limits, it’s true. However, i still don’t understand why some loggers are so intent on staying anonymous or hiding their sites; a few of them like Brant have a vested interest in not having family or friends ever finding them, but … well … i don’t know. I guess i just don’t feel like a real passive aggressive if there isn’t a slight chance for the people i’m talking about to read my log, however small it might be.

Liquid Web was such a nice reliable hosting service when i first signed up for it, but suddenly i’m find that my HTTP server or my FTP server are going down once a day, invariably. And, right now, both are down (so this won’t post), and Liquid’s own site is also down so i can’t even get their service number to bitch about it. This sucks. I like people to be able to see my webpage…

Even with my cd collection continuously expanding (at a rate better than one a week last year), i never have the right disc at the right time. Matt was just playing Nevermind, and he told me to put something in to follow it up, and i just sat here and stared dumbly at my record collection. Not that i had to defeat Nirvana, or anything, but you just don’t throw on a Madonna album to complete the feeling that you get from Nevermind. I could’ve really gone for Pinkerton, but since i inexplicably don’t own that, i threw in Built To Spill’s 1994 effort There’s Nothing Wrong With Love – because it’s squeaky and sentimental while also possessing some cool guitars and rocking. So, yeah. But this obviously means i need to go shopping.

Well, um, yeah… somehow in my random surfing (from Meg to Tom to Sourground) i managed to hop a link to Nicci’s (winner of sBlog1) new site. Only… it’s been around for a while. I remember being quite distraught when her old domain went down without her posting a link to the new one, so i feel rather intelligent now for having found it without having to ask anyone about it.
