1. Knowing that people I know and that McGillians read my blog makes me very self-conscious, and thus, self-censored. If I say something like I think I have a thing for Egyptians, then I'll scare away every single Egyptian I've met. Strangers are dangerous, not scary. And so, I like the anonymity that comes in a relationship between a blog writer and a reader not acquainted with the writer.
2. "Uncensored" makes my blog sound very dangerous and I have a very non-scandalous, and yes, dare I say, boring life.
3. I don't want to be honest to the point which jeopardizes my relationship with others or causes trouble because 1) I'm a pansy and scared shitless of not being "good" 2) I like leaving a bit of myself to those who I can truly be intimate with (in a close friend sort of way). I'm not going to bitch and moan about other people except in the privacy of my own journal. See here -- fired bloggers.
4. I'm too lazy to actually dig up content that makes this blog exciting. This blog is about my life, and it's here for me to vent in. I'm not going to become some undercover journalist who exposes the corruptions and scandals in bureaucracy and life at McGill. It sounds exciting in theory, but like I said, pansy, scared shitless, and lazy.
5. I just like ending in 5 points. Oh, and, at least I'm being honest about my lack of transparency instead of pretending to increase transparency...AHEM COUGH. I'm not political.
