What makes people go to personal webpages? What makes me go to people's webpages. What is it to you whether or not I have a stick up my ass, like to fart in public places, or eat bugs for dinner. How does it make any difference at all when you read it or when I write it?

It's kind of disconcerting when I actually really sit here and think about it.

What makes me read other peoples pages? I'm a peeping tom by nature, I suppose. I've always been pretty nosy -- I like gossip, I like listening to other people's problems; I'm terrible at giving advice, though. I guess that's why I love reading so much. I get the same affect, but I don't have any obligations to anybody to say anything. I don't even have to nod reassuringly or smile or give a sad look. When someone writes something I find comical [even when they're dead serious] I don't have to stifle my laughter.

And I can cry, when someone's writing touches me enough without any "What's wrong?"

What, then, makes me write about my life here? I really don't know what drives me to do it. A lot of the time I end up sticking my foot in my mouth. For example, the bisexuality post. Afterwards, I considered taking it down in fear of people, friends, acquaintances thinking of me differently. But why do I care?

Why do I care at all, really? It's not like it matters anything to anyone else. And it doesn't, does it? Because I don't know half the people who are reading this -- and those that I do know won't give a fuck. It doesn't change who I am, it's just something new to add to who I am.

What is it to me? Why do I care? What is it to you? Why are you here? Haha, I find myself asking those questions every day... and still haven't been able to answer them.

I suppose in the end... We're all human.

3 have spoken

Well, sometimes I get to know the person behind the words and then it actually does matter to me. It's human nature to care and to want to be cared for, I suppose.
I have my site for release, whether anyone reads it or not. Although it does help when it's being read because I can receive feedback on whether my thoughts are psychotic babbling of an idiot or an meaningful thought.
I visit others for the insight they could provide for me. And sometime's i'm just an osy motha'. :D

i'm pretty sure you know this.. but.. i'm your friend and i would never judge you on all that stuff. the bi thing.. i of course don't think of you any differently.. but then i was already aware, too. but.. even if i wasn't.. you'd still be my same old one and only kim.

i read about your life because i love you and i love reading about you.. and since things are so hectic for me right now, we don't always get those chancesto talk... so your blog is like my time to catch up with how you are and what's happening in your life. it's quality time i spend with a friend, even though that friend may or may not know i'm there.
