old posts backup
i have copied and saved my old efx2/efx2blogs posts as well as my old modblog posts. i'm going to be posting them here with the original post dates. so, for those of you who subscribe to the feed for my blog, my apologies in advance for the flurry of posts coming your way over the next few days.
the great deception
i think i have deceived you, dear readers. i know that many people hold things back on their blogs because people in their real lives read them, and i have done the same on occasion. however, the things i hold back aren't things about me. i'm pretty much an open book offline. what i hold back is what i think of the people i think might be reading or things they have done. i have a definite talent when it comes to never letting on when i really don't like people or when they have upset me and the scenario warrants me not telling them that i don't like them/to fuck off. i do it quite a bit in my real life and i do it when i blog about certain people/scenarios as well. however, that is not what i'm referring to.
i feel like i have over-glossed myself on this blog. sure, the layout suits me. it’s pink, which is cutesy. i can definitely be cutesy sometimes. the header suits me. i actually picked each pic to represent a side of my personality. i think that my posts don't always reflect the real me, though. sure, they are my real thoughts/feelings, but i think i have a tendency to tone it down when i blog. i'm far more potty mouthed in real life (side note, i LOVE how that sounds in spanish: mal hablada). i'm also much more sarcastic and much much MUCH more sexual. after reading the responses to my recent post, i realized that the blog world doesn't know that what i said (and how i said it, for that matter) is pretty much my normal self. that got me thinking... why don't i post more like the way i behave? sure, i'm girlie and love all the domestic stuff, but there is this whole other side to me that doesn't seem be reflected here. just a quick glance at this blog (looking at it as an outsider), i'd envision a whole different person than the one that is sitting at this keyboard right now.
have any of you found that you do that and if so, why?
i'm going to make more of an effort to have this blog reflect more of the unfiltered me, so get ready. and if its too sexual, too harsh, too whatever, too fucking bad. :-)

i'm so confused!
now that i am coming out of my blog coma and reading blogs from so many different places, i feel like i'm blogging for the first time again. i feel like peggy sue lost in the big city. there are so many things out there that i have no clue about. i relied on the alerts and standard layouts of modblog and then efx, so i never bothered to learn about anything else. so far, i've learned to tinker with the blogger layout, i have figured out what widgets are, even added some to my blog (as you can see over there to the right).i have mastered the rss feeds and have them all set up in my google reader. i'm loving it.
well then what am i so confused about, you ask? well, dear reader, i'm lost when it comes to the multitude of links to profiles that i see people putting up. i know what del.icio.us is, but that is about the end of it. i signed up for it more for my own personal use to keep bookmarks and have access to them anywhere, but i see people linking to their del.icio.us accounts and a myriad of others. do i need them all? do i link to them all? do i even WANT them all? and what about my youtube account and those sorts of things. why do people link to them? and what on earth is twitter for?
so i ask you, fellow bloggers... what do you use? what do you recommend? talk to me! teach me!
oh, btw, links to my facebook and myspace coming soon! are you ready to see the face of spacey stacey? heaven help us!

ok, so i'm back
efx seems to have died again. even if it is revived, i don't plan to go back. this will be my new blogging home. i will keep my efx account and my new vox account to keep up with old friends, but if i post anything on either blog, it will only be links to posts here.
