This is new.
I’m checking this morning to see who’s up and about at OMG 5 in the morning and I noticed my last blog title had linked to messenger.
I don’t remember THAT happening before.
I know that Yahoo uses WordPress (as does CNN and I Can Haz Cheezburger) but now I’m wondering if this is the blogging platform they are/were planning on using with their ‘universal portal’.
Meanwhile, it’s a little disconcerting to find that a blog that I had as ‘mostly’ private — well not broadcasted anyway — is linked in odd places. I haven’t put things out here that cannot be read by the public. I learned my lessons back on Y360 and that’s why it’s been mostly friends only. However, I was enjoying the fact that not quite as many people knew about this blog.
Wandering down that thought path, a friend of mine from Multiply stated she didn’t understand why anyone would blog just for themselves and not expect feedback. It’s odd – perhaps I’m selfish, I don’t know — but I actually like having this blog that just throws my thoughts out there without worrying about who is reading and writing for potential readers. This one has mostly been for me since the beginning (much as Anonymous Spaghetti has been for Harold) and while I don’t discourage comments, the very fact that it’s not widely published keeps the comments down. If I whine I whine. If I’m boring I’m boring. It’s rather nice that way.
Later today I’m doing a review on Ruby Tuesdays. I’m rather looking forward to the fact I doubt I’ll have a comment saying “OMG how can you say that that place ROCKZ gurlfriend”.
::shudder::
So … now I’m wondering how I can UN link this silly thing from YIM. I’m feeling rather exposed and not in a good way …
…definitely not in the walking naked through the park on a warm summer’s night dream way

I took the photo above July 2007 during the annual Don Pablos party, come watch the fireworks, here in Laurel. The composition tickled me. I blame the margaritas. Either way, this year they’re doing the Laurel fireworks on my birthday and I already have a hot date in Baltimore with the hubby. They’ll have to continue on without me ….
