Sharing Is Caring
Posted By Kristabella on July 15, 2008
It is time for Blog Share! Also known as the day when -R- at And You Know What Else wants to get all stabby for even coming up with this idea because I can’t even imagine the work that goes into this. Or it is also known as the day when bloggers all over the world post anonymous blogs on their sites written by fellow Blog Share participants. (The full list of participants is at the end of the post.)
I’m actually participating this time. Which means the anonymous post I wrote is posted on a site somewhere else. In exchange, I’m letting someone post anonymously here.
So please read and comment. Be nice to my guest.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sometimes I wish I had never given out my blog address to anyone I know in real life. Of course it is my own fault; the vision of hundreds of comments pouring in on every post too much for me to resist even if it means I occasionally have to email my own mother to remind her to comment. Still, it would make it so much easier on me if I could always write what I felt like writing. Like, for example, how I sometimes wish I were Hermione Granger because she is smart and cute and HELLO, she is a witch at Hogwarts and fights against the evil Voldemort to save all our hides. But then I would get an email from someone like my sister about how she is just too embarrassed that she is related to me because of how huge a nerd I am and then I would feel kind of silly for admitting it even though it is totally true.
I could also write about the time I peed my pants at a sleepover from laughing too hard when I was in seventh grade and how that bitch Stacy Vernholder that called herself my best friend told the boy I was crushing on about the incident, but then she would probably somehow find my Spacebook page and then my blog and then I would get a nasty email about how I should forgive and forget. And you know what? I don’t care if it was 1992, I AM STILL MAD.
I could write about how I am still waiting for my man to buy me some bling bling and declare his intentions without him freaking out and going into his “I don’t believe in weddings” spiel. Yes, we’ve had this conversation my love, now will you please just shut it and get thee to a diamond store? I would write about how we’ve had the No Weddings discussion many times, how I am in agreement that weddings are dumb but marriage itself is not, and if he wanted, if he asked, I would do it up in City Hall tomorrow and have a party later so that someone can buy me that breadmaker I’ve always wanted.
I could tell the world about how I am a totally selfish jerk because I can’t even imagine having a pet right now, let alone a baby, and I wouldn’t even have to worry about the multitude of phone calls I would take from my mother informing me that my uterus has a shelf life and don’t I care that she has always wanted to be a grandmother? Hold on Mom, there’s a bottle of Shiraz on the other line. Can I call you back?
But see? Now I’ve gone and spilled the beans. That’s what happens when you have the freedom of anonymity. And maybe some of you will guess who wrote this post, but even if you do, at least I won’t have to answer to you in real life and that will make all the difference.

About the author
I don’t know if this will make you feel any better…but one of my girlfriend’s had a #2 accident in her pants on an airplane with NO BATHROOM. But no one told her boyfriend.
Pants’s last blog post..Blog Share
Ah, the joy of being anonymous…I’m not, my family and friends know about and read my blog (though never comment…which freaks me out). Sometimes I wonder what would happen if I started a new, completely anonymous blog…hmmm, something to think about.
xox
heidikins’s last blog post..Now YOU can carry a little heidi on your arm.
I haven’t given out the link to people that I know in real life, but I’m still scared to write about personal stuff. What if they find me? Then I’d feel bad. I think.
your invisible pixie’s last blog post..I just don’t know.
I want to be Hermione Granger too! Not nerdy at all! I totally feel you on family reading your blog business. Mine does too which is why I started a separate anonymous one that I haven’t told anyone about. Its my secret place.
Cara’s last blog post..Bean Look-a-Like Meter
Funny and true! I love Hermione Granger, but one whole side of my family still HATES the Potter stuff because of the evil witchcraft. So I’m right there with you.
Even still, I had the hardest time writing this anonymous post. It was like I lost my voice when I lost my audience. Weird, huh?
citystreams’s last blog post..Teacher for Hire
I would LOVE to be a “harry potteresque” witch. How cool would that be?
Raven’s last blog post..i has ink, let me show you it
Awesome.
I purposely only told a few people I know about my blog, but now my husband has told most of his coworkers about it, which SUCKS. What if I want to express my desire to be Hermione? Indeed.
-R-‘s last blog post..Blog Share III
What a hilarious and awesome confession. I have to say, I wish I knew who this blogger was so I could read her! I don’t THINK I recognize the writing style and she’s hilarious.
Furthermore, I, too, would love to be Hermione Granger.
Laurel’s last blog post..Blog Share III
What a fun idea! Sometimes I reveal more in my comments than I do in my blogs because the family and some friends, I hope, don’t read comments on other people’s blogs. I totally get what your mystery writer wrote.
P.S. I’d love to know who wrote this if anyone knows.
Kristie’s last blog post..I suck at a lot of things, but I suck the most at packing.
I would love to be Hermione, too, but only after she’s been on a makeover show because her hair kills me. Hello? You have magic powers, so howsabout the occasional updo or a layered look to snazzy up that stuffy little uniform?
thecoconutdiaries’s last blog post..Anonymous Blogger Takes Over (Bwaw-ah-ah!)
