No one's ever understood me like you, Tom

Was watching the second disk to the DVD Chamber of Secrets yesterday, and saw the interview with J. K. Rowling for the first time. Was very struck by her discussion about Tom Riddle's diary, and how when she wrote it it seemed very dangerous to her. Only afterwards did she realize how much it's like an Internet chat room.

Or LiveJournal, isn't it? As she puts it, "You put words down, and words magically appear in response. And it drives you to put down more and more of yourself--but you don't really know who is out there responding to you."

Hmm. I have been pretty open about my life in this LiveJournal. Yes, I do put down more and more about it. I look at my User Profile page, and damn, a lot of people have linked to me.

Er, there aren't there any Tom Marvolo Riddles out there, responding to me, are there?

Hmm. *Shivers a little and goes off to ponder this*
