(My sister asked me just the other day what I meant by “BTW”–it becomes a convenient shorthand to use for “by the way” and one can be inconsiderate with such usage.)
But, by the way, I just wanted to say that, even though I made a big announcement a couple of months ago that I was going to abandon xanga and move my blogging to WordPress, I am still over at xanga–for some things.
I do my more reflective, “serious” blogging here. Xanga posts tend to be reserved for more diary-type entries–pictures of the granddaughter’s first trip to the zoo are the current post as I write this– and things like my efforts at the Poetry 2008 Challenge I picked up through another xangabuddy. But, then again, sometimes the content between blogs is rather fluid. I don’t mind it–it’s all me. I hope you don’t mind it, either.

Does anybody else who reads here have multiple blogs going? How do you manage them?
(My husband told me the other day that there was a large segment of content at a lecture he attended recently that focused on the truly “split personality” that some people are developing in the context of social networking. There are people who live entirely fictional ”virtual lives” through their blogs, not with harmful intent, but simply because they can. I certify to you that both of my blogs are really me–I’ll label fiction as such anytime I write it.)
I/we can attent to your real-ness. Nothing fictional about you or the things you write about. BTW, we all loved the pics of Melanie. Thanks for sharing, and yes, we look at Xanga, too. nancy
I considered writing one of those role-playing blogs once. One of my best friends from high school was trying to convince me since I was already wasting away much of my time on the internet. I had it all set up and everything, but just before I was about to join the “community,” I decided not to because I just didn’t have a peace about doing something like that. Now that I see how little time that friend has for her own real life, I’m glad I didn’t join.
And for the record, I can’t stand when people use BTW, LOL, ROTFL, LMAO, etc. I’d rather people just write it out. But that’s just me.
Erin, I’ll try to remember–no short hand with Erin!
Nancy, Good to hear from you and I’m glad you stay connected by this means!
