To those who've emailed to inquire if I'm still alive.....

I'm here, I'm here, just having a hellaciously intense day. Have a few news items I've been meaning to blog but just don't feel like so they'll wait another day.

Meanwhile, a coupla bloggy things. First, thanks to the folks who entered my little "if I could write for you for a day" contest. I'm mulling over your suggestions and requests and will fulfill my part of the deal later this month. Lots of great ideas and requests, so thank you all.

Many of you asked that I write more about myself, my home life, my pets, etc. I'm mulling that too. I mean, what else could anyone possibly want to know about me? Even my cup-size is buried somewhere on my site. Talk about transparency!

I've always been split on just how personal to make this blog. Do people really wanna read about what I did today? Hear details of my sexual depravity? Read about how overwhelmingly cute all the pets are (omg, I could just die, they're so cute)? Do they wanna gaze into my heart? Or worse, upon my navel?

I myself can't stand reading blogs that plumb too many personal depths. I gravitate towards places with more, er, worldly, even mercantile content (if God told me that from now on I can only visit two websites, the ones I'd have to pick were my yahoo newsreader and eBay. Embarrassing but true). Possibly because I am a therapist, when I go on-line I don't really want to find myself psychoanalyzing bloggers, much less spend time reading about what they ate or who they fucked last night. There's just a limited amount of room in my brain for the minutiae of life and I try to reserve it entirely for my family, my friends, and my clients. (And of course the pets, whose every nose-twitch or ear-quiver sends me into paroxysms of delight. Yes, yes, something is seriously wrong with me, I know.)

So I guess I do let my own browsing habits influence this blog's contents. I tend towards news and opinion pieces on an array of political/social/legal issues. I browse science and alternative media sites. I like information. Preferably useful information -- but then, you just never know what may prove to be useful down the road.

And here's another argument against getting too personal here. I'm such a nerd that you're probably already fidgeting Yeah, that's right. I'm the living proof you can be a dry, airy-fairy intellectual and a bombshell dominatrix MILF all at the same time.

Anyway, hope you liked my April Fool's blog yesterday. Not a single comment from readers makes me nervous that y'all didn't realize it was prank content and just thought I was being my usual goofy self.

Back to blogging as usual tomorrow.

Ok, I am going to admit it and say I was blond. I clicked on the felching sites, and I was like... whoa... Gloria must have made a mistake in the linkage? But I didn't say anything because that just would have been... umm... rude? I don't know... I just didn't think I should correct anything because obviously... you were so "helpful" in the add, giving everyone some jobs hmm? But... needless to say, it took me two days to come here and say... OK Glory... You got me. Hardie har har.... I was blond! I really didn't even THINK about April Fool's day when I read your post! You wicked woman LOL.

You got this reader ;)

Hugs and love,
Nirvana
