[May 17] |
I've just gotten back to my house after almost three days of being away from it. I've been a busy girl. I don't know why I'm sitting down to update my ooc, (because I haven't done it in SO long), but I feel like I have something super important and I hope it's something that other people want to hear or care to know. If not, that's okay too.
I like to update things and check things on my Blackberry but I'm getting rid of my blackberry, probably by August. I don't know if other phones will let me do what I can do on my blackberry (on my old Envy phone, I couldn't log into IJ at all. :( ) But I guess I'll see.
In the meantime, I've also been so busy, and to be completely honest, a lot of RP life hasn't been on my agenda in a long time. I have a few characters that I absolutely adore and I DO want to continue writing. But then when it comes to some other kiddos, I think I'd rather not.
It's not that I don't like them, it's just that I've become busy, and I don't really want to set aside the time for those other characters. Maybe it sounds bad, but it's just the truth. Some of my characters I find more interesting than others, so when I have little to no time left in my day, I think I'd rather spend that time on the interesting ones instead of the non interesting ones.
Long story short, I've been debating dropping a bunch of my characters, for multiple reasons. It makes me sad though, because I don't want people to think that I don't have fun writing with them, or that I no longer want to write with them. I just simply don't have time to spare to a character that I am sort of, kind of, maybe, a little bit, having fun with.
In fact, I barely have time to devote to the characters that I do absolutely adore to the extreme. I've been thinking, and I think I might drop the characters that I just am not in tune with, and maybe just keep a few characters. And then in the future, as my time shifts and I have more time, I can maybe pick up a short PSL if I feel in the mood for writing.
I don't know. I just feel like my schedule is not solid -- it's sporadic. I usually work Tues, Thur, Fri & sometimes Saturdays. I usually have band practice on Wednesdays, Fridays, maybe Saturdays, and Sundays. But there are also only three receptionists at my job, and I'm finding out that when someone is sick or wants time off, I'm the one who has to step in. Which I don't mind, I like making money. But it makes my schedule a bit sporadic.
Then on top of all of that, the band is doing fairly well. We're working on getting more shows, and we even have two more shows lined up right now. And I have tickets to sell for those shows, and it would be easy to sell them if I knew a slew of people in San Diego, but since I don't I have to devote time to figuring out how to put them out there/market them so I can sell some.
Sigh. I'm not sad, don't get me wrong. I love that my music is doing well. I love that I have a job that I really really like. I love that I have a blooming relationship with Tony, and that we get to spend time together on the weekends. What I don't love is feeling like people will be upset with me for dropping characters/dropping storylines.
If I'm completely and openly honest -- I'd rather spend my time on my music and on my work, and hanging out with Tony, then spend it on some of my characters. I have other characters that I think I will always love, and that will always command my attention and those characters I DO want to set aside time for and those characters I DO miss. It's the ones that I don't miss that I feel a bit bad about.
WOW, this got a lot longer than it needed to be. I hope others understand and I hope my entry didn't ruffle any feathers, and since I haven't talked to everyone in so long I hope things are going very well for everyone.

okay so update on cashle.com, i apologize in advance for the spammage, but i just started using this site and it really is legit, yo....
you click on things like advertisements for coupons, or free newsletters, or those quizzes that you take and then they take you to a bunch of offers. the great thing is you don't actually have to sign up for something that you'll need to pay for, or if you do, cashle let's you know before you click on the offer. for example, you can take a quiz, and then click "no" on the ton of offers they try to give you before you "get the results". and you could do what i do, and set up a completely different email account, and use that email account to sign up for these free coupons, free newsletters, etc. that way, I am actually getting cash put into my cashle account, but i don't get the annoying emails everyday.
so far, i've made $5.22 and 50 points, and that's basically from two days. i also took a bunch of surveys which took about 15-20 minutes per survey, but they award the most cash, i think. there are also things that you can complete for 'points', and these points can be used to buy stuff on amazon.com. it's legit, it really works, and i'm sorry for spamming your friends page, but i wanted to put it out there in case anyone else wants to earn a little bit of money here or there.

| music share of the day |
[November 26] |
In January 2009, I decided to start a mission. I was going to listen to all of the music in my itunes. I realized I have a lot of it, and much of it gets downloaded, and then never listened to. I changed that at the start of this year. I am currently on the I's. As I listen, I pick out interesting artists and songs and share a song with everyone on my friend's list, called my "Music Share of the Day". (I know, really original title.) I do this because A) I love to write any sort of article or review, even if it's a super short review of a song on my Itunes, and B) I enjoy sharing swanky music with others.
If you would like to hear about a few artists or bands every once in awhile on your friends page, comment here. I'll add you to a custom friends filter, so that you'll only get posts about music shares. I hope you enjoy!
