She lacks a certain..je ne sais quo

I have been encouraged to write directly and succinctly as possible when I write as a part of my profession. I can't say that I always accomplish this goal, but having to write in this fashion has made me incapable of double entendres, subtlety, and veiled intimations. So when I want to write about something and make it absolutely non-obvious, I struggle a bit. I'm caught between wanting to blog about things that affect me personally and not wanting to reveal exactly who I am. Sure, pictures of family and general posts about life are fine, but there's more to me than just that. I have a job that gives me purpose and pain. I have secret inappropriate crushes on men besides Conan. I have people in my life that I love. I have people in my life that I hate. I have pictures of myself--not many because I'm behind the camera these days--that I wouldn't mind posting.

I want to write about these things because they are a part of my life. I want to talk here about the people and things that constitute the fabric of my day because it's a great, worn, comfortable quilt. But I can't because I need to remain anonymous. Sure, I can password protect, but what fun is that? Everyone strives to write poignant, inspiring posts so that perhaps someday someone will stumble across their blogs and be inspired, elated, or humoured. Is that fair? What's the key?

And why is there only one Chick-fil-a in the entire Kansas City area?
