Democratization of this blog

People are starting to come here occasionally, looks like. Sort of strange, but I suppose that's the advantage of a blog over a journal - you don't have to pretend you're writing to someone.

I've also now told two people I know about this blog - S, up in Seattle, and Dr Lizzie in Chicago. (You know, I always like calling you Lizzie, but Dr Lizzie sounds like an eighties rap artist. Definitely a keeper.) This leads to an interesting issue. I've never been one to tell everything to anyone - I usually sort of compartmentalize things, I'll tell this to one person, this to another. Now, there are things I wouldn't put on the blog, but there are perhaps things I'd put here that I wouldn't necessarily say to particular people, people I know very well. I've resolved, at least for now, to try not to censor myself, not to think about the people I know who might be reading this. We'll see how that goes - you two (and others later, no doubt) may learn some things about me here you wouldn't know otherwise.

As for you other people, glad you popped by. Feel free to comment away on my life, my positions, my thoughts, and my braindumps. It's all good. I tend to take strong positions - feel free to disagree in a similar way.
