  As I’ve discussed with other Hucksters, I lack the energy or imagination to create an online persona.
  But one of these days I will, and then the fun will really start :-)

  Cindy, no need for a “mysterious” persona. You got a great online aura, and that is WAAAY more important.

  “My stalker just grunted on my Twitter”

  that sounds dirty. ;-)

  And I agree with the Wayward One. Enough already. I quit blogging because it seemed like everyone was and it was all just inane navel gazing. I enjoy writing, but didn’t have the time to do it justice, so I gave it up lest I be just another self-reflective blogger.

  Thanks CB.
  Speaking of auras, I found out I have a big one :-)

  Well… I would wager your online aura is much more real than the Reiki one.

  I am exactly like my online persona.. except when I’m not. Which is to say, my online persona is more stable than my real world persona… most of the time…. but not always…

  also.. I type and write much better than I talk…which is why I never call people, or talk on the phone. I loathe talking to people in person, or on the phone.. I do it.. but it’s something I shy away from.. unless I have to.. which I often do.. but I don’t like it..

  …did I mention that I’m not at all sure about many things…and use ellipses way too often…and incorrectly? I use them when I talk too.. which is to say.. I pause a lot…. sometimes.. to clarify.. but not always.. only when needed….

  Jbelle - I LOVE your blog. I want to start a blog, but I CANNOT WRITE! It is a chore, agonizing. But want to do something - my new resolution is to set one up and do something. It may only have pictures - somehow I’ll make them ‘talk’.

  Cindy_H on March 04 at 3:56 p.m.

  JBelle: I too love your blog. In fact I wanted to leave a comment, but it said I had to be a Google Blogger or Giggle Booger or something.
  And I don’t register for anything. Ever.
  Except to vote, and that hasn’t worked out very well.
  Oh, yeah, I also registered at the new SR website.
  We all know how that turned out.

  I loved your blog, JBelle! You are so real, and not like so many of us who are hiding behind our online personna. I’d like to say I am tall, thin, beautiful, and glamorous. Except that everyone saw me at Blogfest and knows I’m just a round red-headed hobbit.

• 

  Me on March 04 at 4:16 p.m.

  Marmite - I love your blog too - I have to admit to a Friday night that I sat at the screen with SEVERAL glasses (which then = bottles) of red wine, tears streaming down my face one moment, laughing out loud the next. I read and read and read.

  I have to say that it baffles my husband. How I can feel like I have ‘friends’ on the computer……

  I will try what you said and we’ll see what happens. It may end up as something that is more like an impressionist painting that very few will understand.

  “I’m just a round red-headed hobbit.” - Jeanie..

  Really? Cool! I like having second breakfast also… and elevensies.. luncheon.. afternoon tea.. and a pipe full of good ‘ole longbottom leaf (finest weed in the South Farthing) in the evening.. you too?

  (can you tell I’m a total Tolkien wanker?)

  :0 o.mi.goodness! I go to the gym and ….

  First, good move on your part, daveo, for exericising the expletive deleted button. That logger poetry, while eminently satisfying at the moment, really does come back to haunt you.

  Second, Me, I can’t write either. But I did have Sylvan Culp, Russ Joki and Sue Solomon Flammina at CHS so I can get my thoughts out and down. So if I can blog, YOU can blog! I will celebrate my 4th anniversary in June so maybe by then, your blog will be up and running. You know, I nagged Marmitetoastie until she had no choice at all but to get a blog going. Her final argument, after about 6 months of hashing all this out, was that she didn’t have a title. She was telling me this in an email and signed it “so enough of this twaddle. ‘tis everyday rubbish and I have to get up early.” I wrote back and said BOOM! YOU’RE DONE SISTER! That’s your title: ‘Twaddle: Everyday Rubbish’. Get that blog up tomorrow! The rest, of course, is history. And while I do not wish to start anything, I will tell you that from my seat in the stadium, ‘TWADDLE everyday rubbish’ is the most popular, widely read blog of HBO ever. So Me, maybe your title will be something in the area of ‘Just Me’? I’m looking forward to it!

  Cindy, I had to register to vote and register the car. Just too many more forms, I am with you. And what I love about your writing is that when I am bored out of my mind on the airplane and I’ve worrried and worried about everything I possibly can, I pick up the flight magazine, thumb through it, and BAM! There’s your latest piece. I snuggle in to that comfy airline seat, spoon with my inflight pillow and read Cindy. I*love*that.

  Jeannie, I love your blog because like you, it’s sassy. God, that gives me courage.

  So, thanks very much. I am going to nip back into my work now. Good night, what a nasty, pleasurable 15 minutes of fame. (fanning self) (whooo—weee!)

  Jbelle - you have completely inspired me this week and I WILL do it I promise. I don’t promise that it will be much, but I will try for sure.

  As mentioned before I am a LOT shyer in real life then online :D

  Me, give blogging a try. I only got one to see what all the shouting was about and the next thing I knew, I was hooked and have several now.

  My girl Jbelle is authentic and irreverent and just plain fun. We’ve been seen in some of the best places and worst dives just like we appear here, her in her Egyptian princess headgear and me in polka dots.

• 

  Escapee on March 04 at 11:31 p.m.

  (distracted) oh, there’s that ‘Jane Q’ avatar again…(slap) oh, am I anything like my online persona? Well, yes and no. I can’t edit myself in real life, but I can here. Although I prob’ly still don’t make sense…

  marmitetoasty on March 05 at 12:24 a.m.

  Me - I read so many blobs, when I have time, and Im humbled by the content and knowledge and wordmanship of them….. I aint like that, I cant do that, I just type whats in me head about things that have happened in me daily life….

  When I read it back I think its just a load of bollocks LOL….

  JBelle, oh hush will ya, you stop that now…….. your blob has taken me to places in the world that I could only dream of, with your amazing words and photos and your beautiful beautiful heart…..

  But JBelle is right, she did badger me and keep on and on, as did Davieboy after I posted about our Boise Lizard getting stuck behind our radiator LOL…. in the end I thought I would do a blob as maybe a diary thing for me lads when Im dead and gone…. they so dont know half of what I get up to LOL……. so it will be up to JBelle to inform me lads of me diary if anything should happen to me lol….

  JBelle, I was approached yesterday by an illustrator of childrens books with some ideas, and she is after me to write young childrens stories to go with her amazing illustrations…. she read a story I wrote for the infant school years back and when what she is working on came up she thought of me LOL………. I do not know what to do about it yet……
