I'm a little sweary in this one, so if you're offended by the occasional f-word, please don't read and then write nasty replies.  Then again, maybe I'll post them on my website to show the world how small minded some people are!

Okay, so for a while I've been thinking about this - that in itself is dodgy. Just how honest should you be? In 'life' you have to gage the situation to see if you should be an honest-angel or a lying, liar who lies?

Honesty has it's rewards, sadly, so does dishonesty.

In this case, I'm actually talking about blogging, so this could be a long, pretty incoherent blog!

Just how honest should one be in a blog that is potentially read by millions of people?  (Okay, I'm not going to get too many people reading this, I know).  Should you seriously divulge your inner thoughts, hopes, fears, hell, even those murderous desires that creep up on you in the dark and whisper in your ear?  That last one, just me then? Okay.

Will these written/typed words come back to bite you in the ass? 

Can you say just how much you might hate your co-worker/s and how much you'd like to disembowel them?  What if they read it, or heaven forfend, what if you read one and it was about you?

How would you truly feel if you read a blog where someone was describing a ritualistic disembowelling, general torturing serssion, only to find that you are the disembowelee/tortured one? (NB disembowelee - That isn't a real word, but never mind, you're intelligent people, so I'm sure you know what I mean.)

I personally think (well, today anyway, I might feel different on Tuesday!), that I'd be devastated that I'd pissed someone off to the point that they'd want to murder me in a most painful way.  I try not to piss people off, but I'm only human, so no doubt I have pissed people off. 

So, should I be proud of that fact? 

If I was to read the blog and it was about how much they wanted to do me harm, I HONESTLY think it depends on who would want to do the harming.  If it's someone to whom I would gladly reciprocate the ritual/general torture, then no, fuck 'em - they can write whatever they want.

Another conundrum - What if you harbour secret desires/fantasies about your best mate's partner?  Would you write those in a blog for all and sundry to read?  Then again, that just might depend on how kinky you are, I suppose.

I think this should NOT be put on a public website. Those thoughts are best kept in a diary that you can lock, or even just in your head.  Imagine your best friends reaction to reading that you'd like to have your wicked way with their partner and should it involve whips, leather/pvc/rubber, someone being tied to a bed...well, you could probably kiss your friendship goodbye.  Again, turn the tables, what if it was your best friend who was describing how much she/he would like to fuck your partner 7 ways from Sunday... on a public viewing space!

Okay, re-reading this, the former shouldn't either.  But why not?  Should we really care what other people think about us?  To be honest, I think that we shouldn't.  However, if you can find me one person out there who doesn't worry about what other people are thinking about them... please let me know their name and address (street or email).

Is it because we don't really want people to know just how passionately we hate someone or love someone we shouldn't. By our very nature, humans are passionate beings.

On a personal honest note, I have had those disembowelling/revenge fantasies.  I don't fancy any of my mates' husbands/partners so I do not want to do the horizontal mambo/bump uglies with them, nor them with me. 

I've been on the wrong end of being cheated on, so that's a no-go anyway.  Plus, that's an entirely different blog.

Most of my online friends know just how odd I can come across, I'm sure.  For crying out loud, I'm one of the original GutterGirls and Smutette to boot!

Should I admit to wanting to fuck Jared Leto 7 ways from Sunday in public, does that just re-affirm people's belief that I'm a pervert? Or would more than one of my friends agree with me.  I bet I'm not the only one who wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating crisps/biscuits/crackers/chips in bed!

Hang on, I just re-read that, it looks as though I'd like to fuck him in public.  Not what I meant, it would definitely be in a private/secluded place.  I would NOT go dogging!!

See the importance of punctuation, kids?? It should have been: "wanting to fuck Jared Leto 7 ways from Sunday, in public,"

I can't see any English teachers using the above to help explain the importance of punctuation to their class any time soon!

I digress, sort of.  So, does being this honest here on my blog help me out, or will I lose friends over this?  Only time will tell.

One thing I can tell you is that I won't be sending this link to my Mother.

I'm not saying that you should walk up to anyone 'famous' and basically tell them just how shaggable they are... that'll possibly get you a restraining order and unwanted publicity.  Plus, they've probably heard it a thousand times by a thousand crazed fans. 

Depending on your age, walking up to someone you might have a strong urge to boff and telling them this fact, could be a good idea.  Then again, if they don't reciprocate, it could get nasty!! Honesty might not be the watchword in this situation.

This will be continued...
