Being Impersonal and Private

Supposedly my blogs aren’t personal enough, which I hadn’t realized as much as before. I always have hated writing assignments given by teachers that involved telling a personal story from my past, and so I tend to avoid doing them when I don’t have to. I’m a pretty logical and analytical person, because I feel that a lot of the time emotions just end up in the way a lot of the time. So what I had decided to do for these blogs was to find random subjects and write about them. I would rather do that then try to dramatize my life to make the blogs interesting, or make myself seem pathetic. I apologize for the dryness and the harshness in my blogs, but I can think like that a lot. Even though nobody reads these but occasionally Tori and Katie, and then Mr.Wilcox when he grades them, I still feel bad. However unlike Facebook and Myspace, I would rather keep my personal issues and problems private. It’s not to be rude, but a lot of people already interfere with my family and I’s daily life enough that I don’t need others doing so as well. Although, then again, in this day and age the popularly accepted normal IS to interfere in everyone’s personal life, via media connections. Yet, I don’t understand why people should because they usually seem to do more harming than helping.

I remember when I was little I used to think that I was being spied on by some other people that would then inform my parents and others about what I was doing. I used to get a little freaked out by it because I felt like my privacy was being violated. Which is what is called normal today. Yet, if we call that normal, then how do we classify stalking because they are both so similar and it’s hard to differentiate. Both involve knowing a lot about someone, but they use slightly different ways to figure out the knowledge, I guess? I don’t like it. Especially because we are so technologically savvy, but I wonder if there’s a limit to how technological we can be before we get set all the way back to the beginning.
