Pause...Unpause

route 66

    I might be getting good at writing these "whoops, I'm back because I forgot about my blog" posts. I don't always mean to just up and stop writing, there's always a reason, even if it's not a good one or perhaps it is several. It's been over a year and I really don't remember why I stopped this time. It usually starts with missing a day due to circumstances beyond my control. Then a week goes by and when I log in, they want my password but I can't be bothered to look where I wrote it down. Then a few weeks go by and I become entrenched in the thought that "who cares really, nobody looks at my blog anyway". And that thought gets deeper and deeper.
   I admit, I dabbled with Tumblr. Seemed easy to post, but there eventually there were too many things I just didn't like about it. Doesn't work well with Twitter. Too much "fandom", not enough thoughtful history(though I found a few really interesting ones to follow, I didn't feel like I was adding much). Lots of followers seem to be porn blogs(?!?).
   I still add and add to Flickr. Not as much "new", more and more "go through old photos and do a better photoshop on them." I've tried taking Lego photos, but I am God-awful at that, and have no creativity whatsoever when it comes to building with Lego. Love the sets and the little figures, no imagination.
  But I still play World of Warcraft. A lot. And I read Twitter, though I don't post there much. I once read that "certain people" post about themselves too much and you should always be using Twitter to talk about others. Uhh, whatever. I'm no narcissist, I mean I'm like the total opposite in that I absolutely HATE myself, but I still like to talk about what things about myself *might* be interesting or weird, just in case there happens to be some other weirdo out there who is just as weird as I am. And occasionally I come across someone who seems to be a kindred spirit and I sort of stalk them because I am way too afraid to actually say "hey I like all those weird things too! Creepy huh?!?"

 So I will go back to posting photos here. I suppose I should go back and finish posting photos from our vacation last year. I'd love to do a 'current and up to date of what I'm doing and seeing blog', but that would mostly consist of me saying "woke up, got kiddo to school, played WoW, picked up kiddo, made dinner, watched tv, went to bed." Every. Damn. Day. No joke.
  I will post photos of things if I do happen to do something interesting. And I will link to Twitter. And I will post old photos. I *am* working on a 30-day project, so I might post those photos. And if you have ANY thoughts or requests or suggestions, please do tell in the comments or on Twitter. I might even post a poll(if I can figure out how) because I might go the old route of "subject of the day" thing (think 'Throwback Thursday', etc). Who knows?!!?

  Some questions...
   Do you want to know more about what cameras(really crappy ones) I have?
   Do you want to know where all I've been?
   Do you want to see really old scanned photos, historic places, or artistic stuff?
   Do you care if there is lots of stuff to read or --post only photos damn it, I ain't got time to read--!

Thanks for reading, everyone only wants to know they are noticed. If we aren't noticed, that's when we cease to exist.
