Yeah... while I do like archive sites like 'A Teaspoon and an Open Mind' for their accessibility and search features, Livejournal offers a much more personal facet for the author and readers to interact.

I'm intimidated by pretty much everything that involves writing. I'm sure I'll get their someday, but for the moment, I haven't even conquered my fear of actually posting things. >_>;

Oh, I'm very familiar with squeeing. I squee quite a lot, often nonsensically and in a very high pitched tone of voice. Usually there's seizure-like flailing involved, but it depends on whether or not I'm standing or seated. :P

I really would love to hear your thoughts on some of what I asked and wrote in my first comment when you get a chance, but don't worry about it. I know how busy and hectic life can be. I'm currently taking care of the house while my parents are on vacation, and I'm exhausted just looking after my dog and a puppy we got a few months ago, never mind looking after kids and managing to write as much as you do. XD
