I love you? Ditto!

Heh. Well. Gee. I missed a major pile of fan-impacting shit, didn't I? *amused chuckle*.

Okay. So. Apparently it might be entirely possible that some of you might take my private friends-locked posts and publish them and people might hold it against me one day.

Heh. Well, is it really worth the wrath of one's friends? Because if I had a very private post, I'd have a very short list of people to choose from who'd actually violate my trust.

Call me naive - but who'd really wanna see my private posts anyway? I'm nobody. Yeesh. And most people are nobody too. *nods*.

That said, I do value my privacy. But I also don't overestimate my importance. My journal is boring as it is. Like you want to dig deeper into my shit! If it's *really* super-sekrit, usually I just private post it. I'm not saying those that ARE upset about frienditto are up themselves and deluded. Not at all. Overestimating the risk, perhaps, but not deluded.

And really? If anyone wants to know something terribly juicy about me, all they need do is ask. You know how you see those mysterious wonderful people in the books and on tv and the strange people that come in and out of your life, larger than it, more amazing, and it's because they're so full of secrets and you never feel like you've figured them out entirely?

I'm not one of those. I never have been, I never will be. I'm not a woman of mystery and guile, and what you see is what you get. If you want to talk about my sex life, then shit - lemme know. As long as you're not being creepy about it and there's a perfectly good reason for asking, then I'm liable to chat with you about it. Or sexuality, or things I've been through (depression, death, so forth).

Long post short - as far as frienditto is concerned? It's entirely pointless in regards to me and my journal. :) So it doesn't bother me personally. But I can understand other people freaking out.

uhm, if this is about something i said, i just mentioned a private post (and didnt elaborate) when someone said something that made me understand what that post was refering to. someone else explained what it the actual post was.

im sorry :(

*hugs*

Huh? I missed something. I have no idea what you're talking about, sweety. This teaches me for doing the whole 'cryptic' post thing!

[pooxs.livejournal.com]

i figured you were complaining (rightly) about someone telling others what was in a friends locked post?

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Oh - no! No no. There's this thing called "frienditto" where one can archive all posts they have access too - whether it be theirs or not. So they can effectively anonymously spread your shit around. And people are freaking out.

Except I'm not, because I honestly don't feel that anyone would do that to me.

[pooxs.livejournal.com]

oh good. here i was feeling guilty for no good reason. i didnt think youd mind as the people that were there already knew about the thing that you wrote about in the friendslocked post.

ahh, i understand now. how is that different from just copying it into word?! it was always possible, silly people for freaking out. also theyre rather dumb for posting stuff and thinking there isnt a chance someone might spread it

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

I exactly agree with you. It's why I'm not freaking out. It's nothing I'm not at risk of already, and if people were *That* desperate to get to my 'dirty secrets' I couldn't help but be hugely amused because they're not that interesting!! LOL! Certainly nothing to be ashamed of, at any rate!

Gah, for a second I thought this might have to do with me. But then, as a former stage actor (and a tenor no less), I do sometimes get this over-inflated sense of self-importance.

I thought someone was freaking about you not putting them on your list when they put you on yours, and I was hoping you didn't think it was me!

(I've always just presumed your private posts were about Those Idiot Americans, and you didn't want me to see them.) ;-)

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Actually, my private posts are embarrassing "Oh woe is me why doesn't the WORLD UNDERSTAND ME?!" crap that I usually delete and realise is all crap anyway. Or I'm bitching to myself about my sister, none of it which I mean after I've gotten it out of my system. Or they're private philisophic thoughts that are trite and stupid. Really. Nothing exciting!! :)

[rainfletcher.livejournal.com]

Hrm. The world doesn't understand you because you're:

(a) a writer
(b) an artist
(c) a musician
(d) a free thinker
(e) all of the above

...and because the world hates anyone who doesn't sink to its level of mundanity.

Any secrets of the universe you need help with? I may not have them, but I have a singular gift with BS. =)

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's the BS I specialise in, really. I used to despise the world for not understanding me, but now I'm glad it doesn't otherwise it'd be totally boring. :-P
