I came to mindsay some time in the spring of 2004, under a different user name - PrincessDyke. I have no idea what actual day or even what month. I just know that it was some time that spring. The girl that I was dating at the time was a member & she would talk incessantly about the writers & all of the fun she was having. I started out as a spectator, but like most of us who were around back then, quickly became addicted. I changed my name a few times at the urging of the aforementioned woman I was dating but when she & I broke up for the final time in 2005, I actually said I was leaving mindsay completely because as dramatic as it may sound, I didn’t want her to have any idea about anything going on in my life.
The problem with that plan was that I had developed a group of friends – people who really care about me & I missed them. So, I came back as bluejeanqueen and have been around ever since. I log in regularly to check on my friends who still post occasionally, but seldom have time to actually write.
The friends I have made here have been an amazing blessing in my life. I’ve only actually met Toplessblogger in person, but I feel closer to many of you in some ways than I do some of the people who I see on a regular basis. You all have seen me through some very happy times & some very dark times. I have watched through pictures as your children have grown. Many of you were there for me every step of the way through my journey with having had gastric bypass surgery & followed me on that journey on my other blog makingchanges . A few of you supported me & Cierra & later on Andreux as we tried to launch comingout . I have read & cried with you all at the good & bad times in your lives, as children have been born & as parents, grandparents & other family members have passed on.
Mindsay holds a special place in my heart. I am so thankful to hear from so many of the old timers. There are some I wish would show up & some I’m glad haven’t thus far…. But I want to take this opportunity to again say thank you to all of you dear, precious people for playing such an instrumental role in my life.
