Things
February 3, 2008 by Anna Aniston
Things are different.
I am slower, mentally. I don’t have enough room in my head for all the things that I used to have time and space for.
I’ve been worried that I don’t have the same mental capacity as I used to. I’m certainly not encouraging myself to get creative. Though I am crocheting, which probably does count as being creative. Maybe I’m being a bit hard on myself by expecting to be purely engaged in being creative and productive.
Meanwhile, my brain is on sex overdrive. My dreams are invaded by tales of handsome young fellows, and Kalypso attends my waking thoughts. I miss him terribly in many ways.
In fact, I miss several people and I’m hardly going out any making new friends. Though I am going out to the gym, which is a brilliant way to spend time.
I did make it, with Kate, to the last ever Rocky Horror Picture Show Audience Participation night at the Greater Union. It was rad. Though, it starts at 11pm, and I didn’t get to actually sleep until about 5am - just because my sleep-wake cycle was disturbed. I meant to go out this evening with S, but fell asleep at 5pm, and woke suddenly at 10:40pm. Bleagh.
My last session with my psychologist went really well. The next one should be interesting - I feel like I’ve broken through some kind of resistance or self-knowledge barrier. More news on that soon.
An important announcement from a fellow blogger, please read and post.
“If” your blog gets marked as a “mature” blog new readers won’t be able to find your new posts via tags or search engines. You’ll be lost to new readership. “Mature” doesn’t mean “bad” it just means not for kids (at the minimum). If you have a suggestion for WordPress to fix this form of censorship you can submit it here:
http://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum.php?id=1
Scroll to the bottom, topic = mature blogs, you fill in the body, tags = mature blogs, and suggestions.
My suggestions were to make it like over at YouTube where they have a page pop up warning of “mature” content, and if you’re still interested, they sign up and say “let me in” and boom, you’re in there.
The other idea is to make it a toggle switch in the dashboard, kind of like what Google has. If you don’t want your results to be filtered, you turn the filter off. It’s as easy as that.
If you have any better ideas, let them know, or feel free to copy and paste my idea, and send it to WordPress, or just tell them “something” should be done. The point is, the more people they hear from, the better it will be for everyone, bloggers and readers alike.
Thank you for your time, and I hope your cooperatioin.
