I did it

Thanks to all of you for your input on Facebook. I went ahead and signed up and so far I'm having fun with it. I've caught up with several friends whom I haven't seen in ages. It's especially fun to see pictures of their kids.

If you are on Facebook and would like to friend me, email me at hairlinefracture at gmail and we'll exchange information. Also, I'm keeping this blog separate from my Facebook account. Since I'm a pastor's kid, in the past some people would read my blog posts and if I vented, they would email them to my dad. Blogstalking + tattletaling! SO mature. That's actually why I stopped blogging on Xanga and started using Blogger. A lot of the same people (not to mention family) are on Facebook, which is fine for casual updates but this blog is where I share my deeper thoughts and feelings.

*tearing up* Did you know, dear readers, that you complete me?

That was me being silly. But I do need to write and this has become my place to do most of my writing. I have learned to edit what I write (even here! because I don't want to afflict you with TMI) and that doesn't mean I am not being myself. At the time of the above incident, I was in therapy, learning about who I really was and how to be that person. I was tired of pretending to be perfect and I was excited to say what I thought and felt, whenever I wanted to. Plus I didn't really understand that the Internet is a public place, and anyone can read your words unless you prevent them from doing so. I AM myself here, and on Facebook, just different layers of me.

I'm like an onion. I have layers.

What is with me and the silly references to movies?

Anyway, blogging is my first love and I'll never abandon it for Facebook. I may have a stalker here; I wouldn't know. I guess I just prefer my blog to be stalked by total strangers than by judgmental acquaintances. Lots of love and y'all have a lovely day.
