		<description>&lt;b&gt;Steph&lt;/b&gt;, thanks for expanding.  Honestly, I don&#039;t talk about Amy because I don&#039;t feel like it&#039;s my place to - she&#039;s not a blogger or a public figure.</description>

		<description>Well,dammit. Why do I have to explain myself around here? I&#039;m not getting paid, you know?

Britt:  Has the uncanny ability to openly speak..i think that is the writer in her...so she is OPEN.
Adam:  Doesn&#039;t tell too much about his personal life, including a lot about Amy or family, because (and this is my asshole..i mean opinion...) you don&#039;t want to leave the people you love open to criticism or bashing. Therefore you are guarded...and I get that.
Stephanie: Got caught on a previous blog...nothing too controversial...but the bullshit and unnecessary asshattedness that resulted was stupid...therefore: Once Bitten Twice Shy, or GuardedAsAMotherFucker.

Better?</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;Amanda&lt;/b&gt;, someday.

&lt;b&gt;Hello&lt;/b&gt;, I do always go for the funny.  But that&#039;s usually because I&#039;m about the funny 90% of the time.

&lt;b&gt;BE Earl&lt;/b&gt;, did you get a BUI?  Blogging Under the Influence?

&lt;b&gt;Sarah&lt;/b&gt;, that&#039;s a stream of consciousness blogger.  And thanks for listening!

&lt;b&gt;AmyD&lt;/b&gt;, there&#039;s very little that&#039;s not funny, though, so I&#039;m open about it all.

&lt;b&gt;Karl&lt;/b&gt;, if it makes you laugh, it&#039;s fair game!

&lt;b&gt;BB&lt;/b&gt;, oh, I know I&#039;m awesome.  

&lt;b&gt;Britt&lt;/b&gt;, so help me, if you give me sympathy PMS . . .

&lt;b&gt;Turnbaby&lt;/b&gt;, we plan on trying to keep it on topic as close as possible.

&lt;b&gt;Gwen&lt;/b&gt;, even serious issues have funny sides, so I always focus on those.  And you can download the show and listen to it.  You should totally do that!

&lt;b&gt;HG&lt;/b&gt;, I don&#039;t really have &quot;feelings&quot; - nothing really bothers me.

&lt;b&gt;Poppy&lt;/b&gt;, but I&#039;m all about my audience.  I&#039;m an attention whore, remember?

&lt;b&gt;DB&lt;/b&gt;, that counts.  Now have you downloaded and listened to our show yet?

&lt;b&gt;Robin&lt;/b&gt;, so it can&#039;t hurt others?  Damn.

&lt;b&gt;NYCWD&lt;/b&gt;, I blog my feelings on my blog - it&#039;s just that my feeelings are not negative ones, but rather humorous.

&lt;b&gt;Turnbaby&lt;/b&gt;, I don&#039;t ever try to be guarded.

&lt;b&gt;Girl Dislocated&lt;/b&gt;, I hope you enjoy the show if you can listen to it.

&lt;b&gt;Golfwidow&lt;/b&gt;, I also just don&#039;t dwell on those things offline, either.

&lt;b&gt;Poppy&lt;/b&gt;, yeah, there were comments that said that, which made me realize that trying to do that shit didn&#039;t make any sense.

&lt;b&gt;Jen&lt;/b&gt;, well, I can understand some code words. I&#039;d just prefer a fake name so that I can keep it straight.  It&#039;s tough reading about ADHAGELK and AGEEGHDGH went to the JBBBE with HHHHE@#!YO), because it&#039;s all Greek.

&lt;b&gt;Finn&lt;/b&gt;, you have a good excuse.  And it&#039;s not that I keep my guard up otherwise - I just don&#039;t really get depressed or anxious or anything for more than ten minutes in a day.

&lt;b&gt;Blondefabulous&lt;/b&gt;, there are some areas that I don&#039;t feel are the business of the Internet - that&#039;s usually stuff related to my wife, because it&#039;s not my place to talk about her in a public setting.

&lt;b&gt;Misi&lt;/b&gt;, I try to avoid a theme, but I guess that&#039;s true.

&lt;b&gt;Sinister Dan&lt;/b&gt;, masturbation is always funny, which does usually mean embarrassing.

&lt;b&gt;Little LJ&lt;/b&gt;, I just think I have a smaller, colder heart thatn her.  My heart is still on my sleeve - it&#039;s just that there isn&#039;t much there.

&lt;b&gt;Sybil&lt;/b&gt;, I didn&#039;t know that about my blog - I feel privileged now.

&lt;b&gt;Em&lt;/b&gt;, your opinion is very helpful!

&lt;b&gt;Heather&lt;/b&gt;, did you download it and listen, though?

&lt;b&gt;Jay&lt;/b&gt;, I know it&#039;s not hard to find you.  I&#039;m outside your window right now.

&lt;b&gt;TMP&lt;/b&gt;, I just don&#039;t see the point in sharing the other stuff.

&lt;b&gt;Sheila&lt;/b&gt;, I&#039;m not emotional, so I could never be in that Oprah way.

&lt;b&gt;Marty&lt;/b&gt;, that&#039;s true - that&#039;s guarded blogging to some degree.

&lt;b&gt;Asthmagirl&lt;/b&gt;, I&#039;d never close comments in those situations.

&lt;b&gt;MarkAntony&lt;/b&gt;, shut up.

&lt;b&gt;Soapy&lt;/b&gt;, oh, so you&#039;re coming, now?  And yes.

&lt;b&gt;Beth&lt;/b&gt;, I&#039;m just not an emotional person!

&lt;b&gt;Crystal&lt;/b&gt;, I don&#039;t really have fears, though.  Other than being kicked in the testicles by you.

&lt;b&gt;Charlene&lt;/b&gt;, good to hear about your family!

&lt;b&gt;Ok Where Was I&lt;/b&gt;, I always go for the humor, because the rare unfunny stuff just seems boring.

&lt;b&gt;Y2K&lt;/b&gt;, you can ignore that staff member.  She&#039;s a bitch.

&lt;b&gt;Grant&lt;/b&gt;, my credit card number is 1234 5678 9012 3456.  Weird, huh?

&lt;b&gt;Becky&lt;/b&gt;, blogging can make you grow thick skin quickly.

&lt;b&gt;Misi&lt;/b&gt;, actually, that was a retard friend of mine thinking he was funny since Britt had the real troll.

&lt;b&gt;Student Teacher&lt;/b&gt;, I&#039;ll wait with bated breath.

&lt;b&gt;Crystal&lt;/b&gt;, so you were stripping for your uncle?

&lt;b&gt;Stephanie&lt;/b&gt;, merely assigning the labels without explanation doesn&#039;t help.

&lt;b&gt;Mik&lt;/b&gt;, you like naked fat men, clearly.</description>

		<description>As a former blogging camwhore, no one can ever say that I&#039;ve been guarded.  

At least until that time my uncle asked me if I gave family discounts to my members-only area, at which point I stopped posting as many topless shots.  I tend to be a little more guarded about badmouthing my family, since I&#039;ve only started talking to some of them again, but I&#039;m generally pretty open about my life.</description>

		<description>Being very much a newbie to your site, I really haven&#039;t fully formed an opinion as to whether you are an open or guarded blogger. I my thought is, as long as you&#039;re content with what you post, what does it matter what other people think? Keep in mind, even though I can say that, if you were to look at me the wrong way, I just might start to cry.</description>
