Worth considering

Naked

it has come to my attention that more strangers have been stopping by my blog. at first i thought this was cool. upon further reflection, it's a little creepy. well, let's revise that: i'm not too worried about strangers coming by. everything i've written was meant to be fit for public consumption, and i think i've had a decent sense all along of the Weight of Internet.

no, what really freaks me out is the thought of my professors and (eventually) colleagues venturing into these half-thoughts. and i have reason to suspect that this may actually be happening. the weight of this was not something i had really accounted for back in my early blogging days. (they'll see i don't capitalize!)

so i've been a lot shyer, lately. i still like blogging. i like airing my half-thoughts a bit, and sharing and discussing things with you, my friends. but i feel more exposed and conflicted, due to this new secondary audience. it is time some things be removed from the public eye. anyway, just thought i'd let you know. we'll be feeling things out as we go.
