Disclaimer Personal Relationships and Privacy

Do not assume that you know everything there is to know about me simply because you read my entries on a regular basis. Any judgements you make will be based on the information I have provided you about myself, which is probably vague, incomplete, etc. Whatever opinion you form on me as a person, or my life as a whole, is probably best kept to yourself. Remember, you are the reader. An obvious exception to this would be if I am asking for advice or opinions.

Never contact me for more details on events or personal information than what I have already provided on the site. Chances are if the information you seek isn't readily available, I have found it too personal, inappropriate to share or just didn't feel like going into detail. If I didn't add something in an entry, why would I take the time to E-Mail you extras? If you are close to me I will eventually tell you privately, so intrusive questions are not necessary, just leave it alone. If you are meant to know, you will.

If you have a real life relationship with me, remember that communication is very important. My blog is none less than a hand-written diary. It is a privilege to be viewing my private thoughts. Like all privileges, viewing my entries can be revoked. If I write about you and you don't appreciate it, remember that I can't read your diary, so take that into consideration. I'm sure that if I had your personal writings at my dispense on a daily basis, I wouldn't be thrilled by some entries. If something I wrote bothered you, let me know, neutrally. Try to remain calm and polite. Take into consideration that you read this information in my diary! All feelings or background on this subject were more than likely left out and thoughts were zooming trough my head. Please note, this is my outlet and I more than likely update when I'm mad about something to get it off my chest. Try not to add fire to the flame by exploding at me. What will it solve? Be a grown up! Try to see if there is a way to resolve the issues and mend whatever problem may have occurred. If that doesn't seem to be possible, stop coming to my site!

If I do not want you reading, stop visiting my site. It is important that as a friend, relative, co-worker or whatever you may be to the me, that your presence at my blog not impede on my ability to express myself. Remember this is my outlet. I may not want you to read certain things I might write about you or others, in order to spare your feelings, avoid drama or maintain privacy. You should respect this and immediately stop visiting. Ex-friends, enemies, boyfriends and estranged family members who have been cut out of my life should refrain from reading my journal. If the relationship has ended, there is no reason you should get daily updates on my life. If you cannot bare to tear yourself away from reading my diary after knowing I don't want you to, you will simply be blocked from entering the site. Do you really need the situation to come to this? Also, never relay any information you gather here to others. If you need to pass on things you read here to people who don't have access to my site, then they obviously don't need to know the details of my life. Here's a simple equation: Blog = Diary = Private; like a secret = No sharing.

Feedback and Initiating Contact

I have a ZonkBoard, leave me a message. Compliments will always be graciously accepted and appreciated. Criticisms and reproaches are fine, if you have a problem with something try to remain constructive and not be an asshole. No one is forcing you to give out your opinions, so if you don't have anything remotely positive to say, it may be best to keep quiet.

When contacting me for the first time, have a clue. If I have a detailed biography and personal information that describes my life from the day I was born, chances are I won't appreciate you wasting my time asking me how old I am or where I live. I put a lot of thought and time into my site, so take the time to read the information I provide you with before you ask for more.

Never assume I owe you any response. I may receive a few to many messages per day. I may gladly write back immediately, or will never reply. Try not to take it personally, chances are it has more to do with my schedule than anything else. If you get upset and nasty about feeling rejected, you will ruin any chances you had of replying, and run the chances of being blocked from viewing my site.

Don't delude yourself into thinking that you will be as important to me as I am to you. Remember, you are peering in on my life, sharing my thoughts, and though I may become quite special to you, you remain a mystery to me. If I am cold or unreceptive to your advances, keep in mind that you are a stranger to me at this point, and I may or may not want to keep it that way. It's entirely my choice.

Don't be a psycho stalker.

I have provided my messenger information. So I am expecting to be contacted. If you weird me out, or I'm just not into you, take a hint and leave me alone. I will block and delete you from my list. If you continue to pester me, you will have yourself reported to the messenger provided.

I have the right to stop writing at any time for any reason. I don't have to justify or explain these reasons to any reader. It's my blog. I can write as much or as little in it as I like. If I do decide to complete stop writing it will be posted. If I am just taking a break, that will be posted too. Be advised that there may be weeks at a time where I will not add a new entry. If I drop of the face of my site, I am dead.

Offensive Language and Materials

The internet is a place that encourages free and creative expression, and as in any environment where people are given this freedom, conflict may arise. If I use language or materials that offend you, leave. Contacting me, demanding I remove the content or change my ways is absurd because you are viewing my content of your own free will by visiting my site. Simply stop coming and you won't have to see whatever it is you don't like about the site. I will never display porn. Nudity may be used in some layouts.

Speaking of layouts. I am creative and can make great layouts. I just don't like spending a lot of time putting them together. So, usually, you will not see anything extravagant. I don't change my layout every couple of eeks. I don't have the patience or the time. I also get very attached to my layouts and hate taking them down due to the time and energy I put into them. Do not tell me it's time for a change. If I feel it is time for a change, you will see them change.

Copyright and Courtesy

Never ask me to make you a layout, help with your site or show you how to do a certain script or graphic effect. There are plenty of tutorials available to help you, just use a search engine to find what you need. The only exception to this is if you want to know how to do something that I have up on my site. I'm all about helping people with things I know how to do. Functions like "right click" and "view source" are disabled to avoid people from stealing my complete layout or graphics.

Never use anything off my site, be it writing, images or html codes. I am very attached to my work and don't usually respond well when others help themselves to it. Copyright is protected by law and in effect the minute something is created, whether I have a © notice or not. There are online tools where you can learn about copyright laws like What is Copyright? and Redistribution In Graphics Has To Stop.

Under no circumstances should you ever direct link anything, this includes link buttons and any other graphics the writer may offer. Direct linking is when you type something like <img src="http://www.yahoo.com/linkbutton.gif"> to display the yahoo link button, instead of actually saving it and uploading it on to your server. It is essentially bandwidth theft, because it uses data transfer, and the owner of the server has to pay for it. Always save the image and upload it to your own server unless I specifically states you can do otherwise.
