I'm supposed to be working on papers right now, but I just had to take a quick break. I haven't hang out in blogland for a while because reading one interesting post always leads to 5 more. And I'm rather opinionated so it's hard to resist sharing my views. Every now and then I go back and read my old posts and people's replies. Sometimes I laugh but other times I think about deleting posts--especially the depressing ones. Haven't done it yet. Even though I'm anonymous, I can't resist but get a little self-conscious. Sometimes, I wonder what people who read my stuff think of me. Isn't it natural to portray the best of ourselves to the world? But then this is my space to express myself however I see fit. And having the cloak of anonymity is reassuring, kinda like Harry Potter's invisibility cloak. Yet, I did set some ground rules for myself--because I believe boundaries are important(think of "good fences make good neighbors")--I will not share information shared in confidence, go into details about work or family or personal relationships out of respect.
I can ramble on forever so I'd better go back to my paper. I'm on a 10 day countdown to the end of the sem =)

All the best with the papers. On the posts, don't delete them, just mark them as drafts, that way folks don't see them, but they are there should you want to reactivate them. Or just permanently keep them that way as accessible only by you.
Yes you have been rather quiet, Good luck on your exams.
I rather like to think that I blog my honest personality definately I keep the ugly thoughts from my blog but I still don't express them otherwise
@Egm,
Thanks!
The drafts idea is good--I hadn't thought of it.
@Kirima,
Thanks.
I think it would take a lot of effort to fake one's personality on a blog.
Hope the EGZAMS werent hard as they usually are .i.e. if U haven't read well!
