Is this the lamest blog on the internet?

So... I was going back and re-reading some of my old posts...

Yikes! I have to laugh at myself, shake my head, and mutter "emo much" under my breath. Apparently, when I blog, I almost always do it when I'm depressed or frustrated or angry, which means most of my posts sound like some 18-year old wannabe goth poet wrote them. It's terrible!

Though, in the end, I actually do feel better when I can vent my emotional turmoils here. One, if I vent here, I don't have to embarrass myself by sharing my overly dramatic feelings with other people. Two, it helps me work through the various, winding ideas I have floating around in my head by putting them into a (relatively) coherent whole. Three, like number One, I don't have to hold back for fear of being judged or for fear of hurting someone. Four, since this is anonymous, I don't have to worry about my fears getting back to the people about whom I'm worrying or my feelings getting back to the people about whom I'm thinking.

Regardless, though my little blog therapy has been good for me (cathartic one could say); however, now I'm aware of the silliness of the way that I write (no Hemingway-like tales in my future). So, that is why I can't help but wonder if this is the lamest blog on the internet... ;-)
