I've been thinkin about bloggin...

I used to laugh at people who post to blogs--it seemed like mental masturbation to me. Then it seemed like the more I laughed, the more fascinated I became with doin "it". Blogging, that is. I kinda envied those who thought they had something to say that someone out there in the wide wide world would be interested in enough to read and maybe, just maybe respond to. One of the things I love about the Web is that the little people like you and me can have an instant publishing experience. I built a web site and sent it up to the server and 600 people a week were going to it in no time. And then, over time, one of my frustrations was that I didn't know who all these people were, I couldn't get feedback from them. I wanted to know what they thought, I wanted to know what they were looking for and if they found what they were looking for.

I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist in CA and I love interacting with people on the Internet. I spent about a year dating men I'd met on the internet and that was a very interesting period--ended up with meeting the best man I've ever been in a relationship with and we live together, have been for 29 months now. I've got plenty to tell people who want pointers about internet dating. I think it changes the whole playing field of dating. Would you dare?
