See, I always feel like shit if I censor myself--so right now, I am feeling rather poorly about myself--as if I should defiantly re-instate each and every entry.  It's not like I'm forcing anyone to read it, after all.  So if they choose to read it and then cannot accept me for who I am, then why should I care?  Why should I care about the validation or approval of those who disapprove of me?  I'm just being myself.

Thank you for commenting, Scarlet_S.  I certainly appreciate your continued readership.  I think you're one of my longest standng readers!

But I'm feeling flustered about the state of my poor dear blog.  Alas, alas!

yes, you do have to change the status of each and every entry...tedious, indeed.

I did it myself and it literally took hours.  I got into a groove while doing it and went into zombie mode.  I, too, went private/protected due to family members finding me out and feeling uncomfortable with what they might read...and read into.

I appreciate everyone'e remarks ever so.

RickardLaSuede, I'm not sure what you mean by 'the parts behind the scenes', but let me know if you wish to be added to my list.

hey, i'd like to be added to the list.  i never leave props, but i regularly check your site, and am subscribed to you.  i guess there's no other way to put it than that i'm just interested in what you have to say, in the poems, and the pictures.  i love the bizarre imagery, anyway i hope i'll be able to read your new posts....

Hi there, silver.  You're already on my Protected List actually, since you're one of my subscribers--so I have no idea why you wouldn't be able to see the latest posts.  I even doublechecked my list and you're definitely on there.  Hmmm...  Could it have something to do with your xanga settings perhaps?

I appreciate your interest.

Hi yourself.  I shall add you.  Is that you, R?

Hi Candy, I only saw your site a few months ago so I'm quite new to everything. I've never commented before but I enjoy what you have to say and how you say it. There's no bull s**t on here and I like that......so do I get to be on your lovely list?....

wert. i desire to know qwerty, i desire to know why and desire to know answers. not to any particular questions, but your answers. to anything at all.

this is not just out of pure selfishness but also out of curiosity (which is selfishness is a mere byproduct, or the otherway around?)

i enjoy what you write, even if my silly comments are scarce. please?

sexy sexy thing, you're sexy. you're sooooooo sexy!

you're sexy!
