Thank you. Are we friends on facebook?

I deleted my account because Twitter didn't mean the same to me any more. It started out as a place for me to find weird links, share news items, make some online friends, etc. Then it became somewhere where I linked up with new people in a new city. I went to a few events, met some new people, and had a lot of fun. After a while it became more of a chat feature. A public version of MSN. I vented, shared good news, shared bad news, received awesome support at a really tough point in my life, and had a place online to go when I felt lonely and wanted some company.

By the end I'd considered deleting my account numerous times. It was still all of those things it initally started out as, but eventually it became a place where I felt duty bound to stay friends with people I didn't really want to be friends with, where I often felt uncomfortable about things I was reading, where I was being judged because of things I was doing or people I was spending time with. I started feeling anxious about the level of insight people were having into my life. Something that used to feel safe and friendly didn't feel that way any more.

My leaving Twitter is not due to any person making me want to leave. If that were the case I'd have just blocked and unfollowed. It's not due to any uncomfort I've felt due to any of the bitching that tends to happen when groups of people know too much about each other. It became something that was no longer meeting my needs.

I understand that people are going to take my leaving Twitter to mean something that it doesn't. There isn't anything I can do about that. I appreciate your asking instead of just coming up with your own conclusion.

I have tried to answer this many times but there are many people I live hanging with. if I were to make a list I would end up forgetting to add someone and that may make them sad. So can I simply say that I enjoy the time I spend with all of my friends xx

Quite often they do, but I wouldn't say that is true in every circumstance.

Obviously I'd be upset. It's heartbreaking to think that people are talking about you behind your back. However, it's one of those things that happens in life. You can't be too precious.

Any future messages like this will be deleted unanswered. I don't like to get involved in this kind of childish anonymous bullyong. Grow the fuck up.

Whoever you are, I just want you to thank you and say that you have made me feel very special. I didn't want to post my reply to Twitter because I didn't want people to think I was gloating. But thank you *hugs*

I really don't get involved in formspring much anymore. I actually disabled my account for a while. I don't post asking people to ask me questions. My life is also very vanilla so I'm not controversial. My enemies are few, so trolls aren't really a problem. Anybody is welcome to ask me anything they like though. Either thru formspring or otherwise :)

I love many different kinds of foods but I must admit I have a sweet tooth.

I sing everywhere. Cars are no exception ;)

I don't have a car :(

A picnic in the shade on a sunny day, by a swimming pool/river/lake, with chicken, cheese, wine, fruit

Hmmm that's a hard one. It would have to be something I could eat for breaky, lunch and dinner. That would have to be lasagne I think.

I was in Year 5 when I had my first kiss. His name was Lorenzo Pedros (RIP). He stuck his Tongue in my mouth and I freak out and bit it.

There are quite a few. You being the top of that list *hugs*

I was just "Ally" at school. There is only one person in the world who calls me Allison constantly. I've picked up nicknames from friends as I've gotten older but none that have stuck.

The dishes

Coz they are douchbags!

My favourite memory is of my childhood where we spent lots of time down the South Coast of NSW. So it would smell like camp fire, eucalyptus and beach

Hungry hungry hippo. But my fave game was The Game Of Life
