In my last post, I mentioned that I was considering starting a second blog at which I can blog anonymously. I can have up to three blogs on this TypePad account. I added a second blog, but it's just a folder in my main anniemiz url. Hardly anonymous. Maybe I'll just stick with my current practice of blogging w/o posting when I want to write yet protect the innocent (or not so innocent). For some reason, that strikes me as kind of cheating. Not that that makes sense; just saying that's what it feels like. Then there's always the chance that I'll accidentally post something I didn't mean to post, resulting in the dreaded 'So you think I'm an asshole?' phone call or email.
I suppose I could just keep a journal in Word. I've done that before (as well as some old school handwritten journals back in the day), but always seemed to taper off. Dunno why that is. For some reason, writing in a Word journal feels different than blogging. When I write in a journal, I feel like I'm conversing with myself. I talk to myself now and again throughout the day (e.g., 'Where did I put that thingie?'), but I don't converse with myself. And it feels kind of weird to converse with myself. Maybe I'll try another blog (w/a different url) for the free trial period most bloggy places offer and see what I think. There are lots of people who have anonymous and non-anonymous blogs. I think some do it bc it lets them blog about stuff they'd rather their mother not know. Others do it bc it allows them to vent fairly safely. Some do it bc they want to keep different parts of their lives separate, e.g., work from family from personal from hobbies from whatever. Seems like it might feel kind of weird having two blogs, like being two people. Sometimes it's a struggle just being the one person I actually am. Well, I'll think about it and see what I feel like doing.
