First post!
Jan. 10th, 2010 02:02 amHello, good readers.
I hope to use this journal to branch out a bit... I've been on the 'net for many years, but have rarely posted in public forums because of that little voice in the back of my head that goes, "You know, every single future employer you have will be googling for some reason to not hire you. Do you *really* want to say that?"
On the one hand, that voice is just being prudent. On the other, it's resulted in a lot of self-censoring, when there may well be good things I can say and contribute to the world. (I've had more than one friend say, "But you should write about that! People want to hear it!")
This journal is meant to allow me to stop censoring myself, and start participating. Meet my new pseudonym: giveamouse. Sometimes to be known as "A. Cookie" depending.
