I try very hard not to, MayB.

MayB, I am afraid that I do but, I don't think that it matters much. I'm not as uptight about things as I was at one time in my life.

As I sit here staring at the pile of reading I SHOULD be doing....
instead of spending 2 or 3 hours blogging I think I can agree with some firmness that yes, I invest too much time here. I've got 8 weeks until the LSAT and I'm not ready, but here I am on this damn laptop plugging away, reading blogs and posting on mine....it's a neverending addiction, but at least I can recognize it as such. I'm not sure others here can...(ssshhhh, they might be reading us right now!)

MayB,
I think I see myself giving a bit more as time goes on. This Blogit thing is sort of anonymous isn't it. I can say what I feel and no one has to know who I am. I think that's a beauty of it. I also think if more of the people I know were on Blogit and knew who I was, I wouldn't feel as free to give too much of myself. That is something I'm trying to work on in my writing too. I'm trying to let it all go, so get it all down. It's becoming a bit cathartic.

May, the short ones are the best. My Sam just makes it over 5ft.
Do I give too much of myself? No. I hold back loads. It's not that it's intensely private, though - the stuff I often hold on to is the stuff I know I must deal with myself. I also hold back many of the down parts of my life that others like to share and get answers on - I'm not saying others shouldn't post such stuff, it's just that I choose not to. At the moment. All things are subject to change.
Just realised my comment's longer than your post, so I'll shut up now.

I can just go back and read your entries that I have missed. *grin*

Sometimes...yes, I do. It goes in spurts....it's a release....therapy. I hadn't been writing until I signed up in mid-May; and I haven't learned to control the time I spend on here - that's the main issue for me.

MiaPratt, that sounds like a healthy approach.

Not yet...
I like to write my thoughts first, then post them when I'm ready to reveal them at a later time (even an hour later). That way I can write when I feel like writing, and tap into reading the writing of others as a separate process; That seems to break things up for me so I don't feel emotionally drained by the length or intensity of my blogging interactions..?
Mia.

Hola,
Well, so far, I don't think that I have. It is much easier to tell more about yourself in this Blogit world, but so far, I haven't regretted anything that I have wrote except coming back to posts that I have made and seeing way too many typos. I hate it when I do that.
Go Easy,
J. King
