Today I took a deep breath, and decided to finally "out" myself poly-wise to a friend... a distant-but-special friend, someone that I once practically worshiped. My first love, 25 years ago, although we never did more back then than kiss and write daily letters. She's monogamous and has been married now for 20+ years, so I feared a strong negative reaction. With great trepidation, I wrote her an email over lunch, and sent it... and in her reply tonight, discovered that she'd been reading my LJ and had figured this out long ago. Eep.

This made me giggle a little.
I, too, wonder who reads my LJ who I dont' know about.
I'm not techie enough to know how to check that,.. if it's possible.
I am pretty conservative about what sort of private stuff I post publicly.... but I do have some filters where I discuss wilder stuff.

speaking of which.. I just added you to a couple today.
:)
hope ya don't mind a little extra TMI.

At least it's one of the better potential outing outcomes. (Now there's a phrase I hope I don't have to use often. Outing outcomes. Ugh.)

Hey, that's actually kind of cool. Embarrassing, but cool. :-)

Sorry, that made me laugh.

And I felt so happy tonight when your lovely wife walked in! Next I need to meet you.

Oh, that is wonderful :-)

This is why I use friends filters, however ... even if it means I'm avoiding some nice surprises along the way :-)

Do you think you're going to talk more about this now? You might find her perspective to be very useful, as well as interesting?

You know, although it wasn't the reason I made my journal friends only, one of the reasons I keep it friends-only is because I realized your mother was reading my journal.
