Do I Tell...

I think this is the post that will push me onto 2 pages, and that's got me thinking.

Me:  Do I tell people that I've started a blog?
Self:  Well, you DID tell those two people that one night at the dinner table...
Me:  Yes, but that was the day after I'd started the blog, and I just HAD to tell somebody.  Plus, computers are tricky for them, I don't even think they've thought looked at it yet.  I'm talking about OTHER people.
Self:  Like... Facebook?
Me:  Essentially... Yes.

(Even though I can carry that conversation really well in my head, it was surprisingly difficult to keep it all straight as I typed it so... that's enough of that!)

I'm facing a bit of a dilemma.

On one hand, I don't really want my blog to never be read by anyone.

On the other hand, I'm terrified that my blog will ever be read by anyone!

You see my dilemma?

I'm still not sure which hand will win out.

Part of my struggle with my decision is HOW to tell people.  I don't really think that telling everyone on Facebook is the way that I want to go.  I have been, and intend to be, very honest about my life, and that route just feels a little too over-exposed.  Though, there are a lot of people there who I feel would make very good, supportive stalkers.  I want to be able to tell all of THEM without having to hand pick who they will be.

Hmmm... maybe this is too much to think on at TWO in the morning.  I'll sleep on it.

THAT reminds me of THIS.
(Note: If you are sensitive to scientists who talk about evolution, be prepared to cover your ears for 5:31-5:39.  Also, I apologize for the weirdness that is 5:44-6:06.  BUT the science and everything that is not related to a sex joke is, I think at least, kind of fascinating.)

So... How've you been?

Hello lovelies!  It occurred to me today that I have been neglecting my poor little blog! To make up for it, here is another  Random Things  post :) Thing One:  Movies!!! So many movies coming out in November that I want to see!! Off the top of my head... Big Hero 6, Mockingjay, and The Imitation Game. I know that's only 3, but considering a that a typical month has maaaybe one, I think it's impressive. Such a random spread too! I feel like it gives a pretty good insight into my personality... you've got the love of disney/animated/adorable, the gotta-see-how-well-they-adapt-this-book-why-are-they-making-it-two-parts-that-seems-unnecessary, and the nerd in me wanting to see 1) Benedict Cumberbatch, and 2) the history behind the one of the coolest set of code-breaking nerds ever!  I'm so excited (and I just can't hide it...etc.). Thing Two:  Singing in Public I'm not sure how I missed this about myself before, but it has come to my attention lately that I

Letters to Anxiety

Edit from the future for some context: Summer of 2015 I learned that I had been living with undiagnosed anxiety. And not just for a few years, but likely for my whole life. To say that the coping mechanisms that I had learned in those 25 years were "bad" is a significant understatement. It took me 3 years from this point to learn enough healthy coping mechanisms to -start- to tip the balance in the right direction, and another 2 years before I stopped using "failure" as a label for myself. Of all the posts on this blog, this one is the one I've wanted to delete the most. Just look at it! It's so cringey!! But, for better or for worse, I've decided that it gets to stay. It was an honest moment in time, and I don't have the heart to hide it. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hey Anxiety, You suck. Sincerely, Me P.S. I'm going to start writing you letters. I won't say daily (because we all know that isn't going to h

Dear Love, About Boxing Day...

I haven't blogged in months. This is mostly because I've been struggling with a lot of anxiety in this time and had the (decidedly disabling) thought that if I blogged at all, I should write about anxiety... Turns out that it is kind of anxiety inducing to write about anxiety. So I'm cutting myself free of that for now and I'm sure I'll write about it eventually, just not when it's a "should" write about that, but instead a "want to" write about that. I'm going to write instead about something very currently important. Dear Love, I need to talk to you about Boxing Day. Yes, December 26th. It's on a Saturday this year. (It's not important that it's on a Saturday, I was just pointing it out because I'm nervous.) So here the thing... Boxing Day is a big deal for my mom's side of the family; it's a big family reunion and all that jazz. And, well, I was kinda hoping you would be able to come this year. BUT th
