Post posting remorse, or I just feel like writing; hard to say

First,it is quite difficult to know what the nature of this thing here should be. It is read exclusively, with a few random exceptions, by friends and family--however it is public domain. J. has told me that I could switch it over to another blogging service that would allow me to pick and choose who among you gets to see and read what. Thus, I could post picture of myself and her and not have to worry about protecting privacy and all of that. That may be the route to go. I'll be considering it.

On the other hand, it's easy to get the impression on my end that no one aside from two to three people ever reads this, and so what is the point of switching to a different format? And, if I stay here, you can be assured that what you read and view is what everyone else is reading and viewing and the only censor is my judgement at the moment I hit the publish button. Also, I googled this site to find that J's Street Kids post was picked up by an Indonesian blog that concentrates only on that subject, and so that was sort of cool.

I have been working like crazy the last few days and it seems to give me more energy. I am writing exams and should be doing that now but I have a class soon and need a break, so here I am writing. About the previous post, it was a difficult to decision to bring up Islam in such a public forum, but I have to admit that I didn't know how to tell everyone I know, who may not know much about the religion aside from the misinformation so prevalent at home, about this decision. At the same time, I don't want to be accused of not giving the people I know and care about enough credit for being tolerant and understanding. I am happy to talk about it privately with anyone who wishes to engage in such a conversation, but for me it was a difficult thing to have to repeat over and over, so I blogged it, for better or worse. I hope that you will comment (even more than I usually hope people will comment).
