Sometimes I'm So Full Of Shit That It Should Be A Crime
The two main reactions I get when people realize I have this is:
1.) "You have a blog?"
Understandable. This person has heard of web logs, maybe read a few. They're surprised that I -- this person they know -- is part of this cult organization. They're perhaps disappointed and curious all at once.
2.) "Am I in it?"
And I could be real coy and say something like, "You'll have to read it." But the bottom line is . . . yes. Just about every good friend, girlfriend, meaningful acquaintance or family member has been chronicled -- in some sort of way -- here. And could be again. When people learn this, there's a sense of shock or betrayal, but I think that's unfair. Mainly because I never release a real name unless it's something innocuous (or entirely positive). But also because I'm not out to "get" anyone.
So the answers to all your questions are "Yes".
