LJ confessional
Somewhat tangentially to what I think of as my social circle are the people who actively participate in the "LJ Confessional," which is just a post made about once a year, open to anonymous comments, for people to let loose whatever's on their mind. swashbucklr is I think the closest of my friends to that group, and his post announcing the opening of Confessional 2011 is what led me to it. It's here: http://aroraborealis.livejournal.com/958520.html
I had the slimmest of expectations to be mentioned unprompted -- just enough to look -- and then prompted comment with a thread of my own. So far, the responses have been highly varied - people saying I'm hot, new people saying I seem interesting and they want to get to know me, and people who do know me giving me feedback on personality flaws. It's awesome because the latter is still being polite and not bashing. I hope I'm responding in the proper way to continue that trend.
Thanks to those who have commented, or who will comment after reading this. I like feedback.
