Charlotte Gainsbourg: "Heaven Can Wait"

Did anyone reading this ever have a LiveJournal? Oh, I did. I thought, "HEY! This is amazing...It's like an online journal that I can post all of my thoughts, dreams, song lyrics I like....". And then I proceeded to post about everything under the sun, a lot of which pertained to my most personal matters. And boys I cared about. And things that left me vulnerable...

And I figured that no one would read it. Even though I made my home page pretty damn easy to find. 

And people found it. And left mean comments. 

I was pretty devastated.

However, as I look back...

I am glad I had the balls to put it all out there. I've always been that way. I've always been an "open book", but then, I had no filter. I still am an open book, no one would ever consider me private. I mean, I'm obsessed with my facebook and twitter accounts. I believe that life is meant to be shared...BUT...there has to be limits. Now, I share what I need to in order to feel "heard", but I mostly share things that my "audience" will enjoy. I don't mean "audience" in the way that a lot of people will read my blog posts or troll my twitter or facebook. Everything we put out on the internet to be read may be intercepted by this "audience". My "followers" and facebook "friends" are my audience. I often aim to please. I enjoy making people laugh. I sometimes try to get a rise out of people. On this here blog, I will be a bit more personal. If people "give a f***", they can come and check this out. This will be my 2010 version of my LiveJournal. I am still eager to share. I am still utterly obsessed with the internet. However, I am wiser. I will leave some to the imagination. That said, this is still my outlet. I will vent and sometimes talk about things that don't interest everyone. My opinions are sometimes controversial. I believe that everything is part of a bigger conversation. Please feel free to disagree or "call me out". I enjoy debate, and I think we all need a slice of 'humble pie' from time to time. 

This is my disclaimer. I'm still the same goofy, tall blonde that is a hopeless romantic that talks too much and searches for the meaning of life in song lyrics, just as I was in 2003. I've just been around the block a few times. Read my blog...Let's be friends.
