It's definitely slightly intimidating to know that, in theory, anyone could go back through my journal and read all my breathless teenage rambling about Jeremy Clarkson! But, on the other hand, I do like having a record of my adventures in fandom over the years.
I tend to assume most people won't bother reading back a long way, unless they a) like me and are prepared to be forgiving or b) hate me and are seeking evidence of terrible crimes, and in either case I doubt my early entries will change their opinion. And, in any case, it's not like my tastes are much less embarrassing these days; I've just learnt to use italics with more restraint.
