I also started this blog so that I could be creative, dramatic, silly, stunning and thought provoking. And some of this blog was purely selfish knowing that I would make someone laugh, cry, mad, happy, or sad. I like being able to control that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then it turned into a place where I could come and chat with my best friend who lived in another state. She even started a blog. It was more like an exchange of daily happenings just in case we weren't able to speak on the phone or catch up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can tell, ALL of my posts have been removed. And as I know this is a public blog, it was meant to be shared with only a few people. It is nearly impossible to search my name and find MY blog. I have never once shared names of those I was writing about knowing that if someone happened by the one in a million chance to stumble upon this blog that they would know that a particular post was written about them. Although it wouldn't have been that tough to figure it out. I took this into consideration when starting this blog know that it could happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I &lt;strong&gt;refuse&lt;/strong&gt; to censor my thoughts, my emotions, my creativity. But, I have to respect that someone has found this site and has taken some offense to it. My blogs have been taken down on this site BUT, I have moved them to another site. Again, I refuse to censor my thoughts. This is my personal diary that I have made public. My site is NO different than any other journal out there. The only difference between my journal and yours is that you get to see mine, you voyeur, you! Fine with me. I knew I was taking the chance. I'm glad I did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please consider that when you read my journal, my words written down are those of immediate gut reactions, spur of the moment thoughts, heartbreaks, and other emotional things. Some of these writings are of pure fiction. I'm not a painter, an athlete, a comedian or even a writer for that matter. I'm just a girl writing in a journal that happens to be public.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If there are things in here you think might be hurtful to someone you know. Please come and speak with me about it before things are said. Yes, this is my journal, my thoughts, laid out there on the line for you to read. But that doesn't mean you have the right to start a chain reaction that could cause a lot of drama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, I will NOT be posting at work any longer, as I know I shouldn't and how rude of me to even think that I have the right to do so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are a regular viewer and I don't know you and you would like to visit my new site please contact me at &lt;a href="mailto:EMPY@aol.com"&gt;EMPY@aol.com&lt;/a&gt;. For all my friends out there that have read this site, thank you. Thank you for letting me share some intense moments with you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, I have a site meter on this blog. I know who has read my blog and I know what city you live in. What's great about my journal is that you get to read about me and my life and I get to check up on you!
