I am still trying to get comfortable with this whole blogging thing. Like I said before I have never really done any thing except for posting my Pathways playlists from my program on WEVL (Shameless self promotion, listen and become a member). I have also never been really very consistent with journaling. Even in high school when I asked for and received a diary with lock and key, I would start writing in it, then just forget it or neglect to. This still did not keep my younger brother from breaking in to it and trying to find something juicy. Alas, I did not lead a juicy life at fifteen so I am positive he felt that was a worthless endeavor.
Do teenagers even have actual diaries/journals anymore? I guess that is all done online now with Livejournal, Myspace, Facebook, etc. etc.. And I am sure that is fine but people need to be careful what they blog/journal about online. You never know who will see it, future employers, teachers,crazy ex's, your parents.
And yes, I have checked out both my daughter's various pages. I did not really expect to find anything I would not want to see and they knew because I told them.I only joined Facebook really so I could see Rachel's(my oldest) pictures while she was in school in Germany last summer. My younger daughter, Ariel is a more private person. Of course, since she is so private, she would never give out personal information online. Overall I trust both my daughters and I believe they are pretty darn intelligent. Sometimes I would say they have more common sense than their mother.
So this is the morning blog, one more today and I will have my five in.
Have a good day!

I'm sure you will get used to blogging. Everything must try something new out and give it a chance. I can say that I'm a bit of a private person because I don't really share a whole of about myself in a conversation or something of the like.
I understand how you feel. I have no clue in the beginning of how to do these blogs and what to write about. But after a couple of days in class I am actually starting to get this. Plus with you in my group for the semester we can help each other out, so neither you or me can get behind.
I didn't really know what to do about the blogging either. I don't do MySpace, Facebook, or anything else like that. It just isn't my thing. It's hard to be open and type what you think and feel when anyone out there can read it. As time goes on we'll get better at it though.
Haha, diaries. I remember having a few when I was a kid. They didn't last long. As far as I know nobody has diaries/journals anymore. It's just chatting ang blogging now :).
I know EXACTLY what you mean about the whole journaling thing. I have never been able to keep journal/diary or a planner; it’s terrible! I’m glad I’m not the only one. Also, I have a little brother too and he would try to read my diary with the little key. =) And I agree that it is really important to keep your personal information to yourself.
