I commend you for writing under your real name. It says a lot about your confidence.

The real reason I didn't use my full name, although I do use my first in my profile and my real picture so I am not completely anonymous, is because I have two teenagers and I don't want to make their lives harder by having their friends and their parents reading about all my crazy shit!! LOL!

Oh, that and I don't want some weirdo to google me and find my address.
