I doubt that any other Diary on DL has over 3000 entries, as this one has. I'm kind of curious.

This has been my depository for well over four years now, and I'm proud of it. I'm happy to have had it. And I'm a better blogger than most of those who are popular. Because I'm unaware of my audience.

In the end, isn't this ideal? Being totally oblvious to your audience? Not knowing whether your visitor is once in a while, regular, or never before and never again? That lends genuineness to the blogging. You don't get preachy, you write for yourself, and that someone else happens to read is only their gain.

It's odd to write a book that no one will read, but if no one will read, then I make no sacrifices for an audience.

I feel accomplished in what I've accomplished. Document my life, largely emotionally and fracturedly, since freshman year. I'm proud of my style. A lot of quick reads that keep you reading, and the occasional sum-up that makes it all make sense. It's how we do.

I've gotten to a point where I create things that make me laugh, not things that make others laugh, and I count on people to be like me. In a way, I create this because I would read it. I suppose it sucks for all those who aren't me.
