I quit reading it after a few entries and I'm not going back. It was a nice exercise in detective work finding it, but it occurs to me that my kid is pretty reliable and pretty honest. Like when she got mono over Christmas this year, she was perfectly open with me about who all the suspects might be. I read enough of the Live Journal to see that she writes just the way most teenagers write online (thus making the internet generally unreadable). But if I make a big deal about my silly little delimma, I'll make her more self conscious about what she's writing now. And that may come back to haunt me later when I need to help the police find out where she's run off to.

That, plus spending the last two hours on the internet has reliably shifted my immediate interests to some other frivolous distraction. (Right now I'm reading Pravda's article on a woman who's slowly mutating into a thorn plant.) It's really no bid deal, once I get some perspective like that.
