Incognito

Hello everybody! Phoenix here. The Feisty One has graciously offered me my own corner here in which to post things that I feel unable to post at the other place.

You see, everytime I turn around, somebody is outing me. They'll mention it casually, they'll mention it not-so-casually. Most of the time these people intend to pay me a compliment by bringing my hobby to light. I realize this. But, when so many people know what you are up to, you begin to self-censor.

Censorship is not good in general, but self-imposed censorship defeats the purpose of blogging. The whole idea is to vent my spleen so that I don't take it out on others or walk around with a full head of steam waiting to explode. Right?

So, these sorts of topics will be moving over here, where it is safe.

Many, many, many thanks to my feisty friend for providing me this opportunity. It is greatly appreciated by myself and my husband who doesn't understand why I've been getting twitchy.

It only took me 15 minutes to figure out why my posts weren't publishing. I've never worked in Moveable Type before.

I know what you mean about self-censoring. I found out that people from real life (church) were reading my blog without my knowledge, and one of them had a fit over something I wrote even though it in no way identified her, nor said anyting negative in any way about her. But now, I feel like I can't vent about anything at church anymore because they're "stalking" me. (I call it stalking because they don't tell me they're reading - but I know they are.) Anyway, that was a long rambling way to tell you I understand!
