I did it. After months of deliberation and internal debate, I finally took the plunge. I suppose I was just waiting for the right time, waiting for a certain level of comfort before I finally did it. But now that that weight has been lifted everything will be better right? Yes, I finally took the next step in this grand experiment I call blogging. I put myself on Kerri’s blogroll.

HA. I suppose it’s a day late for an April Fools joke right?

So I’ve officially informed my parents about my blog. When I first started posting I was mainly doing it for myself. Then slowly I opened up and sought feedback and community. It’s all about growth, I was simply taking my time to make sure that I could fully commit to what I was doing. Eventually I started whoring myself out to twitter in an effort to feed my ego; I spend way too much time analyzing my blog traffic statistics. But through all of this, there was still a big piece missing: Family.

I’ve mentioned my sister a few times, there will be more to come with her graduation coming up. But my parents were the big step. I initially didn’t tell them about this because I didn’t want them to interfere. I sounds cold, but I wanted to be free of having them metaphorically looking over my shoulder, having some kind of impact on what I write. Now that I’m confident that their influence will be minimal at best, it’s time to welcome them to my slice of the Internet.

Hi Mom. Hi Dad.

So this is for them, and for you my eager-reader. Now that my parents are reading, don’t do anything to embarrass yourself.
