I am totally there for you. I mean, I'm close and totally trustworthy. So long as I can, you know, get a preview.

I think probably nobody is quite what they appear to be, and the trick is to try and live as close on the surface to who you are underneath.

I'm not eager for someone to rummage through my things when I'm gone, but I try to live such that those things would not surprise anybody much; it's much easier to just live without secrets! (Not, I understand, that this is always possible...)

"Pure as the driven snow." Bah. You've driven in snow. Did it look pure to you? Not even.

The BFF gets custody of my computer and all my writing when I die. I trust her implicitly and know that she will get rid of or hide anything that would cause my family distress :D

What if I hide it and then can't find it again?

Microsoft is thinking of you. Bring up Windows Explorer (right click your start button and choose "Explore". Go to "Tools" and then "Folder Options". On the View tab of the dialog box, you will find white box with a bunch of selectable options. One of those options allows you to show hidden files and folders.

Yeah, I know. But, Bill Gates is the richest man in the world. Far be it for us to question him.

HAHAHAH YOU ARE HILARIOUS! WOW!

this is like that one episode of 'the unit' where that one special ops guy dies and then bob goes to clear out his locker and finds his burn box that says DESTROY IF I DIE. bob destroys the contents of the box like a good solider. he didn't even look inside! so if you could like, collect all your secrets and put them in one place and then write instructions on the outside and then tell a few select peeps, maybe you'd be so lucky. and maybe you could, like, password protect or encrypt the New Folder? or go so far as to get an external hard drive, put the secret shame on said HD, and then put the HD in said burn box?

kate - Maybe we need to create a standard blogger rule that, should a blogger disappear without notice for 21 days or more, it is accepted that the blogger has either 1) perished; 2) committed or witnessed a heinous crime and is on the lam; or 3) run off to Fiji and is Living The Dream.

If you disappear - Fiji or whatever - I'll cry. And also come to South Dakota and hunt your ass down.

[f]oxymoron - *laughing* I don't know if they read like my posts. And the pictures? That's more of me than the world needs to see.

malaise - Interesting. "Hidden directory." I knew naught of the hidden directory. What if I hide it and then can't find it again?

brianalt - Why thank you! *grin* And I believe you're right... My parents held a ceremony in the backyard several years ago in which they burned a bunch of letters they had written eachother when my dad was in the military. We, the children, were upset because we wanted to see them. My mother told us, "NO WAY. Those letters were explicit." Way to go mama!

Well now! This has only served to make you all the more interesting!

By the way, you're parents have a naughty streak too and they don't want you to know about it.

2008-08-01T14:31:00.000-04:00

Why does Malaise have to be all practical like that? I mean, seriously. A solution? Hahaha! And agreed. If I am gone from blogging for more than 21 days *without notice* then you can assume I have croaked, am hiding from the law, living it up in Fiji or have gone back to drinking. Only one of which sounds even remotely tempting. (That would be Fiji, in case you were worried....)

2008-08-01T13:40:00.000-04:00

If what you leave behind reads as well as your posts, I think people will be more delighted by your... um... secrets... than disturbed by them.

Or you could just seal everything in water-pressure-proof time capsules, dump them in the ocean, and entertain future generations of highly evolved sea creatures.

2008-08-01T13:36:00.000-04:00

Oh, you make me laugh!!! I was thinking JUST the same thing as I was contemplating rolling over and getting up this morning. I mean, if I croaked, how would the internet know of my demise, since no one I really know, knows about my blog? Would you all just assume that I was on a long, long vacation? And my porn collection? Oh, internets. You are the only ones that know of that. And the journals? Ack.