I wish I would have kept my blog private in my real life as well. I can’t write about everything that I would like to write about and I hate having that limit!
Katie’s last blog post..The Real Reason Jon Married Me
I think it’s fine that you aren’t thinking about children. My in-laws finally gave up on us a couple years ago.
I do have a dog, though.
Corinne’s last blog post..Blue
Reading this post where we do not know you, but you could find out about us is sort of like being in between the FBI witness protection program and going to catholic confessional.
We know what you did, but we dont know if you will tell our neighbors what we did!
Now that being said, I would like to know who you are and go read your blog, it sounds interesting/funny if this is any indication.
LarryLilly’s last blog post..Great, now I am being told I am a woman
I thought I knew who wrote this until I got to the part about not even wanting a pet, because the person I thought wrote this has said she totally wants a dog. I guess that means I won’t be tracking down the boyfriend of the person I thought it was to say “Would you just buy her a diamond already??” 🙂 It’s probably best that way, huh?
Stefanie’s last blog post..Blog Share 3.0
I am right there with ya in the Weddings Are Stupid But Let’s Get Married Anyway department. I hate weddings, he hates weddings, we’re all in agreement. Let’s just go to City Hall. But I think he thinks as soon as he asks, I’m going to turn around and suddenly become girlie and want a wedding. Oy vey.
And there’s nothing wrong with wanting to be Hermione Granger. 🙂
KP’s last blog post..Anthropomorphism is a Hard Word to Spell
What a great idea. I often wish I was anon too because I have to self-censor a lot and I hate doing that.
Are you going tonight?!?!?
Manic Mommy’s last blog post..Reincarnation Anyone?
I often wish that people I know didn’t read my blog. I would love to make fun of some of the guys I’ve dated and/or write about family members but I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. I think I’ll definitely have to do this BlogShare thing next time around!
Allison’s last blog post..Whoever Said Money Can’t Buy Happiness Has Obviously Never Been To Build-A-Bear
I am anonymous but I still censor myself quite a bit in case someone I know finds me someday.
I clearly am not this anonymous poster because when she was peeing her pants in 1992 she was in 7th grade. In 1992 I was about to graduate. From COLLEGE. Crap I’m old.
Sauntering Soul’s last blog post..Time to ‘fess up!
The uterus shelf life comment got me going. Oh, goodness. I understand that too well.
Allie’s last blog post..Tip of the Day – Clear Clutter for Clean Water
Dude, I so hear you on the wedding thing. I wouldn’t mind a small, controlled wedding. Or even eloping to Vegas. Or City Hall. When it comes down to it, I just want to be with him.
Seems simple enough, except to him.
The Muse’s last blog post..Gobbledy-gook
I’m with STefanie, and I still think this is the person she thinks it is. Also, dude, don’t worry abou tthe peeing. Perhaps I say that just to make myself feel better, since I peed my own pants last week. In my defense, I’d had lots of wine and am dieting and therefore have no idea how much wine I can or can’t hold. Still. I am OLD to be doing that.
Lara’s last blog post..Blogshare version 3.0
Sometimes I wish I never gave out my blog address either. And I’m still mad about the time that my sister made me pee my pants.
Noelle’s last blog post..Blogshare
I’m not anonymous and don’t mind that my friends and family know about my blog (and it annoys me that they don’t read it).
I have worked out a subtle way to talk about ex-boyfriends and people who made my life miserable when I was in high school (pretty much the entire school). I just create a fake name and let it go. Because, let’s face it, if you’re going to Google yourself, you usually do it by your name and not by “passed a doctored note around in the attempt to prove that Dana was a lesbian.” Which, now that I think about it, why haven’t I ever posted that story? That’s a good one.
I wish I knew who had written this as well! This was a great post. I completely get the whole not having kids thing. I don’t want children. Fortunately my sister had a kid and also, my mom knows that I would make a rotten mother.
DM’s last blog post..This is before caffeine
Love it! I’m still mad about stuff that happened in 1992 too.
And I’m going to start saying “Shut it and get thee to a diamond store” to my boyfriend every chance I get. I’m sure it will be a big hit.
courtney’s last blog post..Florida? But That’s America’s Wang!
I often wish I hadn’t given out my address either. But my big wish? Is totally that I were Hermione Granger. Hopefully your boyfriend hauls his ass to the bling store SOON!
Nic’s last blog post..What makes you interesting? Audience participation required.
Stacy Vernholder is dead to me. dead. i don’t know her, but i ever meet her. dead. that bitch. you are entitled to still be mad!
michele’s last blog post..Boston Cookie
My friends and my husband know about my blog and while I like them telling me that they liked something I posted or telling me I’m a good writer, it does keep me from saying things that I would have if no one I knew was reading. I think that is why I love commenting on other people’s pages so much. There is a decidedly lower chance that they will see what I have written here.
Sheenah’s last blog post..General Freakout
