purpose of this blog

sometimes the posts here will be identical to the ones on my live journal. (www.desertwanderer.livejournal.com) sometimes they won't be. i am somewhat irked by the way my parents react when they read about my struggles: my mom sends me about fifty emails and calls me ten or eleven times, and sometimes she gets very emotional. i am a wimp; i cannot stand to hear my mother cry. therefore, when i am distraught and don't want my parents to have to deal with it, i'll still have an outlet for those emotions. or, similarly, if i want to say something and not get teased about it, i'll put it here. my siblings probably know about this blog though, so that'll still be a consideration. it's not like i'd write anything incredibly personal that i don't want anyone to know about and then post it on the internet. that's be just plain stupid.
