Hello all,
As an observer/proclaimer of satire, I have a problem. I like writing funny little chestnuts in my blog about my daily life. This often times encompasses my parents knowing fully that the idea of doing anything else on the Internet rather than checking their email is preposterous. This of course leaves them wide open for announced criticism.
BUT, what about everyone else? As I become a facebook celebrity-seriously! and more mild acquaintances befriend me asking, "Do you have a blog?", "Are you on facebook(leading them to my blog)?" This notoriety posses a ginormous snag.
How am I supposed to write about all the stupid/ridiculous things that happen to me if everyone I know is all up in my blog? I mean encounters with strangers and my parents could fill a robust armoire with stories for years, but what about everything else? There is a a reconciliation afoot and commenting on that can be very juicy. People I don't remember and some I don't like try to "Friend" me on facebook and I guilt "Friend" them, thinking well what can it hurt- oh (!), answer that after 8 pages of awkward "what are you doing now" emails! It is awkward AND hilarious.
So I ask you, oh knowledgeable 5 or less people who read my world famous blog, what's a boy to do?
Please choose and comment:
a. Keep the person life out and delve deep
b. Stop telling people about your blog so you can write about them
c. Let's get personal- real personal-oooooooooooh
d. Tastefully say things like, "I once knew this guy who....." and tell anonymous stories hiding the identities of people.

I pick D. Because then it will be funny for you if you wrote about someone all anonymous and such and then they read it and are like "oh man that was so (funny, stupid, whatev)" but it's really about them. I think YOU would gain countless personal laughs, and no one feels bad :)
