The Day Before Friday 6/18/2009
Jun. 18th, 2009 04:32 pmFinished my freelance work for the week and found an invitation to dreamwidth in my mailbox, so here I am. In the past, whenever I've started an online journal or thought about starting an online journal I've balked at actually doing it, because I don't really want to deal with trolls or with anonymity issues or any of that, plus I'm a little bit lazy.
But I like the way dreamwidth lets you pick your friends and level of privacy, and I like that here I can write more personally without worrying about my reputation or about what my freelance clients might think about me.
Not that I'm all that spooky or secretive.
I can think of a couple of areas of my life where a journal like this could be useful: my paranormal and sci fi fascinations (which don't always play that well with clients who sometimes see these topics as way too geeky and/or 'woo woo'), and personal reflections on what is going on in my actual life, which I don't necessarily want to put out there for every troll on the web to smash.
So, hi.
Let's see where this goes.
