I can happily say that I didn't give a damn about which topic I had to pick. I had ideas for the final one I had remaining (since I did the hard ones first).

I guess I should clarify the "people I know irl" and explain.
Outside of my partner/roommate, everyone that knows I have an lj is someone I met on the internet.

These days it's an "open secret", but I still prefer maintaining that level of division, and I didn't want to ask anyone that didn't already know about my journal...thus limiting the pool.
Being closeted, even partially, sucks, y'all.
