Both, I expect. I used to be a pretty open individual, but I can be very wary of people now. Afraid and cautious. That was why it was so extraordinary I felt at home with Rebecca instantly. The Net isn't always a fair reflection of the personality.
You may feel ready to share at some time in the distant future or perhaps in the near future with someone you trust. But I think your instinct to take time to pause is a reasonable one - it's what I'd do.
And I think TJ is remarkable for being able to do otherwise. Just generally remarkable in fact.

TJ has said that he is going to be round mainly on Facebook from now on (why hasn't someone been over here to say there was a new MySpace blog up? Naughty people.). Shame. Cos I am not joining Facebook. Firstly, can't fit another site in timewise, but also, I'm just not into the whole social 'networking' side of things. My sister's a Facebook whore, totally addicted, and son no.1 spends quite a bit of time over there too. I am sorry that I won't be able to see TJ's page. MySpace I can at least view without being a member <<sigh>>
OK Facebooky people. It's now your job to come & tell us what's new with TJ. And if he is visiting there regularly, can you all please make sure to drop him a line and tell him this site will slowly atrophy if his people do not attend to it soon. Mention that our attempts to get in touch have borne no fruit at all. I need to make him aware of this. It'd be a real help if you could pass that on, guys - all of you.

Well, that just figures! I only joined MySpace because T.J. was on MySpace. I read some of the comments posted on his last blog, and many people are saying that Facebook doesn't have as many features as MySpace. So, you Facebook people, what's the draw?
I only joined Facebook a couple of months ago because MySpace went totally dead. On Facebook I found about 50% more people that I knew and could catch up with (people I haven't seen for ten years or even more) and its easier to send a message there instead of writing an email.
I'm a friend of TJ by the way and he always seems to be on there updating his status at least. His latest is "TJ is looking into flights to Thailand" so I guess he's on holiday soon.
TJ has 1,242 friends on Facebook at the minute, but more seem to be added everyday too. He has some personal pics on there and some shots of him on set at Bones too.
Anyone on Facebook who wants to be my friend I'm called: Alan Percival and my profile pic is of me and my little girl with slices of orange in ours mouths
Facebook people, I remind you again - having neither reason nor time to juggle FB with the remainder of my commitments - I'd be really grateful if you could keep us non-members informed of what TJ is saying and doing over there. I can't depend totally on son no.1 for that, he's got enough to do and plenty of his own networking to keep up with.

Oh and something else,how we suppose to find TJ at MySpace with all those posers?ha?!!!!!!!!!
Steph's right, TJ isn't on myspace so often anymore. Maybe once a month or so. I think he is now on facebook more often.

Yes, funny because it wasn't THAT long ago! LOL I made a Myspace page because TJ was on there and he'd allow anyone to be part of his friends list (or whatever it was called in the Myspace days LOL). I joined FB because TJ was on there. I joined Twitter because TJ was on there. I'm such a stalker. HAHAHA

I deleted my myspace page a couple of weeks ago. They changed everything. Most of my things where gone. So I left! Never used it anyway anymore!
