I like my privacy. So why are my personal thoughts floating around cyberspace where anyone can bump into them? My husband says that privacy is disappearing, and I hate that. I don’t like being videotaped, having friends show up at my home with little to no warning, or even letting people read over my shoulder while I’m typing or writing. The thought of people putting videos of their children on YouTube makes me cringe. I guess by how, however, there are so many people “out there” that the chances of someone finding any certain random kid to kidnap are pretty slim. I suppose there are advantages to blogging. This may cut down on the number of tiny strips of paper I have floating around the house that say things like, “On such-and-such date Alex flushed a sock down the toilet.” This way I can look back and see all of our “adventures”. I’m hoping blogging will help me keep my mental abilities intact as I age. All this writing practice can’t hurt, anyway. Finally, I’m thinking that if I do decide to publish what I write, people I already know will have the chance to get to know me better. I’m not socially incapable or anything, it’s just that sometimes I’m not so good at expressing myself verbally. I don’t like crowds and I have a hard time getting a conversation going. I have ADD and mild Asperger’s Syndrome so I seem to go back and forth between being reclusive and being WAY too talkative about something I find interesting. Oddly enough, many people don’t find the same things interesting. Or maybe they did the first time I mentioned them…
Well, anyway, this is my first blog, more about me later.
