Inspired by my affinity for learning about strangers' lives, I searched for "secret blogs" through Google. My conclusion is that contrary to the evidence I have previously encountered through mediums such as Postsecret and Texts From Last Night, people do not have interesting secrets.
The majority of the blogs I have located are addressed to one person in particular (my guess is a spurn..ing -is that what you call someone who is the opposite of the spurned? - lover or the object of unrequited affection) and are either rambling and pathetic or else clearly intended to be read by the person in question despite being "secret". First of all, don't lie to me. Second of all, what I want is a detailed and interesting bird's eye view into other people's lives. Will all extremely weird (and simultaneously eloquent) people please post links to their secret blogs in some kind of anonymous White Pages for secret blogs? I smell a paradox.
Please note: If you find the above post rambling and uninteresting, consider the form as a function of irony. If you found it interesting, please disregard the above note.
