Note to all who read my journal regularly:
Chances are if you're reading my diary, I know you personally, and have given you the site address. Please don't give your friends the address, even if you're really impressed (or otherwise,) by something I write. You can copy and paste it, but pleasepleaseplease don't give some random person my address.
Also, as you are each a part of my life (and big parts, at that,) I like to talk about you. Sometimes I'm going to write things that aren't very nice, and sometimes I'm going to write things that are.
Please keep in mind that I'm at one of my emotional highs (or lows) when I'm writing. I write from the heart, and sometimes it comes out hurtful and bitchy. I apologize in advance.
If you would like your name to be disguised (initials..a nickname, something that won't identify you as you,) or if you would like your name to be kept out of my journal, please let me know. I don't want to cause any undue stress.
And, to those of you who are reading this who I don't know, please don't email me with your snippy comments about how my journal sucks, or how my viewpoints suck. I don't write this for you. I don't write it so the liberals can love me and the conservatives hate me. I write 'cuz I want to, and 'cuz I like to. Your ideas are welcome, and feeback, I think, is somewhat necessary. Just know that I probably won't be very quick to respond to you if you bash me.
Peace out,
