I've finally succumbed. I've been refusing to get onto Facebook for months, all the while figuring out that practically EVERYONE I know is on. My husband joined a couple of months ago and has said he will help me get started. My refusals have had a lot to do with personal insecurities. I knew some of my family members were on as well as my friends. I only see most of my family on holidays, and I don't think that they really know that much about who I am the rest of the year. I wasn't sure if I wanted to open myself up to that. Then I found out that a friend who just got married posted her wedding pictures on Facebook. Did I really care so much about my insecurities that I would miss seeing pictures of a wedding I was unable to attend?
At this point I realized, Hey, I'm a grownup! I shouldn't be worrying about things like what people will think of me, right? So if you know me personally and do the Facebook thing, I've started up my profile. But for now, I will not be linking it to my blog or anything else I've done online anonymously. Baby steps you know.
About Me
- Moderatrix8
- It seems that I am a paradox. I view myself as staid, stoic, and rather stodgy. Others apparently view me as eclectic, eccentric, and unpredictable. My favorite color is purple, I don't know if that says anything. Everyone seems to agree that I'm honest. If you want to know if those pants make you look fat, I'm your girl. But I will try to be diplomatic and not hurt your feelings. I enjoy pop culture including pop music, celebrity watching, and reality TV, but I still enjoy the punk rock and British sci-fi and comedy that I got hooked on as a teen. I subscribe to natural healing practices, but not to the exclusion of good science and sound medical advice. I will concede that I am pretty open-minded about most things. My religious and spiritual beliefs are almost always up for revision. I'm constantly looking for new ways to explain old things. One thing I'm not is an elitist. I guess that comes from open-mindedness. I don't think my beliefs are better than yours, and I will argue with anyone for your right to believe what you want to believe. Oh, and I read a lot.

Come find me :) I succumbed a few months ago. I'm under my full first name, maiden name and married name (as in: C___ R___ C____)
I didn't see you! I'm trying to find you on facebook. I practically live on it since I'm in front of a desk all day long at work. Also, I'm now a blogspot blogger. The five blogs in the world I read regularly are all blogspot so it was clearly time to switch.
