Oh, brother

Dude, how long have you been reading my LJ? And why?!?
---
Just found out that my brother knows about, and occasionally drops by to read, my journal. Plan A to make sure that my family takes no interest in my LJ: Security through obscurity. Result: Complete and utter FAIL.
Plan B is an elaborate scheme involving wires and levers to make sure my brother is unable to visit my journal from his computer.
...
Plan Y involves installing a tiny watchdog beside my brother's keyboard to make sure he can't type my journal URL.
...
Plan aa is to carefully monitor all my entries and comments, and viciously screen everything that is more interesting than a blank piece of cardboard.
...
Plan xy is to preemptively blurt out all my most embarrassing secrets in a public entry. If it's going to come out anyway, I might as well control the when and the how.
...
Plan zzz is to friends lock all my past and future entries.
---
Dude, seriously, T_____T.
ETA:
Oops, guess it's not coming across. I'm indulging in a bit of nonproductive whining right now, but things really are (will be) all right :-)
Also, also, I'm making fun of myself.

you're on permanent account, why not try the new lj feature for permanent and paid members called mass security editing tool (or something like that)
hehe. most of my pages have been locked as I use a client called semagic without the hassle of a page reloading in the browser.

Date: 2007-07-01 03:23 pm (UTC)I guess I should make it clear :/
The post above was (very whiny hyperbolic) humor. Plan zzz is ultimate last resort, i.e., only going to do it once I've gone through Plans A-Z, a-z, AA-ZZ, Aa-Zz, aa-zz, etc.

See, my mother is on my friends list. I just have a custom friends group called "Anyone But Mom" :)
My youngest brother found my journal back before I had the rename plague. I'm not sure how. As a result, I had a disturbingly coherent conversation with him, considering he was drunk at the time.

Date: 2007-07-01 03:26 pm (UTC)I'm being a bit stupid, I know, but two of my closest friends I met because I kept my journal open and I keep hoping it will happen again :) so locking my journal probably won't happen.
I'm just a bit uncomfortable with the situation, but I did know it would happen. I just didn't realize it had happened long ago! XP (he found it way before, and only told me now).

Date: 2007-07-01 05:23 pm (UTC)(Voiceposts are the exception though. And pictures. Those definitely go under f-lock. But just normal squeeage seems harmless, even if it does make me look silly and airheaded ;)))

Date: 2007-07-02 03:40 am (UTC)Also, have you read my Eyeshield fic yet? I need to post it by Thursday, and if you don't have time to just read through it then I think I can ask someone in the comm to do it?

Date: 2007-07-02 11:24 am (UTC)I have read! Am going over it in my mind right now.

Date: 2007-07-02 11:41 am (UTC)...You're not going to write a comment longer than the fic itself, are you? (This is a rhetorical question.)
Also the second, look out for a package in about 2 weeks. If it makes it through customs.

Date: 2007-07-01 05:55 pm (UTC)Dad found mine. I have no idea how regularly they're reading it. I showed it to my aunts, who are cool, but not to Dad. My sister is on my friendslist but never uses LJ; one of my cousins uses LJ and we're always commenting back and forth.
But. Dad. I can see why the eepy.

(Parental readership is why I lock down anything mildly sensitive.)
