monday meanderings

i haven't had much to say here lately. my world revolves around the children and my house and our family events, running errands, reading in between the chaos, watching some movies or tv from dvr.....
so in essence, not a lot.
i haven't had much time to upload photos or peruse the bloggy world. though i do try.
i love this blog and i am not abandoning it. but it seems to have become rather reclusive.
my IRL friends check out this blog to hear my latest thoughts and wanderings....
i've started a private regular journal online, i can edit those items out to share with various friends.
i've never been overly comfortable with everyone in the internet world knowing my business. i've always had an online persona. but it's still me. the profile and who is, all me. i might leave out a few details, but in the end, all me.
does anyone remember mIRC? many years ago, when i first got online, i used to meet friends in these chatrooms and we had such fun. this was when the internet was young, when there was only dial up and my OS was win 95 ;-) i only mention this since back then, everyone had a persona, everyone had a facade. we posted on message board and read the newsgroups and fanfic sites.
and i met made some great friends who lived far away and eventually got to meet them IRL.
it amuses me how times have changed. i do still know most of those friends from that time. and i'm still on the very first listserv / email list i ever subbed to in 1996, though we've moved long past listserv. but many of the same faces/voices are still there, many of whom i have met.
i don't know where this is leading me today....
the passage of time, the opening up of the internet and how things seem to be more public, (facebook comes to mind and real photos on many message boards, so as not to hide behind a false identity)....the internet is more savvy and much more part of everyday life.
