hallo who are you

i'm tired, angry, and quite upset.

sometime i wonder why people choose to remain anonymous, other than to hide their misdeeds or less-than-perfect social moves under a facade that no one knows.

Some like it because it allows them to be another character they are not, and will never be. Some package this lack of a name as a 'personal space', or 'canvas' where u are free to draw or smudge without being judged or assessed.

i call it bullshit.

my open-book personality means that i'm the total opposite. Not that i don't have my own space, but becos i hate having to mince my words and hide passwords or emails from anyone. If you wanna know anything, just turn to the right page and knock yourself out. besides, space is what you make of it, and more often than not, it's right there in your mind. no one needs to know what u imagined, or what u are thinking, if u keep mum about it.

so the fact that you need to publish your secrets and imagined life, under a superbly inconspicuous nick, shows that you secretly wish to be noticed, as long as it doesn't associate your real identity with the fake ones.

other reasons why i tink people like to be anonymous:
1. so they can talk bad about you without you knowing
2. so that they can twist your quarrels around and make you the psycho-bitch, make you the bad guy, without any protests from you
3. so that they can be this great, cool person that they don't dare to be in normal life
4. just so they have an excuse to be 'alone' and enjoying their own space.
5. so that they can accuse you of robbing their privacy when u chance upon it unintentionally
6. so that they can have multiple fans with their winning-formula personality
7. so that they can do anything under the sun, WITHOUT YOU KNOWING!
8. so they can know everything u're doing, but the reverse is not true

so if you're anonymous and still reading my blog, look away. you're not welcome here.
