It seems that very often when I sit down to write a blog entry I write a really long, open, honest one...then I decide I should post it in my private journal instead.

Just did that actually. I really enjoyed writing it, and perhaps in a few months or years I'll enjoy reading it again. I didn't post it not because it was particularly personal, just because it was so long, so self-involved.

I mean blogs are supposed to be self-involved aren't they? Or at least I would assume that it's okay to be self-involved in your own blog. Yet lately every time I write one I feel like I'm being arrogant or bragging. Like I'm saying "Look at me! Look how great I am!" Or alternatively like I'm just asking for attention in general. "Help me with my problems." "Feel sorry for me."

Blah, just seems a bit unseemly.
