The more and more I engage in public webby type forums the more and more I feel the need to retract. Let me explain.
For one, I work in communications.
This means I have vested interests, outside of my own oh so fascinating life, in helping others communicate in the blogworld. If anything, I should be like Mother Theresa and put others in front of myself, at least online. That is if Mother Theresa were a blog/twiterer…which she wasn’t but who knows maybe she would be today.

For two, I work period.
Which means I like to dedicate at least 24 units of time to work, 4 units of time to working out, 6 units of time watching bad TV/drinking wine and the balance sleeping.**
For three, I am insanely private.
So even things sharing nonsuperficial things like this or this makes me really uncomfortable. But I find solace in putting it out there since I never do normally and I feel it has made me more upfront in real life. Well, okay I guess I have always been rather curt so whatevs.
On the other hand, I LOVE LOVE LOVE reading blogs and I get so sad when my fav blogs site the very same reasons I want to go dark. Oh I am too busy to write, oh I have a new love in my life, whoops my blog got me fired. Okay, the last one totally legit and begs the question why blog.
I mean for one, your comments are awesome.
It really is like Christmas for me when I see someone has posted one.
For two, I can’t seem to stay away.
I love the allure of posting my random musings of the day/week.
For three, I need to practice what I preach.
If I have no qualms on telling others to engage engage engage online, shouldn’t I be drinking the same Kool-aid?
So that is where I am at, I am meeting myself at the crossroads. Not sure where this short-lived journey will take me or if I will get over it by tomorrow (which is totally possible as I am insanely fickle).
This post is dedicated to pen and paper

Yeah, if you feel uncomfortable, better safe than sorry. You know I've been there. Who knows if some psycho is lurking out there waiting to Dooce you/stalk you in your real life and key your car/stalk your friends on MySpace. So scary. But take solace in the fact that you don't write anything controversial or embarassing.
Well I totally hope you keep it up since I LOVE reading your ramblings, general irritations in life, and most of all the fabulous things you do, wear, and travel to!
Come back to your blog....I just found it and I like it!
