Through my once eyebrow-deep interest in World of Warcraft – yes, I was that immersed – I heard about a little series of videos being made called The Guild. Imagine a sitcom, but it’s only available on the internet, and it’s not about some cranky doctor or divorced women. It’s a spoof on gamers and gaming, most specifically Warcraft players. I was hooked after the first episode. ROFL can’t even come close.

The brains behind the operation turns out to be an actress named Felicia Day. Maybe you saw her in the TV series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer? I am probably one of the few people to not ever have seen that show, but from her work on The Guild, I was interested enough to click over to her blog. She calls it — The Flog.

She’s spicy and fun, we like the same kinds of books, and although I can’t nearly substantiate the claim on geek that she can, I find her a fun, always entertaining and nicely surprisingly inspirational read. Check her out sometime.

All that background to say this…

I felt a bit guilty when I read one of her recent posts in which she asks her readers what they wanted to hear her write about in ’08. The reason being that she didn’t want her blog to “be an online journal complaining about the wrongs my mother did to me as a child.” Which is when it dawned on me that I write exactly that sort of blog. Oops.

My secret place and journal, not caring too much about readers, but searching for my own sanity and restoration and balance and action in life by being as honest as I can with myself in print and for everyone to see.

It really was a huge deal for me to even put the address of BC on my Facebook profile. I’m sure most friends and family haven’t noticed it hidden among my contact information. But simply the fact that it is available to them makes this place for me a place to say things that I never before considered saying aloud, but that one day I hope to be free enough to say aloud.

Ah, navel gazing. How I love thee.
*blush*
Guess Felicia won’t be over here anytime soon.
