my intro!

i figured i suggested the theme, so i ought to write about it

i've been on BL for almost 7 years, and i am amazed at how much i have changed and my interactions with this site have changed. i stumbled upon the site looking for information about rolling, i think i wanted to know if it was going affect my birth control. then i began lurking and do not think i really began posting till a year or two after i joined. shortly after that i went to my first meetup and slowly began making friends thru the site.

i used to post whatever came to my mind because of the anonymity. then i went thru a phase when i was extremely cautious about what i posted because of who might read it. now i am in an in between phase, where i know friends (including my fiancée and roommate) may read things, but i do not care.

i use this blog mostly as a place to rant and complain and get out frustrations so i do not bore my friends with the same issues over and over again. and i may post somewhat cryptic things that apply to my mood of the day. or just amusing tidbits that i want to keep a record of.

as for more about me, here are 25 random things i copied over from facebook: http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/blog.php?b=926

 

i have no idea how i mistyped 25 as 43, but i did. is there something i am missing out on about how to edit entries?

 

The little pencil icon on the bottom right-hand corner of your post should let you do it.

I know what you mean about the phases of anonymity. Hell, I chose my name because it was the most common name that I could think of. Now I have to remind myself not to post too much about work, or anything that could get connected to the company. Paranoid? Maybe. But I'd rather not lose my job and have my shares be worth nothing because some puritan organization that happens to own a fuckton of shares doesn't like the fact that one of the chemists at this little startup is an active member on a <gasp> DRUGS message-board.

 

^ah, something is blocking that icon cause i only see them on my phone. but i am glad to know there is a way to edit posts.

edit: ah, for some reason i had icons blocked with adblock.
