There are definitely bloggers I read that try not to give away too much of themselves...but I find those places to be kind of shallow and I loose interest.<BR/>I've also noticed that the more honest I am, the more honest you are...I guess that being open could be feigned (sp?)...forged, but I don't think that is usually the case. <BR/>I know several people personally who read this blog...and I while I try not to edit what I write because they are reading it, I do think it has at least some effect on the content of what I write. For sure I wouldn't blog in too much detail about a romantic weekend with hubby...he would die of embarrasment and my sisters would probably gag!!! Ha ha ha!<BR/>As far as meeting any of you...I would go many miles out of my way to see you. I suppose at some point I will have to plan a party and pick a spot half way! :)<BR/><BR/>Prism...I was in SE Asia about 4 years ago. If I ever return, and I really think that I will someday, I promise to let you know!<BR/>It was one of the most wonderful trips I have ever taken...I fell inlove with the people and my heart is still there.<BR/><BR/>Val...I have family in Michigan, and I will let you know if/when we will be in the area :) If not for anything more than to hug your neck and tell you how often you are in my thoughts...<BR/><BR/>And Malinda, if I find myself out in Nevada, I will look you up too! :)<BR/>Just wish we could get Sean out there for a party or something! He really is a special person and I hope he keeps blogging once he arrives home.<BR/><BR/>Lee and X Dell...Australia and Atlanta? Thank you for stopping by! :)Mayden' s Voyagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169575773884459343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21103988.post-1146186545483783072006-04-27T20:09:00.000-05:002006-04-27T20:09:00.000-05:00This is a terrific post.

And people who know me in person know things about me that my readers will never know. Which is the real me? I don't actually think there is actually an answer to that. I have heard in science of the concept that the perceiver changes the perception and I think that is true of people. Everything about me is relative to the person perceiving me. If he of she is ten years old, then I seem very old. If he or she is eighty, then I seem young. My point is that I really don't like to think that there is such a thing as my TRUE self, divorced from the arbirtary perceptions of other people. Am I wrong?<BR/><BR/>I have never met other bloggers on person, but I have read the blogs of several bloggers who have, and they all seem to agree that it is a lot of fun. Maybe someday I will.<BR/><BR/>Again, great post. Very thoughtful.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11104981732733112853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21103988.post-1146150506741944152006-04-27T10:08:00.000-05:002006-04-27T10:08:00.000-05:00I'm sorta in a position to see the back stage when...I'm sorta in a position to see the back stage when I'm traipsing around meatspace. Posting (actually writing in general) allows you to see the front stage more often, as people can erase things before publishing. In real life, we cannot take back what we said.<BR/><BR/>I've met a few radio people, and tons of celebrities. With some exceptions, they're usually disappointments. They display cruelty (often not towards me but towards others, which, in my book, is just as bad) and pettines. They often bark orders and talk down to people.<BR/><BR/>I guess I'm seeing their back stage, huh.<BR/><BR/>Like I said, I've had some pleasant exceptions.X.

I also think we have "pictures" in our minds of what those we like to read might look like.<BR/><BR/>I've often thought that blind people must have an amazing insight to people. They know people for who they really are, and not what they see.<BR/><BR/>I have met online friends before, mostly normal. I've never been to a blog party... <BR/><BR/>I think I reveal some of both sides of me in my writing.<BR/><BR/>I think people around me know a different me than those who read. <BR/><BR/>I just I had more time to write and visit those I like to read.Malinda777https://www.blogger.com/profile/08228981460138143575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21103988.post-1145993892713944732006-04-25T14:38:00.000-05:002006-04-25T14:38:00.000-05:00You get me just the way I am.

I have most of the neices, nephews, sisters, cousins, uncles, friends and more reading my blog so they get all of the real me. <BR/><BR/>One sis just started reading I will as her your question.<BR/><BR/>and PS I don't know where you live but if I am ever that way I will meet you for coffee!Valerie - Still Riding Forwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15148433989184665687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21103988.post-1145926227729030062006-04-24T19:50:00.000-05:002006-04-24T19:50:00.000-05:00ello' there Mayden...thanks for the beautiful comm...ello' there Mayden...thanks for the beautiful comment you left on my post..I'll be answering it in a while...I would love to answer all the questions you posted here in your bloggy as well...<BR/><BR/>When I blog...only a part of the real me is seeps through...however it is a part of me nobody around me...really sees...<BR/><BR/>Funny how sometimes..people in blogosphere can seem to be kinder than those really around...maybe because that's the way I perceive bloggy people...I love words I love it when a person can articulate himself or herself openly....in my culture people can be very reserved and in want for the right words....<BR/><BR/>And you are right...somehow I see through the words...you know..like sometimes a post may come on as funny...but I fel that the writer is actually lonely...<BR/><BR/>I try to tell my friends here about the uniqueness of the people I meet...they listen with such fascination and are at awe that I take the time to write...but my words fail to truly convey how deep and meaningful my experience of blogging has been...And to answer your question...<BR/><BR/>1. I think we reveal a part of our front stage and back stage...<BR/><BR/>2. I think I know a very deep part of the real you<BR/><BR/>3. I write out of candor...I have been trying to gain everybody's approval all my life...this is the only space where I can be...just me...<BR/><BR/>4. I have not met any other blogger...I am in Asia...I live in a relatively small country...I do not think anyone from here reads me...I hope not...this is a relatively small country...I could get tracked...and as is...I'm afraid I'm blogging incognito...my Hubz does not approve...I think it would be most interesting to meet the other bloggers....especially you...<BR/><BR/>5. radio personality?...oh' yees! hee!hee!..I though he was tall dark and handsome..hee!!hee!...only to find out he wasn't anything of thst sort at all!<BR/><BR/>And Mayden...I'm going to post a real picture of me...something that isn't shaded or altered or has one eye showing he!he!...just for you...to see the real me...!<BR/><BR/>:))Lady Prismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04333352060797182573noreply@blogger.com
