Look what became of my procrastinating...

I'm supposed to be studying right now. But that's seems to be my life.

That's all I say to myself when I'm doing anything other than studying. This little voice appears in my mind, incessantly repeating obnoxious (but warranted) messages such as: "You should be studying", "You're going to regret this, because you should be studying", "You're falling behind in your studying", and "study. Study. STUDY".

However, if I had listened to that little voice, I wouldn't have stumbled across the prompt that stated, "Create a blog!". Alas! Here I am! Welcomed to the world of blogging with open...keyboards?? I don't know, I'm still trying to figure out what the heck I'm supposed to write on here.

I tried to keep journals/diaries when I was younger. But those attempts were always abandoned. That's what happens when you have siblings, especailly when your diary filled with your most treasured secrets contains a lock made of 3 cent metal (aka. easily pried open). Or the book can be lost - I've done that too. I guess that it's more difficult to lose your computer...

I then return to the question that keeps popping up in my mind - how detailed should/can my posts be? Of course there will be no scandalousness or 'I love yous', but how much is too much safety wise?

Should I be worried about giving out my name?

I've always been a 'safe' internet user, but we all know that there's the creepy little pervs who wreck it for everyone. There's always privitizing the blogs, but I really don't want to do that. Not many people I know have blogs, so what's the point of writing when nobody reads it?

I'm on the fence.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Rule #1: Save your blog intermittantly. Don't navigate away from pages or else you will lose your very first (awesome) publication.

(I guess I'm not so tech savvy after all.)
