I'm a lazy blogger.
I read lots of blogs, frequently in awe of posts that are written, posts that detail events/experiences with such clarity and elegance. I'm too lazy for that. I'm not one for coming up with interesting, thought provoking posts. I post about how pissed off I am, my weight loss (or gain) and of course IF. I don't talk about my job because I am concerned that somebody from work is going to find it.
I initially set this blog to invited readers because I was paranoid with a capital "P" that people in my office would find it and read it. The main problem with this is that I feel left out of the IF blogging community. I want to be a part of it but I don't want to be "out there" for all to see. I want to be recognised as a fellow IF but I also want anonymity.
I had a blog before this one but I never had a huge audience. Don't get me wrong, I don't want a huge audience, I don't want to be a popular blogger, I just want to feel part of the community that I anonymously dip into on a daily basis. I feel like I know these people. They are IF Neighbours and I am addicted to reading the next instalments. Reading other blogs allows me to escape from my own fears/hopes/despair, there are success stories that give you hope, tragic events that just knock the stuffing out of you and make you wish you could just meet that person to give them a hug, experiences that you are yet to encounter, hopes that you share and people that you have never met but would love to meet for a glass of wine.
So tonight, tonight I changed the permissions on my blog and I have made a decision to stop sitting on the fence and to start getting more involved with this community.
What does this blog tell you about me? It tells you that I am needy and lazy so please be gentle.

Yay for no password-protection! I was afraid originally too, but I committed to never saying anything on my blog I wouldn't say to someone's face, and that there commitment meant it could be open for anyone to find.Still scary for them to find cuz it's deeply personal at times, but if you've said nothing wrong, there's nothing for them to find:-)
Hello, Sorry I haven't been in for a few posts. But well done on going public! I occasionally go a bit rant-y but its not personal so even if someone I know does stumble across the blog the worst that will happen is they'll read a bit about my sex life ... damn. And as for being lazy, there is more incentive to write when you are getting comments, so good luck!
Hi Chicklet, I have been reading your blog for a long time and it is good to know you have visited mine. I agree, it is kinda scary but exciting at the same time. Especially when you receive comments so you know that people are actually visiting.
WFI, getting comments from you made me want to go public so it's all thanks to you.
hi there,
I followed you back from womb4improvement one time and was disappointed to see it was private.
Well done on being brave enough to go 'public', It can be quite therapeutic.
And don't underestimate the comfort others will gain from just reading your accounts.
All the best.
