my online life documents my real-world life quite closely, and for the past few months, a big part of it has been covered by my blog. of late, though, i've been deleting a significant (but not exactly large) number of posts, on the sole grounds that they contained stuff that is too personal to out online.
i hate deleting stuff (yeah, gmail was definitely designed for me), and so that got me thinking. as of an hour ago, i think i've arrived at a solution:
i need to keep a personal diary.
anyway, i'm still trying to decide whether to keep it online (i.e. a password protected blog), or maintain it like a more traditional book.
hopefully, it won't be too long before i write my first diary entry in 3 years.

do you still know how to use pen and paper?
I think you should write all those 'personal' stories and articles with the names changed and publish them..
yeah, i know, and i thought of both. wonder which one will win. on one hand, i need to ensure i don't forget how to write, on the other hand i have to make sure i carry my diary around so that i can write something when i think of it (unlike an anonymous blog, which i can post to from my cell)
a paper diary is a must. Online just doesn't cut it sometime :)
