The Urge to Purge
All of a sudden I'm stifled here. So much I want to post about, but in the back of my head I wonder, "What if someone is lurking here and is just waiting for the moment to grind my bones in a limb shredder?" You're thinking, "Outlandish, Mad. No one even reads your blog let alone has stalking tendences." But just what if a looney drops randomly into this blog one night--say some twisted knitter who gets directed here by typing in, say, "purl two"-- puts a few of my "puzzle pieces" together, buys a plane ticket,dons a trench coat, and turns me into a CSI statistic? IT COULD HAPPEN! I'd feel awfully sheepish with all my pieces blowing in the wind and wish I'd been more discrete. Time to go private, so I can show journalistic integrity? Time to batten down the hatches and draw the shades? Any opinions on this? In other news--Paco was asked to head an educational task force of sorts in our school district. This necessitates attendance at the board meetings/circuses, and last night he was at the computer until nearly 2 A.M. carrying on "committee business." According to eyewitness accounts today at lunch he was "impressive and did a great Richard Nixon imitation!" I'm hoping to get the lowdown on that at dinner. I just held a three week old cocker spaniel puppy at a home visit earlier tonight. His eyes were open and he cuddled right in and went to sleep. Ohhh... It was so cold this morning that I did one of those backward-facing-way-from-the-wind walks that we did as kids. See! Every part of me wants to write about stuff on this blog, but I daresn't!!! Any ideas?

Go private if you want to! But the suspense is killing me! What are you wanting to get off your chest??
If you go private I would love to continue to read your blog. I love your middle of the night ramblings. :)
I love your blog too so if you go private, please send me an invite. :)
I read too! I just don't comment very often.
I'm a data person, so I always think of the likelihood of an event happening. From blog to stalker to crime statistic feels like it would be a very rare event, so I wouldn't go private only for this reason, but there are a lot of other reasons. And if the worry is keeping you up at night, then by all means, go private. Just make sure you send me an invite.

I'm a data person, and I always think of the likelihood of something happening. Going from a blog to a stalker to a crime statistic feels like it would be a very rare event (though CSI might make us think otherwise) so I wouldn't go private just for that. There are lots of other reasons to do it though and if you think it will enable you to do more self exploratory and personal writing, or if the worry is keeping you up at night, you should go for it.
Just be sure to invite me if you do!
