Journal good
Somewhere along the line keeping a journal lost its appeal unless it was to be online so people could read it and validate me (or whatever the reason, I don’t know myself well enough to say). I’ve been wanting to keep a journal lately to document the changes that are going on in my life right now. But I CAN’T. I think its because I feel I can’t win. Either I write it in a book no one will see until I’m dead, and maybe not even then, or I write on here where too many people I know can read my inner thoughts and so I don’t really want to be completely honest anymore (because I made the mistake somewhere down the line of thinking I wanted people who knew me to actually know me). Hard to believe that I would hold back? Believe it, baby. I’m actually very shy. Well, maybe that’s not a surprise. Bloggers need only leap during that brief moment when they hit “enter” (right before all hell breaks loose, or more accurately nothing happens because you just about bored the shit out of everyone). Other than that, they hide behind their firewalls, vulnerable only to criticism.
So, what has happened to me lately (topics for later blogs that I say I will write, like everytime I get on here saying I want to write regularly like I once did)?
- I (Prometheus) escaped from the rock that was Snellville (home of Diana Digarmo), conservative stronghold - or at least it was, that along with demographics may be finally changing, but too late for us – to a location “ITP” (inside the perimeter, for those of you who have never been to the ATL). WE MOVED!
Without getting into the details (that are the fodder for individual blogs), that about sums it up. Sorry, I thought the list would be longer when I started a list.

Many people write only on protected so they can control who views their thoughts. I keep a separate site that no one who read's my stuff know's me personally but that has disadvantages as well.
Another popular idea is to write completely anonymously. then you can have people you know read your thoughts with out knowing it's you.
As far as letting people know who we truly are: Nobody does that because who we truly are is not a pretty sight. I think most people realize this that's why they put on a facade for other people.
I hope some of this helps!!!!
Wow, moving is big news indeed. Hope that all went smoothly, or if it didn't, that interesting stories came out of it!
Dying to know how you and the kidlets are doing (although by now, I suppose I should be calling them fully-grown 'kids')!
