I got nothin'

[shaftogigsville]

I've decided I don't know what the hell I want to do with LiveJournal any more.

It's that weird line between personal and public, and I'm not sure what side I feel like presenting these days.

Maybe I'll just use it for my "One Life to Live" reviews and episode guide.

It is obviously time to start lying or as the irish call it, "Storytelling."

[shaftogigsville]

I'm only 1/4th Irish. What's it called when you tell quarter-truths?

I just use it however it strikes me on that particular day, some of it personal some of it not, and some stuff that's not... I hardly ever post about my relationship for instance - too busy living in it, I suppose - and I post alot of what I find funny or silly or stuff that just needs to be shared. I like being able to ask folks for advice on here, as well. Of course, all my entries are protected, so I'm not in the public eye save for my profile page.

I hope you keep using it tho, b/c I love seeing you here!

I'll keep it up... I realize that facebook is what's been sucking up most of my social networking energy-bucks. That effing facebook.

Times must be tough when YOU are asking for more pussy.

Sorry, world, but I'm all about the filters. You can have several journals in one by controlling who sees what. I have used LJ as a private journal to track work out progress, finances, etc. I have used it as my own poetry journal (for the folks who want to see that shit). I have a Gig filter for stuff I want to discuss but not on the big bad list. I have a 'tell-all' filter for inflicting only my best friends with my latest mood swings. Etc, etc. If I were you, I'd create at least two filters and have a funny journal and a, oh, I don't know, serious journal?

[shaftogigsville]

Yeah, you know, you're right. I haven't even touched the filters. I suppose that comes with a nice sense of liberation. Or something. I don't know. But I can start with the Sexual Exploits filter, which would contain... um... no one. It's nobody's damn business!!!

(And hey, why aren't I on your poetry list, huh?)

Cats. Allergies. Detailed complaints about common everyday phrases... like, "My boss said, 'Good Morning,' HOW DARE HE! HE HAS TOTALLY FAILED TO RECOGNIZE MY ASPERGER'S SEX CHANGE POLIO WHEAT ALLERGY! And the Government DOES NOTHING!"

SONOFABITCH! You're on to something!!
