The need to be me

Ages ago, I made a post titled State of the Moonion! The gist of that post was that I felt that my lives were converging and I wanted to separate them. I started my blog as a personal one, but peppered it with machinima tips, thoughts, and videos. It started to turn into a place people would go as a resource for machinima info. At that point, I felt paranoid about posting any thoughts on anything else.

I attempted to head this off by creating a portfolio site with the thought of doing more personal blogging on moomoney.net. It didn’t quite turn out that way, though. I ended up tapering off completely as I wrote for Massively and WoW Insider, then later for machinima.com. What I found was that after all that, I still had quite a bit to say.

I’ve decided that I’m going to merge my two lives again. Otherwise, I simply won’t do it. I’ve never pretended to be something else on the internet, so when you speak with me online, you’re getting me. I feel that you should also get all of me on my blog. This doesn’t mean I’ll be posting info on what’s in my purse or telling you random factoids about me. I know that many things should be kept personal. There’s a lot of social commentary I’d like to make, though, and I invite you to read that, or I’ll find a way for you to RSS by tag only if it’s really that big of a deal.

The point is, I miss writing. I miss having a place to share my thoughts on the downturn of Second Life, the upswing of machinima and the AMAZING trends I see with it, and social media in general. I’d love for you to join me in this journey of self discovery!
