Librarian, guardian of democracy, and a lover, not a fighter. Sometimes takes purty pictures.
This just in: I am wearing a skirt.

It was a little too short. I think I need to put it away until I've taken off about 10 pounds.

The day so far: awakened by a wrong number (they were speaking Hindi, I think), checked email, Twitter, and Ff while still in bed. Contemplated going to the gym.

similar to my day so far, only it's noon here.
- jambina
it's noon here too. I've already made pain perdu, cleaned out the flowerbeds for the winter, put away grill and deck furniture, and had my minion mow the lawn for the last time. Parenthood leads to efficiency. I recommend against it ;-)

I'm this close to deleting all of my web properties. I get like this every once in awhile, but this time it feels real and right. Why am I doing this? Why am I creating all of this content? I can't come up with a compelling reason, but maybe I should just walk away. I know from experience that impulsive actions always bite me in the @$$.

Maybe take a 24 hour break before making a decision?
- Katy S
I get that way, too. I almost deleted my FF account this week. I think it's a suicide substitute. If you want me to take your keys, DM me.
- Steve is older than ever
Walking away from the properties for a week--or a month--doesn't cause irreparable damage. Actually deleting them? A lot more final.
- Walt Crawford
Yeah, just leave them be for a while first. You aren't thinking of leaving FF too are you?
- Yolanda
Back them all up in case of a position reversal. No need of throwing it all in the fire without recourse.
- Roney Smith
I'd hate to see you go, C. Maybe back away from the keyboard for a bit? Holler at me if you need to.
- Derrick
I agree with what Derrick said.
- Anika
i'm getting stalked online and I wonder if I should do the same, but I really like the stuff I've made, useless as it may be.

I've crashed and burned accounts before (twitter, vox, plurk, etc) Every once in a while I find myself wishing I'd at least kept the Vox blog entries but then I get over it. I'm not saying this is what you should do. Merely sharing. Take a break from it. If you still feel the same after a week or two, then you'll know that's the right decision for you.
- pea ♥ fierce as a woozle
pea, you're the queen of this! I've had the thought, of course. but I've been online so long that it just feels like a part of me.
- jbrotherlove
J it used to feel like a part of me. Now it feels like a chapter of my life that really wants to be closed.
- cecily
Of course, earlier today I was musing about moving everything over to TypePad, so I'm just being my typical flaky, indecisive self.
- cecily
J, that's because I consider my "real" content to be my blog. I've NEVER and would NEVER delete my blog. If I were to lose that, oh holy hell, I'd have a breakdown. The other stuff? It's like side dishes with a great steak. They'd enhance the meal, but I'd still enjoy the steak without them.
- pea ♥ fierce as a woozle
I did some consolidation at the beginning of October. I really only post to two web identities now (typepad and tumblr) with them all cross-posting to other locations (facebook and friendfeed) in ways that I'm happy with and it feels like I'm running the web instead of the web running me. I just don't have time to keep up with everything on all these different social media destinations...

I don't assume people are interested in what I'm doing. I'm down to blogging when the mood hits, when the words get all tangled in my head and I need to write. That a few folks are sweet enough to take time out of their day to visit my blog(s) is purely a bonus.
- pea ♥ fierce as a woozle
last time I felt that way I consolidated and felt better for a while. don't kill your memories!

Aye... both the loop and the other... maybe reminds of two songs and that is why it is difficult to figure out.
- Michael W. May
The two background parts sounds like something U2... the doot doot part sounds like... Bowie? tickling the Bowie part of my brain at least.
- Michael W. May
A little U2, but something older... much older. And it's killing me that I can't put my finger on it.

Passengers Forced To Pray Before Exiting MARTA Bus - News Story - WSB Atlanta - http://www.wsbtv.com/news...
"ATLANTA -- A MARTA bus driver is on suspension following allegations that he forced passengers to pray before allowing them to exit the bus. Christopher James was one of those passengers. James said, initially, he thought something was wrong when he rang the bell to get off the bus and the door didn’t open. James said the bus driver asked him and three other passengers to join hands in prayer. James said the driver prayed with the group for about four minutes. A MARTA representative told Channel 2 Action News reporter Tom Jones that the transit agency suspended the bus driver, identified as Leroy Matthews, for five days and told him not to proselytize to passengers. Matthews has been with MARTA for six years."

I would have pressed kidnapping charges -- assuming I would have been able to keep myself from kicking open the door, or kicking the bus driver's ass.
