I think I'm gonna go back

... to being private, that is.

I'm tired of the drama.
I'm tired of having to censor myself, and be so choosy about what I share.
I'm tired of unintentionally hurting others' feelings and my intentions being misconstrued and misunderstood.
I'm tired of feeling obligations about my blog. This blog is for me, after all.


I may not go private, but right now I'm thinking I probably will. There was a time when the benefits to being public outweighed the benefits to being private, but I think that has now changed.

Anyway, that's what's on my mind right now. I'll turn on comment moderation so you can send me your email if you want to have access to my blog if I do decide to go private. That way no one else will see it. (If you had access to my blog when it was private before, you won't need to send it again.)


P.S. If you're a lurker or just like reading for fun, I hope you won't hesitate sending me your address either. I don't mind if people I don't know are reading this; I just want a little more control over it than I do now. (Like not having 5000 hits a day because a "famous" blogger, unbeknownst to me, linked to me.) So don't be embarrassed if you've never commented or don't know me or whatever - there is never an obligation to comment on here. Lurk all you want, baby. :)

Oh HM! You are so cute! Sorry about the the crazies who cause the drama! I hope they read my comment because they know who they are! Boo for CRAZIES!

I've been having those thoughts... But that's nothing my blog didn't already display. I'm not sad because regardless, I will have access. :)





.... right?

I love reading your blog. You crack me up and I am totally rooting for you and Josh. I would be sad if I couldn't read you anymore!

If you going private means we get more details on your juicy private life, then bring it on baby!! :)

Thanks to Michael Wiltbank I have come across your blog and laugh all the time. I love it.

We also work together...so it's not too creepy that I read this blog...right?

Or does that make me even more creepy? I'm not sure.

I'm so sad to hear that you're having trouble! I hope if you decide to go private, you can include me in your fan-base!

PS, Paul is not vintage... I bought him at Walmart. Isn't that a terrible thing to confess?
