I'm sorry to cause hassle for my friends & regular readers. However, at this time I need to have control over who has access to information about my life & that of my boyfriend, and I do not wish to stop conversing with you, nor do I want to resort to censoring myself.

Please contact me ( paz AT worldbeforecolumbus.com ) if I haven't sent you the username/password and you want it - I either thought I had emailed you or didn't want to be presumptious and annoying.

To anyone new to this site: You are welcome to email me for access as well - as I said, I simply need to know who's coming here. Be aware that being hidden behind passwords doesn't mean I'm a super exciting read! ;) All the same, I'd love to hear from you. Feel free to look around the rest of the site.

Thank you for understanding this recent need to be as private as possible in such a public forum. I'm sorry for the inconvenience and I hope you stick around!

I'll happily let you into The World Before Columbus (aka the blog) if you're a nice person who isn't trying to poke into my life for the wrong reasons. contact me for password at PAZ @ WORLDBEFORECOLUMBUS . COM
