  Jade - I think it is nice you like us and trust us enough to share your personal life.  :-)

  polar - I love you to bits - thanx for commenting :-)

  I'm sure we all feel the same, I do, but tis fun anyway.

• silverwhisper said on Jul 19, 2007....

  jadestar, that's the beauty of soulcast. :> certainly, i've said more about myself than i ever intended, and you know i tend to be guarded about certain things myself. :>

  i think we are all vulnerable to a certain extent...thanks for always sharing. mamie

• MissMimi said on Jul 19, 2007....

  After I've written certain posts, I always think, what in the world am I thinking revealing such personal things about me and my life?  Sometimes it's easier to talk to anonymous bloggers than it is to confide in a close friend.

• exhibit_c said on Jul 19, 2007....

  Tricky, ain't it. You don't want to lie, you want to share wisdom based on experience, so the true self tends to show. I don't know that if Wife read my blog, she would say gotcha. But if you gave her 100 blogs and said pick out which is mine, she'd get it right, no doubt at all.

• skald said on Jul 19, 2007....

  Good for you. I am happy that you have. 

• carryownwater said on Jul 19, 2007....

  I, too, am curious about what is helpful & healthy about blogging.  I'll be curious to see how the sharing and vulnerability work out for you over time

• the_infernal_optimist said on Jul 19, 2007....

  Eh, I'm a heart-on-my-sleeve, open book sort of gal myself, and so far (knock on wood) it hasn't come back to take a chunk out of my rear (though with the size of that these days, maybe that wouldn't be such a bad thing :-D).
  
  I firmly believe that most people are generally kind to others, and that there is more to be said for taking a chance (not, like, handing over your credit card or posting pics with your real name on them, obviously :-p) and opening up than there is for cautiously waiting at the fringes of a community like this.
  
  I'm glad you've had a positive experience so far. :)

  carryownwater: a lot of people that i read here use this space to figure out things in their lives, a form of light therapy sometimes. :>

• destinydiva said on Jul 19, 2007....

  jade you are lovely. I have had so much fun 'hanging out' with you :-)
  I think it becomes hard not to share stuff about yourself...when your commenting....you can choose not to post about your life...but when your commenting at least in my case...I tend to use parts of my life to show that I really do understand how somebody is feeling..... plus there is such a sense of trust and openess here...everybody bares their souls.... some intentionally ...some without realising....  and it makes you feel safe to do the same....  I realised the same thing about a week ago in a convo with moonriver....  there was not much about my life in my posts...but if you read through my comments and peiced them together you'd have a pretty good insight to me....  I had revealed so much without realizing.... 
  I like that its like that here....   revealing in a jigsaw kinda way :-)
  I missed my calling in life....I was so meant to be a detective or a secret agent!!!  :-)   lol .....  anywayzzzzzzz.....
  you have nothing to be nervous about jade...  you havn't got a mean bone in your body....  your comments that I have come across are always helpful and caring... and you have a great sense of humour :-)  I think your super!
  the jadestar ~ a truly nice gem who's full of fun xx   (not quite as good as your destitute one but meant with the same sincerity :-) xx )

  jade, I am glad you are here, you fit right in.  It is scarey sometimes but there is also a lot of knowledge, love, kindness, understanding, tons of advice, and very little judgements in this big house of SC.

• Suddenrain said on Jul 19, 2007....

  I've found you to be very sweet. :-)

• jadestar said on Jul 20, 2007....

  thanx for all the comments, guys. I read them all when I came in this morning. I swear I wasn't expecting or aiming for such a response. Thank you..............

• hotaka said on Jul 20, 2007....

  Oh, sod off, jadestar. No one really cares how much you revealed about yourself anyway because who are you to any of us anyway?
  
  Ha, Ha! That was all a bit of fun. You should have seen the look on your face when you read that comment. Priceless. Ahh...
  
  Sorry, that was rude of me, wasn't it? I shouldn't be laughing at your expense. But your face was funny.
  

• jadestar said on Jul 20, 2007....

  it's true, though isn't it?

• the_infernal_optimist said on Jul 20, 2007....

  Nah. hotaka's just exercising his warped sense of humor again. ;-) He' s actually quite nice.

  jadestar, you will find that people here really do care. Scary in itself! once you are lured into the quick sand of soulcast there is no escape,just ask how many have tried to leave and yet are still here. Don't worry, I am one of the strange ones here, there are not too many of us!

• silverwhisper said on Jul 20, 2007....

  bad hotaka! bad SC veteran!

• hotaka said on Jul 20, 2007....

  Okay, I admit it. {wipes trout scales from face again} I really went into warp mode for that one. But I wouldn't have done it if I didn't like jadestar. I always tease the people I like. Hey, jade, baby! D'ya want a Hotaka hug? Might just take any kinks out of your back.

• the_infernal_optimist said on Jul 20, 2007....

  I'll take it if she passes up on that..and if you don't smell like trout now. ;-)
  
  ~Infernal
  

• hotaka said on Jul 20, 2007....

  Infernal, I have been smacked with that blasted fish so often recently that I have had to go out and buy a special soap - antipiscine lather. Leaves you smelling clean and fish... I mean fresh, a long, long time after a hefty trout smacking.

  Now, if you'd like one of those patented Hotaka hugs:

  Gnnnnnnhh!

  Oh, wow! Did you hear that? I think your vertebrae are now properly aligned again.

• hotaka said on Jul 20, 2007....

  Great! Just great. I didn't see that coming. Now I have to go out and buy that bloody cephalopod soap too!

  Oh, bugger. There's a tentacle stuck to my left cheek.

• hotaka said on Jul 20, 2007....

  And I think someone oughtta cod-fish clobber silverW. He's getting to be like the gestapo with these darn aquatic critters. Keep him away from the fish market I tell you!

  Think you're funny, eh? How about a tuna tustle? A flounder pounder? An octopus orgy?

  Ugh! No, forget the octopus orgy.

  I don't even have to hit you with this. Just watching you try to say the name is revenge enough.

  Sorry again about the sunfish on D6fer's post. Good night and don't forget to mop the floor before jadestar comes back and sees the mess.
