Online journals are for (annoying) teenage girls

[TekDragon]

I was going to write this in another thread but I think it deserves a topic of it's own.

Perhaps I am simply seeing it from the wrong direction. Perhaps I am not being in touch with my expressive side. Perhaps I need to be more sensitive and be more inclined to write about my feelings.

Or perhaps i'm right and online journals are a fucking huge phony act meant for the same type of people who, in real life, are called "posers". Perhaps they really ARE simply tools of egoisticism for people to write innecent drivel about their lives and pretend everyone will read it and care.

Wow, you ate a sandwich and went to the mall today. That's great, write it in on your online journal so the whole world can see and spend the next hour debating with themselves philosophically over whether you took the correct cource of action in eating the sandwich before you left. Pardon me while I roll my eyes.

Or maybe you got in a argument with someone today? Do you suck it up and find the correct cource of action (either an apology or a punch to the nose)?

No!

Instead you spend the day thinking how your going to word this on your "command center of phonyness". As soon as you get home you run to your PC and write about the argument and the other person, expecting everyone who reads it to have a huge outcry of sympathy/support. Pardon me while my eyes roll out of my fucking head.

There is only ONE reason to have an online journal. That reason is:

Your a melodramatic drama queen of the female persuasion in the age of 12-16 who's entire focus is yourself and your social life.

If you don't fall into that category and you have an online journal then

PULL THE FUCKING PLUG AND GET OVER YOURSELF!
