Public Domains

A little more than 14 hours ago, I put forth a challenge to myself to be less 'public.'

I did it publically, of course. 

Some may find that ironic, but it's like telling everyone that you're going to quit smoking so THEY can also hold you accountable.

1981.  No joke.  NO, not me :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I immediately turned off Facebook, since that is my primary day-to-day divulging arena (I get a bit spicier here...) but saw from a few emails that I was getting some comments.  Understandably, there was a lack of conviction that I could do it.  Fact is, I'm a blabber!

But in addition, I also got a response saying I WAS a private person...based on the amount of info I left unsaid.

So let's look at this a bit more starting with S. E. X.  (Haha, like I'd start anywhere else!!)

Did you know that out of all of my current Facebook friends, I have been in an non-platonic situation with 4% of them?  Of course you didn't.  I don't kiss and tell.  While I may HINT to having an intimate exploit, you never know if it is truly something that happened or something that came to me in a daydream...that's what makes it fun!  (and no, I'm not saying I did the horizontal mambo with these blokes...'non-platonic' could mean a simple date.) 

Also, if in fact I HAVE had a mind blowing experience, you don't know what Dick, Peter or Johnson I'm talking about. 

If I were to say, "OMG, his EARS were so big!" you'd be able to figure it out.

But here's a fun stat about this 4%...almost universally, the adventure didn't happen BECAUSE we were Facebook friends...

...It wasn't like me sharing that the bus had come five minutes early caused someone to have such an uncontrollable bout of lust that they immediately decided I needed to be taken against the nearest wall...

In a vast majority of the cases, the date or smooch or what-not happened YEARS before Facebook even became popular.  (Told ya, it's been a long drought...)


10 or so years ago, my PD at Extreme Country said, "you need to decide if you are going to live your real life on the air or if you are going to hide behind a character."  Seeing as I'm not a good actress, I chose to stick with what I knew, for better or worse - Jen Marr.  And I've carried that tendency with me.  Can't (won't?) apologize for that!

I don't share because of narcissism or because of the need for attention.  I share because those of you that read this are in my sphere of influence. 

• Perhaps you're parents and can identify with something I'm going through with the boys. 

• Perhaps you're shaking your head at me thinking, "God, at least it's not only me!" 

•  Perhaps you're a bit younger than me and wonder if sex truly DOES get Out-Of-Control-Amazing after the age of 40 (Oh, it does honey.  It REALLY does!).  

• Maybe you're a single male on Facebook and wonder if I'll go out with you even though we've never met (chances are slight).  

•  Maybe I just want to see if I can get a chuckle from someone.

So bear with me.  I can't be bottled up.  With no spouse, boyfriend, significant other, stalker, cabana boy or masseuse in my life, I NEED YOU!

We'll start with some conversation and move to your soul

...eventually :)
