I am sure a million bloggers have mentioned this already, but today I really felt it.

I just randomly clicked into a newly updated blog, no other reason in the choice apart from it was the only Chinese one I saw on the list. There was nothing particularly new about the content, basically just a girl writing her dairy.

Watching her laundry list of her day and her thoughts and feelings for the events, it suddenly hit me for the first time — this was really “voyeuristic”.

Not that this was the first time I read some blog that was quite personal and daily life. Just that in the past I was paying more attention to what they said, not to the act of reading itself.

Today, as I was reading semi-detached, I realized how weird it was–I don’t know who she was, what she did, but I know quite a bit about what she felt about something that happened the day before.

It was perhaps even more than the basic literal sense of “voyeur”: you weren’t looking at their bodies, you were directly looking at their thoughts.

Eerie stuff.

Especially when I know some person will read this.
