These are topics that are harder for me to post about.<br \/>\n<!--more This is long, cut for politeness--><br \/>\nYes, we have all the wondrous fluff about &#8220;what pattern would the stripes be on my spotted yak&#8221; tests. We have combating posts about how many posts we&#8217;ve made. Self designed tests to see if people really know who we want them to think we are and of course how many people care.<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t posted in a few days (weeks) seriously for reasons that I&#8217;ll now explain. (I pause while I discover 1 2&#8243; white hair trying to uniquely grow from directly between my right eyebrow and my (new) hairline. I unfortunately, invoke the powers of conservatism and rend this individual away from the great plains of defiance. Pluck)<\/p>\n<p>January has been a transforming month for me. In 1999 I had a transforming year&#8230;It&#8217;s only fitting that this be a transforming month.<\/p>\n<p>I <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/talkread.bml?itemid=18034130\">posted a poll<\/a> a while ago talking about making another journal called <b>&#8220;DarkAndrei<\/b>. This was over a month ago as I was preparing myself for the personal depression that is <i>the holiday season<\/i>. I thought about why I wanted another Journal and in retrospect the answer was quite simple. I didn&#8217;t want to <i>share<\/i> everything with the world. There are things that people in my (ever dynamic) social circle really don&#8217;t need\/want\/have to be subjected to.<\/p>\n<p>Like everyone out there, I have history. I have skeletons, I have horrors. I have night terrors.<\/p>\n<p>Everyday I look for a way to face down one or revel in another. Some of the horrors of my past I have gone on to fix or replace with renewed growth. Some of what I need to write and examine could very well open very old wounds just as the scars seem to actually be fading.<\/p>\n<p>Everyday is a new journey, But at the same time, the miles are already on the odometer and someday you may have to account for how you got there.<\/p>\n<p>I have been spotty with this journal because the words have been so hard to find and the self-consciousness has been far too severe to let me feel free enough to post.<\/p>\n<p>I have created a series of security groups. These are to close certain posts because I don&#8217;t feel they are appropriate to all readers. Some concern sexuality, some concern my philosophy\/religion&#8230;. Some are as mundane as the embarrassing questions about how the human body works. But embarrassing none the less.<\/p>\n<p>I may post very rarely to these groups. Unfortunately, to those who are not LJ members, this means there is no way I can let you into these posts. (I will sponsor memberships to friends that wish to be anonymous) Some of these groups currently have a very small membership. People who don&#8217;t know me very well and aren&#8217;t likely to have an affect; people who know me very well and will only evaluate. Some groups may be missing people who think they should be on the list&#8230;.but in truth&#8230;.this is for me. If you think you or someone should be on one of my lists&#8230;.email me. Otherwise&#8230;don&#8217;t complain&#8230;It really is my life \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not closing myself off. The bulk of what I feel and post will be public. Just the things that I&#8217;m not ready to talk about with everyone&#8230;.that may get&#8230;.limited release in a couple of cities first.<\/p>\n<p>More in a moment.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-198\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2002\/01\/30\/notes-part-1\/?share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-198\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2002\/01\/30\/notes-part-1\/?share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-pinterest-198\" class=\"share-pinterest sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2002\/01\/30\/notes-part-1\/?share=pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Pinterest\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-tumblr sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2002\/01\/30\/notes-part-1\/?share=tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Tumblr\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve come to the conclusion there are some things that I really need to post about.
