Anonymity, Introduction, And the Right to Write

And so it begins, the process of recording my thoughts. Writing down what I choose to share about my life and those who are in it. The ins and outs, the ups and downs, the funny moments and the tragic tales (which often turn out to be humorous in hind-sight).

Those who do me the honor of reading this (few I'm sure!) will gain insight into my life that has been granted to only the tiniest audience thus far. And when I say tiny, I mean minuscule. I wouldn't call myself a liar, but I will say that I lead many different versions of the same life. I choose to edit myself in the real world so that some things are shared with my family that wouldn't be shared with my friends and vice versa. Truly, the only people who know it all are my boyfriend and my best friend, both of whom love me in such an amazingly unconditional way that they deserve to know it all, no matter how inappropriate "it all" may be.

Let us be honest from the get go, if everyone knew the truth I would be in a world of hurt, but more importantly my family and friends would be left bruised and bloodied and lying strewn about the pages of this blog as if it were a Civil War battle field. I can just picture my Grandmother laying stricken at the base of a curse word... And so, because of this, I have decided that my blog will be anonymous. All names will be changed in an effort to protect my current reputation...which probably varies greatly among the masses depending on how much of the truth they have been privy to! Let it be my solemn vow to bare the truth (as I see it at least) to you (if you choose to read it) in an effort to exercise my "right" to "write".

Which brings me, finally, to my wonderful King Sized bed. (Obviously the next logical thought in this process, no?) I vow to write every single little snippet of this blog as I sit, lay, lounge, what have you, on my bed. Why you may ask? Because that's what I like. It is what I do. It is my source of inspiration. It is where many funny things happen and many thoughts begin to form and flow. So please, I beg you, enjoy these notes from my king sized bed! If nothing else, you will find it entertaining and amusing :)
