Obscurity - What ever does it mean!!

When I had to decide on a name for my blog, the one word that stuck out was 'Obscurity'. Now when I looked up that word in wordweb on my laptop it said:

Noun : Obscurity ub'skyu`ritee
The quality of being unclear or abstruse and hard to understand

I wonder why I felt that way. Its been almost two whole months and I haven't the faintest idea. So lets just see what it could mean.
Its described as being a quality, like a character trait of a person. Ok so far.
'of being unclear'. Now, ok, I can understand that too. At times people like to create a mystery about themselves. Not everyone likes to be an open book. We have our pasts, our present and our hidden ambitions. Now is this what it means? Was that what I was feeling? I wanted to be left alone perhaps, or I didn't want people to take every word I spoke and then stamp it on me. Is this going a little out of proportion. Maybe not, I am allowed to feel, aren't I? (Lots of I's here).

The other meaning of the word could be that its the quality of a person who is hopelessly never understood. Now I wouldn't call it a quality but its a state of the person to want to mean something but ends up being misunderstood.
So does the person want to be abstruse purposely or is he doomed to be never understood.
At the end of all this if I were reading this I would say, "Whatever is she saying"
Now am I being obscure or plain silly.
