And I’m sorry about that.
You see, I, uh, have been toying around with other ways to communicate.
Twitter.
Facebook.

And they’re sooooo goooood. At first. Then I get overwhelmed. It all happens so fast. I don’t even have that many friends and I can’t keep up with all the requests and gifts and photos. It’s not that I don’t appreciate them…I DO, but…well, honestly, it’s a little more commitment than I’m looking for.

The best thing about Facebook, WordPress, is that I can quickly scan the happenings of my circle. I like that. There was a time when I had a blog reading routine – I read the same 8 or 10 blogs in the same order every day. Every once in a while I’d throw a new one in, and every once in a while I’d mourn when a daily read withered away. Facebook is similar to that. I’m keeping tabs, but much MUCH faster. And much MUCH less content. But somehow, it take MORE time.

Honestly, I miss the daily blog posts. Oh, I know they are still there, but for several months I’ve had to ignore them while I waded around in Facebook (the Twitter fascination didn’t last long with me…). See, there is a very finite amount of time I have online. This is very different from years past when I could leave my computer on 24/7 and hover around it for hours on end. Now there are things like kitchen remodeling (oh, you can bet there’s a few choice blog posts in THAT experience), and jobs and cats that throw up alot that demand my time.

And yes, the little time that’s left has been focused on areas other than my blog.

Even writing this post seems weird. Fashion moves so fast. Is it totally uncool of me to be posting several hundred self-centered words (300 to this point). Do I really expect that there is anyone left who has the time or the inclination to read more than a 40 word blurb that was written less than 15 minutes ago?

Part of my return to you, WordPress, is the anonymity. There is no VIM in my Facebook world. There is no kitchen remodeling. There are no cats. There is no place for me to vent and bitch and simply just journal and record the everyday mundane.

Thanks for still being here for me, WordPress.
