Bloggers Who Give It All Away
I enjoyed the posting at A VC regarding the transparency of posting online in a blog. Some of the people I've met in life who take the most physical risks tend to use that to hide the core of who they are as an emotional, intellectual being. They seem at first to be open to anything, but when you share yourself from the inside they recoil and can't participate or even accept such an idea as real. Blogging is a nice way of getting away from that whole idea, and it celebrates some of who we really are. And each person who blogs is here because he or she wants to be.
The first postings may be scary, but once you let go, something else happens. You realize that, somewhere along the way in putting yourself on the line, and in giving up control of who reads what you write, you've gained a new sense of peace and power.

Legolas Revisited
Anne finally inserted into a previous entry a great picture of her in the Legolas costume she wore at Halloween. (scroll down on page for picture) Very impressive, Anne!

NPD
This is an interesting persepective from someone who actually has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I'm fairly certain I know someone who has this. We probably all do, or have at least met someone who does. I thought the author's perspective on it being tough to overcome was sadly negative. Maybe there is hope down the road.
