The opening of the museum here is enormously exciting, but it also has me thinking about museums at home.

I know there are exhibits about me in at least a few museums - I've never been to see one, because it feels vaguely egotistical to attend an exhibit about yourself? But I've always wondered what sort of things they have to say about me. What parts of my life are worth putting on display for the public.

If there were a museum dedicated to you, what do you suppose would be on exhibit?

I'd never assume my situation is the same as everyone's.

It is sad, though. Having to keep secrets.

[penpoint]

I wouldn't say it's sad, necessarily. It's just difficult to keep secrets forever. Someone finds out.

[tigerpoet]

It isn't sad to not have anyone you trust enough just to tell them?

[penpoint]

It depends on the person, I think. Some people might be satisfied with something more -- simple, I suppose.

[tigerpoet]

That's true, I suppose. Although I don't think anything is ever simple here.

[penpoint]

You've got that right.
