Freak Snow Storm...

[spiritcougar]

They can't predict the weather even hours out -- as proven by the 6 inches plus of snow I just shoveled off the driveway when forecasters stated a few hours earlier we wouldn't get more than an inch. So much for global warming. Oh wait, I forgot -- all the snow and cold this year just proves how much "climate change" is affecting our weather

I tend to use wordpress.com these days and you may want to check it out. I'm as confused as the next when it comes to what should be posted where and I'm often annoyed that I'd worry about what others might think of my writings. I've got a pile of journals actually, some of which are strictly private and others that I keep open and anonymous.

Cool, I'll have to check out wordpress. I do the private journal entry thing, too. I guess sometimes it just seems funny to post something private like that on the net.

I'm glad you got home okay!

I second sevian about Wordpress. It's easy to use, it has a lot of customization if you want it, and it can be password-protected if you want it to be. You can also make static pages.

Still, I feel the need to write, and what good is it to work on writing something unless it is read?

Some things need to simply be written; being read by anyone, including yourself at a later date, is nice but unnecessary. Personally, if I don't write some things out - even if I lock them away and never look at them again - they'll stay in my head, festering and cycloning until I get far too immersed in whatever the thought/idea/emotion is, and I lose my clarity and ability to be objective. I say write when you need to, what you need to, and consider only after the fact whom you might want to show.

If you need any help with Wordpress, let me know - I'd be happy to help. I can also design you a spiffy custom theme. (Proof.)

Thanks! I'm like that, too -- there are times when I just have to write some things out. I sometimes scribble frustrated thoughts that need an outlet down on notebook paper. I've also found that burning unwanted negative thoughts can feel cleansing in a way.

Hey there! Good to hear from you, too. :)

I think I may continue (or start again) using LJ for personal updates and staying in touch with friends, and look into another site like wordpress for opinion pieces, articles, and stories.
