On why I do not give away my blog addy freely

As you can see, I am pretty much a young blogger. The Internet, was for me, something of a taboo, right until recently and I tell you, there are still things that I would not do on the Internet, such as Internet banking. Will try it soon but with caution.

A lot friends are surprised that I actually blog. I know my cousin was. Hee, hee! In fact, I still am surprised myself. Sometimes. I am actually a rather shy person at heart and this thing about telling the whole world what I am doing, is a little too much for me at a certain point of time in my life.

Therefore, even if my friends exclaim about me having a blog, I am not all ready to provide them with my blog URL. Reason is, I don't want to seem too eager and come across as erm, desperate (for the lack of the right word to use).

I mean, why would they want to read my blog anyway? I would only give them my URL when they ask me for it. In this way, I know that they are genuinely interested in reading it. Well, come to think, they might be thinking the same. They might think why should I, the author, be sharing with them about my blog. They may be waiting for ME to give them the green light instead.

Seriously though, I would never ask "Do you want to read my blog?" That is so...tacky, and desperate.

The other reason is of course, that I may have written some things about them that I do not expect them to read about. It is true that there are hundreds of postings, but who's to say that they would not go and read each and every one of them?

Anyway, thanks for reading about my not-so-important life. Have a good weekend!
