I miss my old blog. I miss posting pictures. I miss all the readers. I miss the regularity of my writing…. and the creativity.
My job is suckin’ out the bone marrow of my blog, you guys.
I think I’m going to move again… use my real name again… and keep my opinions out of it. That was the biggest deal – my politics were all over my old blog and that just wouldn’t fly in my political job. Neither would those pictures of my cleavage girlfriends at the bars.
I want to start fresh with pictures of our wedding planning and our wedding and our honeymoon… and I want to talk about my job without talking about my job. Oh, and I want to post pictures from Vegas. 
I want to write for an audience again instead of letting an audience read what I write for myself.
It’s odd how different your writing can be when you take into account who and what your audience is or isn’t. At first I thought it was liberating, but I’m starting to think it’s not healthy. In my old blog, I’d try to stay positive to keep myself from Debbie Downer Land. Little did I know, without an identity, I AM THE MAYOR of Debbie Downer Land. Keeping a blog with a positive face helped ME stay positive.
This blog has been lovely for the interim and I’ll keep it around. I got too out there with my old blog. Now I’m starting to feel what a new one could become. I’m beginning to see what it is I need from the blogosphere. Bare with my while I feel my way around the dark. I’m still an avid Twitterer, you all know that… now I need to reestablish my place in blog land…. positively.
I’ll start fresh when I know the time is right. Stay tuned.

You will know when its right for you. I don’t think I could go completely underground like you have. I am just more careful about what I post recently.
I am excited to hear more about your wedding! YAY!

*hugs* Let me know if you need anything and be on the lookout for an e-mail from me about wedding things.
I think it’s possible to have that balance between blogging and not bringing the job into it. I need to work on that with mine. Heh. But I cannot wait to see what you come up with next and where your next ‘home’ on the Internet will be..

Sometimes you just know when it’s right to move on. Go where you feel comfortable and happy.

oooh, staying tuned, most definitely.
having ‘too much out there’ was the same reason i quit blogging myself. i still write, but i know how you feel about writing for an audience, it’s a completely different world.
looking foward to seeing where, you end up going

I totally understand. It’s been a struggle for me to find the right balance between being me and not wanting my work to find my blog.

Dude, I feel you on this. I’ve been blogging less and less lately because I sometimes get nervous thinking about how people actually READ what I write now. Isn’t that insane? I look forward to writing on the group blog I’m a part of because I feel less people reading is less pressure. Yeah, I know. How healthy does all of that sound? Oy.

Just wanted to say I MISS YOU!
