我还是觉得公开在网上写自己的私事怪怪的。访问他人的博客就像是在窥视他人隐私一样。现在很多人都喜欢访问那些明星博客，不就是为了了解些八卦新闻嘛，没什么意思。

I still think it's weird to write about your own personal matters publicly online. Visiting other people's blogs is like spying on them. Now a lot of people like to visit stars' blogs. Isn't it just to learn some gossip? It's pointless.
