A Desired audience
March 1, 2007
Before I got this wordpress space/blog/journal call it whatever you like. I had my xanga, I could say, during those times, I felt myself writing for a audience, so that they would appreciate me, so that they would think of my worthy. Before, I wrote in hopes people would comment and give me eprops, so that I would be able to show others HOW popular I am. I would hestitate to write a new entry in hopes that people would comment on my current entry so I would “have a comment”
Now, I just write for those who take the time to visit my wordpress. for those worthy, or not. For those who care about what I think, for those who have something to say.
“I write because I feel like it. I write what I want, when I want to, how I want to, why I like to”
Although as much freedom I allow myself to, I get tangled up in a web: as much as I do not care about what other think: I actually do. if you read my stuff from my xanga and things from my wordpress you would realize that stuff from my xanga are much ‘personal’ and the language I use is much informal and friendly. While the stuff on my wordpress is more formal and seemingly cold and I do not have the same type of ‘bondage’ (as I call it).
Sigh~

Oh I’m the SAME way. I always work extremely hard on my entries to make them sound as “sophisticated” and “intelligent” as possible.. as opposed to just saying whatever the heck it is on my mind. It’s a tough thing to do, especially when we sorta want to control how ppl feel about our writing. This is why I have a private journal for only myself, and I just ramble there..

Stephy~ I agree too… thats why me and Jeff decided that Xanaga is for joking, fun and talk about silly stuff that happened in our daily life… whereas another blog (in my case, blogspot) is about my personal thoughts and feelings… a.k.a diary… =P
