reading through my blog postings from a few years ago, i miss the vulnerability and humor that i expressed then. now i'm always writing "appropriate" things. blogs about personal stuff are hard to focus. who is reading it? i do want to express myself, but i don't want something i say on a whim that will negatively affect my career. i could limit the readership to the people i invite, but that would feel a bit claustrophobic and cowardly. i've only had 23 visitors in the past month, so it's pretty safe to write whatever. maybe i should put a disclaimer on the blog.
my head is so full of academic seriousness, i'm incapable of saying or doing anything creative. :-p
