Who am I?

I’m Sal – Just Sal

Some people ask why I don’t blog under my ‘real name’? The answer to that is I kind of do…..  My name is actually Sally…. So ‘Sal’ is a shortened preferred title for me. However, I know what they are referring to, why I don’t post under my ‘real name’ aka my surname.

I thought about it recently – about blogging under my real name, after all I am a writer. I want to eventually be published under my real name, so why not blog under it.

I guess blogging as ‘Justsal’  (Along with tweeting) allows me express my views autonomously. (Note the spelling… autonomous – NOT anonymous! Two completely different meanings there) I’m not anonymous. I don’t ‘hide’ behind the internet spouting thoughts on stuff with the protection of anonymity. I am happy to say anything I post on here to someone’s face. Most of the things I post have generally occurred with someone as a conversation, or the posts are literally ‘just my thoughts’ on a variety of things.

I love to write and this is one of a few outlets that allows me to write independently. I’m not bringing attention onto my family name this way, not allowing what I write here to be used as ammunition against someone I love. What it comes down to is that. I don’t want my family to be judged on my thoughts and ideas. THAT is why I don’t use my surname in my blog.

When the time comes to reveal my ‘real name’ then I will – mostly so you will all buy my book :P In the meantime, I’m happy to blog under my first name Sal NOT Sally!

Sorry if I’ve disappointed any of you for not revealing the ‘real me'.

That’s all I’ve got.

Post # 14 - Who are you?

I got an e-mail today asking me ‘who are you?’ It was someone I’ve not got an e-mail from before, however that was it - The subject was I've seen your blog. The body was simply 'Who are you?' – so I replied I’m Sal. Who are you?

I’ve not got a reply back yet, though if it was some spamming thing needing me to reply to it to send my e-mail address off into the world of spamville then my e-mail address has probably just been sent to every Viagra spam site available. I always seem to get the Viagra spam which I have no use for as I haven’t got a penis! Anyway the random e-mail question made me think. So here is some useless information about me – without really giving anything away.

Name: Sal
Gender: Female
Resides: Australia
Height: 5’5” (Go easy on the short jokes!)
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Short and dark brown.
Tattoos: Right ankle and down my right calf. (Want more though!)
Likes: Writing, music, movies, books, photography, cups of tea, chocolate biscuits, the colour blue, Doctor Who and Sci-fi in general.
Dislikes: Stalkers, liars, a few of my ex-girlfriends, homophobic people, people who don’t know what an indicator light on their car is for, rudeness, spitting, grocery shopping.
Favourite Possession: My boxer dog (See profile pic)

Does that little list kind of qualify for ‘who am I?’ Either way there’s a little insight into the world known as ‘Just Sal’

That’s all I’ve got.
