It's the first entry, in the almost-four-year history of this livejournal, for which I've done that. Working for Shakespeare Santa Cruz, I'm realizing that...anything I say in here about the show or the people with whom I'm working could easily be found. Granted, I'm saying all good things. But still.<br /><br />I have always been of the opinion that what I write in here are my thoughts--my personal thoughts, but my thoughts that I'm willing to share--and so I have no reason to be embarrassed by any of them. I don't write stupid things. I don't write about getting drunk (because I don't) or any such idiocy; I write about how beautiful a leaf falling behind a friend's head just as she smiled just so was. So why should I feel the need to hide that?<br /><br />I'm not sure what to do just yet. Most people seem to keep their livejournals friends-only these days, and that's wise. I'm not sure if I feel the need to be wise just yet.<br /><br />(Unfortunately, my better judgment is taking over while I write. I am, hereafter, going friends-only, because my paranoid mind will rest better if I do. I may go back and steadily start locking off the old entries, too, just because I like uniformity in such matters.<br /><br />(I feel cowardly for doing this, even though it's the wiser thing to do.)
