Off to a good start!

December28

I’ve just moved here from a very public site on which I could say very little of what I wanted to say, due to my entire name being available on the thing. Embedded in the domain name, no less.

I’m not shooting for total anonymity here, I just don’t want people to be able to link this or any other blog with my real-life self. Don’t get me wrong. I stand by everything I say. I would never try to be completely anonymous and thus avoid all responsibility for my words. I just feel it’s a bit of an unfair advantage when people who have seen you at work or school or church or even accepted an application for an apartment from you go home and Google you to their heart’s content. If I could turn around and peek in their underwear drawer, well then, it would be all right!

OK. I’ve been up for 24 hours. I’m not entirely sure any of this will still seem like a good idea on the other side of a good long nap, so I better scoot!

    Hey Baby!

    I’m so proud of you and love the new name you’ve picked out! You’re absolutely wonderful!!


I’m here because I’m lonely. I’m here because people who are lonely in the same way I am lonely have a very hard time finding each other. .

Being hearing impaired / deaf is lonely.
Having bipolar disorder is lonely.
Being an undergraduate student in your mid-thirties is lonely.
Being a Biblical Studies major is lonely.
Being infertile is lonely.

And even though it shouldn’t be, being desperately in love with God is sometimes the loneliest feeling there is.

So there it is. I’m dropping any attempt to be slick or intellectual or one of the cool kids. I’m just here to share the things I struggle with, the things I’m trying to understand and the things I am learning.
