Most people don't make a big dramatic deal out of LJ. I guess I'm not one of those people.
Due to a very unpleasant cyber-stalking experience (that became one person's IRL obsession), I don't feel comfortable posting public entries in my personal journal. Google is a powerful adversary, and I don't want to risk losing my privacy again. Still, I missed being able to write things publicly. I'm not a very private person by nature, but I've become much more gaurded now that I have a child to worry about.
So I created this journal as an outlet for my public thoughts, without revealing my identity. It sort of makes me feel like a livejournal secret agent (albeit a really crappy one). My personal journal is where I really connect with my friends; I may take LJ a bit too seriously in that respect, but I have made some of my richest and strongest friendships online.
If you'd like to get to know the real me, and not just read my public entries, let me know here and I will add you on my personal journal. No need to ask if you just want to add this journal - all are welcome. :-)
