For some reason the word 'lair' seems to hold negative connotations for many. I'm really not certain as to why. Perhaps it's because the very definition of the word includes "hideaway of a wild animal" and no one quite likes the idea of something so uncivilized.
Regardless of the why and wherefore, I've chosen the title for a much less sinister reason. For one, nothing else along the same idea was available and also because I think the word holds mystery and intrigue. For me it signifies a special place. A place where one's most treasured things are housed; where one can be surrounded by one's own favorites. The internet, of course, makes such a place anything but private. But who, in their heart of hearts, does not wish to share their favorites with others? To do so online lends a sort of anonymity and thus sense of security.
This is all the introduction or information you will get from me. My self, my real self, hides behind this thin film of cyberspace and unashamedly so, I might add. You hide, too, behind that picture of yourself at what you conceive to be your best. So as we both agree to remain unknown to the other, we may proceed.
Live on.
