Jun. 6th, 2006 05:11 pmJust reading a post where people discuss using LJ's "Private" security level.
For some reason, I can't do it. I think I've posted something privately once, nearly five years ago, and that was random snarky cryptic BS, not anything personal.
If I'm posting on LJ, it's because I want the attention. It would be so utterly unsatisfying to post something and know that no one else was going to read it (well, unless they happened to hack my journal or I accidently posted it publically or something).
This isn't to say I never write anything that isn't for public, or even heavily filtered semi-public, consumption. I just do so in a notebook instead of online.
Of course, some people use it for to-do lists or grocery lists or something. That I can understand a little better, though I still don't use it that way.
No particular reason for posting this. Just a personal oddity I noticed.
