This Lezzy Lives by a Code
Since I’ve started Card Carrying Lesbian I’ve been surprised and a little hurt when a friend here or there would confide something in me and then right away, almost out of fright beg, “Oh gawd, please don’t blog about this!!!”
Well I wanted to set the record straight about what I consider off limits. Consider this my code of ethics for blogging:
- I will never write about, exploit or expose any of my friends personal lives. At all. Period.
- I will never disclose the true identity behind people’s pseudonyms to others unless I have permission from said person. So feel free to comment, secure in your anonymity.
- Whatever you tell me about your personal life will stay private. Unless you specifically tell me or ask me to write about it.
What will I blog about?
- Well of course during the course of a fun evening out with my girls, someone is bound to say something that starts the wheels turning and the next thing you know, I have a topic to write about. But getting a general topic from conversation is very different from straight up publishing the lives of my friends. I will never ever do that. Unless they ask me too … and then it better be good.
- I will write about my own past but I will always change the names and a few identifying markers to help insure the person stays anonymous.
- I may blog about my own sex life, disastrous dates, jerky things I do, or embarrassing moments. But once again, I will not ever publicly name any of the people involved in my shenanigans.
So if you know me in real life … please rest assured: Your secrets are safe with me … as they always have been and always will be.
Just in case I wasn’t clear: I do blog about things that stem from my own experience. But I do not publicly out people or their stupid behavior by naming them. Yes it’s true, if some of my ex’s read this blog, they can figure out who they are. But no one else can.
Yes my friends can figure out who they are, but like I said, I don’t publish their real names. Not to mention, a couple of them LOVE being the topic of water cooler jabber, so I never get any complaints from them.
So basically I’m just saying: Chill the eff out …. chances are pretty good I won’t blog about you and even if I did, no one would know it, unless you told them, “Hey you know that crazy bitch Sasha just boned on CCL??? THAT’S ME!!!!”
Alrighty then.
