It was scary, to be honest. It took me almost a month to write my first comment and when I did it was snide and hostile. Maybe that was self-protective considering the rough and tumble nature of comment threads back then. I suppose it was also a good representation of how I felt in general at that time. Hostile and snide, unhappy in general.
Over time that online attitude changed as I met folks and interacted more regularly. I wrote some diaries; most of them sucked. Then I disappeared back into lurkdom for like 5 years. Lots of things contributed to my Lost Time at Daily Kos. Work, kids, “life” and losing/forgetting my passwords (here and the attached email acct) were the biggest factors, but my internal passions shifted as well. While arguing politics is second nature, my native environment is an Art Studio with dozens of paintings and drawings in active process at any given time. It’s why I went into teaching, so I could be immersed in art even as I danced for my supper. That I am a pretty good dancer was an added luxury. My focus had shifted back to that work and thus ended Act I of my online life at DK.
Act II was a short-lived temp account because I had cracked my password problem, reclaimed bastrop as a username and thus began Act III. That third act is the important one and a big part has been an attempt to integrate my creative offline life with my life at Daily Kos through the use of Photos and Images.
