The Bloggers With The Most To Say
What WON'T you blog about?
My blog is very personal. I blog about everything, except the boring stuff. You can read my sexual exploits, my obsessive drinking habits, when I quit my job, etc etc.
I was never good at keeping secrets, and my blog's no different. I'm a forward person - and so is TWENTY. SOMETHING.
Every blog is different. Each has is specific niche - its own little corner in the world. Yet, how far does your personal blog go? When is personal too personal?
Thus, I present my question of the day... (*cue drum roll*)

I always get yelled at because I talk about my personal escapades on my blog. Last week I blogged about my roommate and the drama we were dealing with. Now it's over but after I posted it on my Facebook everyone went nuts. I really don't care but sometimes I have to remember that I don't want to ruin a relationship because of my blog. It's really silly. In real life I say what's on my mind so what's the difference?

i guess the difference is it's in print and it can make people feel attacked and violated. they don't have a voice when it's written in your POV :)

That's also true. I try to be objective as possible and give the whole situation but I can see how someone would feel that way.

Hmm, I won't blog about very personal stuff. Like, hey I have a new girlfriend, I just won this and that, I have an argument with... - at least not directly. :)

I never get into politics on my blog. You'll never read about my opinion of the presidents. You wont read my views on gay marriage. You'll never see anything about abortion or war. No immigration or healthcare. I have very strong opinions of all these things, but I don't want my blog to become a debate or a war zone. I'm not afraid to say what I think, but I refuse to post anything about it. My blog is meant to be a place where I can speak my mind without stirring up a riot. I don't like 'attacking' individuals or groups of people, especially not on my blog.
And now, I will self-promote :] My LaLa Land

I work with special needs kids, so I never write about work. Hafta respect confidentiality and I don't even want to flirt with the lines.
I love Jesus, but I don't think I ever write explicitly about my faith.
Sex. I'm waiting until I'm married, so I doubt I'm highly qualified to write about sex. But I may start writing about why I made the decision I did. Maybe. I'm not certain anyone would really care though.

I would definitely care to hear about your decision! Stories behind life-shaping decisions are always a joy to read.
And I used to work with developmentally disabled adults, so I NEVER talked about work. That kind of goes back to if it doesn't directly affect me, it stays off my blog.

well, i don't think theres anything i won't blog about if i want to. i haven't really been in the mood to update for a while, so i'll just read other people's blogs. so i won't blog about anythign when i don't feel like it. otherwise, if i feel like it, i do. my blog isn't something anyone reads (NOT a nudge to go read, since i haven't updated lately) so i'm not worried about people getting offended. and even if they do, that's my outlet for my thoughts and reactions, why would i make what i write about what you want? then again, i'm the same way in real life. i'll tell you anything, unless i don't feel like it. then again, i respect people enough not to name names if it would caues an issue for someone else, but i may still write my feelings or reactions.

I'm still sorting out this answer, but I think it's only going to involve work specifics, and specific names. Other than that, it's fair game!

I'm still figuring out my boundaries... I mean, I limit myself to MY perspective on a story, and if that story is unflattering for anyone but me I either change all of the pertinent details or keep it to myself.
I am in the Alcoholics Anonymous program, which I'm not technically supposed to talk about. But the thing is, this is my life, and this is what's important to me. I have never ever referenced any other person in the Program, lest they be found out. It's a sticky situation that I'm still making boundaries for, but I believe that I have the right to talk about my experience in recovery. In fact, I think my story could potentially be helpful for other people in recovery, especially young people looking for help. But I digress.
Also, both my parents and my boyfriends parents read my blog, so every time I want to post about my sex life, I pause and use a metaphor. Because my mom just doesn't need to know.
