True, it is a bit odd. I still have a paper journal (though not with lock and key, I trust those around me!) where the truly private things go. But I have less trouble being open to people who don't know me in RL than to those who do, so I don't have many qualms about LJ.

I never thought to compare LJ to reality shows, although there are certainly parallels. But reality shows these days are fake all over, whereas I think LJ, or at least the portion of it I deal with, is much more real.

I see what you mean, though. I would like to continue to see your thoughts here (and besides, here is where they'll stay, while on boards they'll end up in archives and eventually get lost) but it's your decision. And I can still see you on Voy anyhow! :-)
