I am &#039;on board&#039; with everything and I love it all.  Falling in love is so wonderful, exploring what it means for two people is divine.  Enjoy-enjoy-enjoy.  :-)

Love Gail

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Lola,
First, thanks for commenting.  I&#039;m glad that you like the blog!

Well, in answer to your question, it is really difficult to explain.  I suppose the first thing is that I like writing, a lot.  Secondly, even in real life, I am quite an open person and so, although I wouldn&#039;t necessarily say everything, almost everything I have written I have, probably, already told someone about.  And to me, this is almost impersonal - not real - even if I actually know, in real life, some of the people who read this.

So, with the two things together - they always say write about what you know and that&#039;s what I am doing.

In addition I find it very cathartic and, yes, some of it makes me feel much better.

It is possible to write anonymous blogs - see Supermarket Soap and one that I used to have on here, Italy is Falling - but it is hard to do and far too hard for me.  Sure, I try not to use full names of anyone I know and, recently, used made-up names for the men I have been dating recently but, to be honest, if anyone mentioned here finds this blog, they will be able to tell who they are.

I try and explain, if someone I know wants to have a look, that sometimes these things I write are just the crazy thoughts that flow through my mixed up brain and that they shouldn&#039;t read it as any more than an nuance of my life, since it cannot be everything.

Above all, for me, it&#039;s fun!  And, as an example on the post about the little blue pills - it&#039;s things I feel that people should talk about openly - after all it takes away the stigma or prejudice surrounding this sort of stuff.

I hope I have answered OK and I hope the blog continues to be interesting for you - please tell me if it gets too boring :-)

		<description><![CDATA[Hey,
I read your blog almost daily. I do like it but I wonder why you share intimate thoughts/experiences with your readers (which, perhaps is the main reason I like your blog!).
Don&#039;t get me wrong, I don&#039;t think you shouldn&#039;t do it. I am just wondering why. Does it make you feel better?
I tried several times: I opened many personal blogs and then closed them almost right away &#039;cause was getting too personal and I was afraid of being &quot;caught&quot;.
Apologize, I know it&#039;s off topic...]]></description>
