I've recently joined a social networking group called Heathen Homeschoolers. I am SO stinking awful at social networking online. I think I suffer from some deep seeded inferiority complex when I can't see the people I'm interacting with. I can't check their facial expressions or hear their voice inflections. I always fear that people are thinking, "WHO does she think SHE is?"
That's just ridiculous really, but it's the sad truth. I've shied away from such things in the past, so now I'm scrambling trying to figure our exactly how to do this thing. Do I make friend requests? Do I spruce up my page? If I do decide to spruce up my page, exactly how is that done? That's just way too much angst for me to go through for something that is "social."
Please feel free to stop over and join me as I muddle through this new little beginning. The link is in my sidebar. I'll be your friend if you'll be mine.

In my opinion, you are easy to like :-) Sorry I can't say I'm a heathen anymore and so join you in the HH ring, but will you admit an ex-witch Christian into your circle? :-)
Thanks so much, Patience. You are welcome in my circle anytime.
BTW, the name of the group IS a bit disconcerting, but it's basically a secular/inclusive homeschoolers group. Religious folks are welcome. In fact there is even a sub-group for religion. I think (though I'm not sure) that it is an attempt to welcome those who feel uncomfortable or have been excluded (due to statements of faith) from some fundamentalist christian groups.
Heathen? Nothing wrong with that!
Anyhow, I get what you mean about not seeing faces. It sort of helps to see who you are "talking" to!
Hey, Wendy. Nothing wrong, indeed. The name just cracks me up, but I do love a good tongue in cheek label. ;-)
Heathen? Why..yes..I think it "fits" me more than some other labels.
