LOL. It's a short form for "Web Log". Web Log - weblog - blog.
*revelation* lol.

I've always kept journals. It's therapy for me. Putting down all my thoughts. Helps clear my mind.
But I've always wanted a journal that could be public and yet private.
It's advantageous when you want to record an event (say a date? or that cute guy I saw at the bus stop hehehe) and share it with your friends (or friendly strangers) without having to repeat yourself 35175262 times to all of them one by one.
But it's disadvantageous when people who don't know you well read things that might have more than one meaning to it or can be interpreted to be good, or bad, depending on how well they know you.
I've personally experienced that last bit - about weird people I hardly know coming to me and irritating me to bits about things I'd rather not talk about.
I appreciate their goodwill (if it was in goodwill and not just that they are busybodies), but if the only things we've ever said to each other is "Hello" and "Goodbye" or even just a nod or (fake, ok, courteous) smile then it's a little bit strange to suddenly feel this urge to enquire after my well being, especially in my private life, don't you think?
That's why I love that WP lets you password-protect posts and block unregistered users.
I was previously with Blogger and it didn't let me do that.
I have another private blog (yes, another! lol, no surprise init?

) that only 4 people know about, and I make sure it stays that way

It's not even hosted on my site.
Well I think I've said enough.

Time to hit 'reply'.
