My first blog was on a site with some dorky name like “dear diary” – I hardly wrote in it – I was reading entries by other people and still wrote in a notebook. Then I jumped to blogspot and some others. Sometime later I started on Livejournal but that was more of a social bs thing than a real blog for me. I had friends on there and some of them I still know… I think that must have been around 2003. I deleted that one shortly after I started grad school and since then have used blogspot/blogger, tumblr, posterous, wordpress, and myspace, and finally my own website.

I still use notebooks or journals too for the things that are closer to my heart. But I’m fairly candid on my website about my life and what I think. It’s one of the ways I’ve been able to be more vulnerable and open about myself and knock down some of the walls I’ve had built up for so long. It helps… at least helps me.
