Acting?

Have you ever caught yourself acting differently with one group of people/friends than you do another? I do occassionally. Partly because, one group I've known forever, since high school and they knew me as I was back then. A quiet, extremely shy person. Over the years, I have become a little less shy and more outgoing. But for whatever reason, when I'm with my friends from high school, I find myself reverting somewhat back to that shy person. Not nearly as bad, but not anything like I am at work either. I wonder why I can't just be the same way with both groups. I am working at being more the same with all groups of friends that I know. I wonder

Realizing this made me start thinking about the 'faces' I wear at times. I am a sister, an aunt, a great-aunt, a friend, a co-worker, an employee, a person who collect pop bottle tops because I forget to throw them away (seriously, I find them everywhere!). When dating someone, a girlfriend, to name a few. How do all these titles affect ones behavior and they way they are seen by others? I wonder....

Auspicious Beginnings????

Okay, not an auspicious start for the whole blogging thing. Two weeks since the last post.

Part of it is that I have so much that rambling around in my brain, that I don't know what to right and also that it isof intimidating to put oneself out there. Especially, for me as I am an extremely shy person-a proverbial wall flower at times. I'm not as shy as I used to be but for a shy and private person, its hard to put your thoughts and feelings out for the world to read. I could make it a private blog, but I feel that if I write for me but make it public, who know what could happen, at the very least, someone might be entertained, or something I may say may help someone else feel better or they may just think that it is a load of crap. The main thing for me? A place to write my th0oughts down and maybe figuring out this thing called life. Lofty aspirations maybe but one can dream.

I'm gonna try to be better about it.

I realize that I have no one but myself to be accountable to, but hey, I'm still gonna try.

Deer...

Today, on my way home from window shopping, I saw a momma deer and her baby munching on grass along the side of the road. The reason this seems a bit odd is it inside the city. Granted it was next to a nature preserve of some sort, but it still seems odd to see them pretty calmly munching on grass next to a road. A very cool sight to see though.

Newbie

So, I've been thinking of doing this for a while now (darn, I now have Colbie Calait's song Bubbly in my head-darnit!). Starting a blog. For me, it has always seemed such a daunting thing to do, keeping a journal whether online or on paper. But, I am going to try. I don't know what shape or content it may have...some days more personal, other days more funny. I guess it will be whatever pops into my head to write about.
