That’s fine. I actually didn’t write that script, it came with my blog design. I’ve just never bothered to change it.

Wow. This is the first time my computer has let me actually scroll down far enough to finish your post and get to the comment section. I am completely computer illiterate. Interesting post. I’ve often wondered about Twitter (and Facebook) but thought they’d be too hard to master.

You did a great job! I wish I could have been there to see what you were presenting because I am still clueless about Twitter.

Oh, and we couldn’t expect you to be too much of a feminist, after all, you were speaking at BYU.

Wow. You called me a friend.

I’m glad your talk went well. The podcast sounds great!

Go ahead and talk about yourself all you want.

I want to listen but I’m not hearing any sound! My computer is obviously having issues. I find myself doing the same thing. Whenever Eldon’s not with me I find myself talking about him all the time. Even more than my kids! I think it’s a good thing, though.

I swear you are my sister from another mother. I talk about David during class at least twice during every session – 3 times a week. I like to think that it is because I love him, he’s my best friend, and he’s never far from my mind (not because I’m a freakishly co-dependent wife who relies a bit too heavily on her husband for social contact).

Much like you I have never had a problem speaking in public and have done it countless times with little to no anxiety. However, I am finding as I get older, and as I blog more I am more more comfortable in my own writing. I am gaining confidence that perhaps I don’t entirely suck. And the person’s opinion I value most is David’s (just to come full circle). Perhaps it is because the more you write the better you get or perhaps it is because we’re just older and more secure in ourselves. It is easier to be honest and vulnerable when you no longer need as much outside affirmation. Right?
