"Sharing" time

After reading my initial blog, my attorney suggested that I make it less matter-of-fact and share my real feelings with people. I asked him if he thought I should also put on a gingham skirt and bake the world a batch of cookies. He said seriously, my public image could use a boost, and that I should share my feelings and relate to you potential class-action plaintiffs in a personal way, if I really want to win this case. I've never been much for sharing anything, least of all feelings, but at least I'll be doing it on this internet thing, not adding you to My Circle and calling you about my feelings at all hours of the night.

"Friends," right now I feel angry. Angry that this My Circle thing has been allowed to go on as long as it has. With the trial starting today, however, I feel…slightly less angry. Imagining the prospect of a decisive court victory left me with a strange feeling approaching excitement, but then luckily my 9:30 pill kicked in and that feeling went away.

I have little doubt that this trial will put me through the wringer, running the gamut from angry, to somewhat-less angry, to extremely angry, and all the dramatic shades of emotion in between. Don't worry, though, I'll keep you posted, just as my attorney says you wish to be. You're welcome!
