Do you keep a journal or diary?  How often do you write in it?
Submitted by Kim.

Sort of. I have a private blog and only a handful of people know the URL. Family is not included in that list and the only person in my real life that knows is my boyfriend. And, I can say without question that he respects it enough that he does not read it. I'm obsessive about checking the site stats to see who's been lurking since my last violation and the boyfriend is never there. Ever. Unless I tell him he needs to go there.

I write on it when I can. It's filled with emotional-vomit-type writing that makes sense to no one but myself. I've been questioned many times by many different people why I choose to write it all publicly yet refuse to share it with family. If it's private, why post it online for the world? I don't have commenting enabled because I don't want or need feedback or attention for it. It isn't pimped on message boards or search engines. I don't want fame for my insecurities.

It's online because I feel it needs to be. Because I want that bit of me to exist somewhere outside myself. Because once it's out there? I'm a little lighter in here.

And... because I can.

Show us your pets.

I don't love anyone the way I love him. He's my amazing little fur man.

Have you ever Googled your own name? How did you feel about the results?
Submitted by elen.

Yes, I have. I have an unusual last name. It isn't even slightly common and everyone with my last name, I know. A few years ago, just after my father died, a friend of his who I don't know Googled my name and found a VERY personal blog of mine. He emailed me and spoke of my father in a way he shouldn't have and then proceeded to give my Aunts the URL so they could check out all I was saying.

After that I became very, very aware of everything my name was on. Now if my name is Googled you'll just get one result with me and it's for the company I work for. All of the other results are for my cousin Karl. The rest of the internet knows me as just Christine Leanne... no last name.

What are you thankful for?

* I am thankful for Animal Crossing: Wild World. For without it, I may have gone insane weeks ago. My stability isn't what it used to be (which wasn't much to begin with) and this simple game has kept me occupied enough to keep me together.

* I am thankful for Dexter. It gives me something to look forward to each week.

* I am thankful for The L Word. Mostly I'm thankful to Shane for almost making me want to be into women.

* Yes, of course I'm thankful for my family and friends and all that bullshit. But right now? The things listed above are what I'm relying on most. They are constant and always there.
