...And of course they're absolutely right. (By 'they' I mean the fantastically wonderful Essrayle and Kya who commented on my last entry.) I spoke with Her yesterday morning, before work and she understood completely where I was coming from. Score one for honest, open communication! Some things are just important in a relationship, as was mentioned by the above fantastic subscribers. To answer a question posted before--No, hon. She doesn't know this name exists; she never has, and I'm kinda grateful for that and would prefer to keep it that way, with her familiar only with the other one. It's not that I WANT to keep secrets, believe me; it's just that thinking about someone reading my writings and being made to panic or go all alarmed about them--which has happened with LJ, which is why I don't use mine much these days--makes me anxious and less able to express how I feel.

This alias is one I share with very few if any people who can identify me personally. You know my 'common' name, Ess, and me going by this one is something I tend to do when my thoughts are less, say, family friendly or appropriate or societally acceptable given my living arrangements. I also know that FA is hardly always... ahem... for children, and though none live here, this comp is in a rather public room, so I only access it fairly late when I'm sure few people are about. I also got this account on the off chance I own a scanner one day--I like to sketch, though right now I'm lousy at it; hopefully some day my art will be putting on here.
