I’m sure you’re all wondering why the big switch and all the anonymity, since in fact, you have all been hand selected (congratulations) and obviously already know who I am since you followed me from the previous story.
I had been re-thinking my world of blogging for a few months, and as a result I had been publishing less and less and censoring myself more and more. It wasn’t very fun. I kept hearing via third parties about “all the people” who read my previous story, and honestly, I didn’t like that anymore. It was fun while it lasted, but I wanted a little more privacy in my life for the time being. My main purpose in blogging from the beginning had been simply to share the fun stories of daily life that really only family and friends would even care about. Then it grew. The nature of the web (as I know so well since The Narrator IS the web!) is that it is very public. Anyone can read. Anyone can lurk. I do it all the time. There wasn’t any one event to cause my switch. I didn’t received any threatening emails or messages or stalkers or anything to cause me any sort of fear. I just wanted privacy. So here I am. And here you are.
So why the anonymity since I am making all of you register and login? Because someday, maybe in a year or so, I’ll go public again, but anonymously as Story Girl. I’d like all my regulars to get into the routine of anonymity (so I’ll edit your comment if you forget and use our real names). And I’d like to take this time to re-figure out who I am as a blogger and what my story is before I go public again. Thanks for joining me through the pages.
This is a cool and worthy venture. I’ll be hard pressed to remember to come read without an RSS feed though. 🙁
I know, Topher. I know. I’ll just remind you on IM now and then 🙂
Very nice. We, surprisingly, have a private family blog where the kids get to post as well as the adults. There is something to say for that (which is funny coming from a family that puts pretty much everything “out there”.)
Oooo, pretty!
Good to be here!
Hmmm — Maybe I need to change my user name! Now you have me all wiggy!!! I miss you and I STILL want you to do my curtains. You tell me when you will be near my office… or I will bring the material over. I KNOW it will be a cynch for you – but know you have a party to plan… when is that over?
Thanks for letting me be included!!!!
Hand-picked. I feel really honored!
I understand it all!! I need to be more private on my Xanga….and My space. I look forward to reading your new pretty blog!
I understand… I have a blog on MySpace that’s pretty much for music gigs, etc. The real stuff is over on The W’s W’s.
I’m in the “have to remember this since I can’t get it on Google Reader” camp.” 😀 I’ll add it to my list of stuff I check daily.
Thanks for including us in the story. 😀
Test test. Comment testing *stares at my name hoping it’ll turn out right*
*crossing my fingers*
Finally! I made it. Thanks for the help! This site is really cool.
You can never be too safe! Thanks for letting me follow!
