rara avis and My Blog Basics

"rara avis" - a friend of mine used it to describe me once. At first I didn't know what to think of it. But turns out I like it.

My Blog Basics

1)I am not an overtly paranoid person (my husband might disagree) but I'd like to make a few requests; If you know me, if we are important to you, then you already know all the names and locations you need to know. I will, therefore, be using initials, just 1st names, or even 'code names' for people I discuss. If you do happen to know the real names or places, I request that you refrain from using them in your comments. Should my friends or family decide to 'out themselves' (by comment or link), then that is their responsibility and BTW they should know what info NOT to put on the internet! **
(T,M& B: add stern look and waiving finger)
2) I promise, I WILL have uncountable grammatical errors. Please ignore them.
3)You are NOT obligated to view, read or ponder my blog. I therefore feel no need to refrain from including things that I would normally never inflict upon you in a normal conversation, like giving boring details of my life, bragging about my children, regularly complaining about 'New Yorkers' and the like.
So, if you are still interested, welcome. -Christine

**you should consider EVERYTHING you put on the internet to be available to EVERYONE and accessible to them FOREVER.
