I have been toying with the idea of using my real name for my blog. I originally didn't use my real name because a) I didn't want internet creepers to know who I really was because you could get a lot of information from my blog and b) I was considering being a writer for the 100 hour board and I wanted to practice, I think.
The first reason still holds up some, but there really aren't that many people that visit my blog, so I am not that worried about it. I could also make my blog private and let the people I know read it.
The second reason died awhile ago. I have long wanted to be a writer of the board, but I have gotten too busy for it and I realized that I mostly wanted to join so that I could be friends with the amazing people that write for the board and I am already working on that.
I guess the real reason why I feel I should us my real name is because I feel a little detached from what I write. It is not that I don't feel responsibility for what I write, I feel like it is less connected to me as a person because I am anonymous.
So, I guess I am writing this because I am curious what those who read my blog think. Any comments, suggestions?
Also, could you leave a comment if you read my blog regularly and plan on continuing. I would like to know in case I decide to make private, I would need to know how to contact everyone.
Thanks and have a great weekend.

I read it.... since you finally told me about it....
Beautiful. I like the part when you say you are often detached from what you write. I often feel the same way: like hand that pens intelligent, witty, clever, and profound statements cannot possibly belong to the same body as my mouth that-more often than not-utters that which is colloquial and un-eloquent.
And you can always go by Hugo.
um, I read it rather irregularly, and I probably don't matter anyway...but it gives me something to do when I'm supposed to be writing a paper :).
