Dear LJ...

Jesus is shmoozing
Hi LJ. It's me, Phuong. It's been awhile since you and I have had any deep, meaningful conversations, and I'm really sorry about that. It's wrong of me to just come to you for posting polls and photos/posts of my new bento obsession. And for reading my friends page for daily updates. But baby, I swear, I'll try to be better about...

What? Me, writing in another blog? No, LJ, sweetie, no, you're being crazy. Don't be so jealous. I...

Well, okay, I'm not gonna lie. Yes, I have been secretly blogging somewhere else. No, I'm not gonna give you a name. Okay, to tell you the truth, I just wanted some space elsewhere to vent instead of having to lock everything down with you. I swear, that other blog? My relationship with that blog is not gonna change my love for you, LiveJournal.

Did I say "relationship with that blog?" It's more like friendship, really. We're just friends! You know how you have things you only talk about with certain kinds of friends? I can talk to you about a lot of things, LJ, but there are some things that I think you just wouldn't understand. And I needed a honeymoon period with a new blog for awhile, just to get my old creative angst back again. You remember how my blog entries used to be in terms of quality. It's complicated.

LJ, I know you've got every right in the world to be mad, and it's not because I've been blogging somewhere else, but because I've been keeping it a secret from you. I'm sorry that I wasn't upfront with you. Can we still be friends? I'll share one of my entries from the other blog if that'll make you feel better.

Just know that you'll always be my #1 blog, LJ. The other blog doesn't have polls, voice posts, email post options, and communities like you do. And, baby, we've got history longer than any boyfriend I've ever had. I think that oughta say something about my staying power with you, LJ.

Love,
Phuong

P.S. I'm not gonna post a link to the other blog, but should any of you readers here happen to find it, please don't let me know, okay? I can write better there when I don't feel like there's an audience.

I know exactly how you feel. Sometimes (granted, I don't write often) I feel a bit censored in what I write because I know who is reading it...and well, you don't want others to pass judgment. Good luck with your other lover, I hope he's satisfying. :)

The other blog is just a friend. >:( LJ, don't listen to Lizette... I don't do things with that blog that I do with you.

In all seriousness, yeah, it's nice to have a space where I don't know who my audience is. I know some people like Andrea who prefer knowing exactly who their readers are, but I prefer blissful ignorance every now and again.
