Moving Day

Hey there ladies and gents! I’ve successfully arranged the move from here over to cupcakenation, so from now on, all new posts will be going up over there. I’ll  leave this page up for a couple of months to catch my *ahem* less frequent readers, and then it will either go down or go all private. Don’t worry, all the archives are up over at cupcakenation as well.

Update your feed readers, and keep your eyes on the cupcakenation main page, as there are a few more changes to come….

moving and shaking

As you all probably know, I have my own personal website, CupcakeNation. It’s been sitting pretty quiet for the last year, but since I recently had a little bit of a hacker incident, I’ve been thinking I should bring it back to life, and maybe head off in a new direction.

I’ve also been blogging on and off for quite a few years (more than you can read here, actually, since I have a livejournal I never imported). Now, when I started, it was very very important to my 16 year old self that my parents never read my blog. In recent years, this has become less and less important to me, although I’ve never advertized the existance of the garden to my parental units.

Now that I’m thinking about what should go up on cupcakenation, I’m also wondering if part of that should be this blog. I know (Anna) that some of you might not want to have links to you up in a place where my parents, should they ever remember my stagnant site, might end up. I’m also just not sure myself. What do you all think?

I don’t think that cupcakenation would BECOME this blog, since I’m pretty attached to having a place I can play around with web design without having to deal with blog templates, but I might end up with something like a splash page with links to various places or subdomains, one of which might be this blog. I just have so many things going on on the internet right now, that I think I either need some sort of clear other thing to be doing at cupcakenation, or I need to bring some of what I’ve got going on over there.

Here are some of the things that might end up linked in to cupcakenation:

Muxtape

Flickr

Tumblr

last.fm

Twitter (which I pretty much don’t use)

I just…I am very undecided. Internet privacy, why you so scary?

turtles

I am writing a poem in which the word turtle appears 12 times so far. I am quite proud of this fact. Of course, it’s also 1:55 am, so pretty much everything feels like a good idea right now. You could probably convince me that I should write a poem about rocks. Actually, this kind of is a poem about rocks.

Man, this is a great poem.

an important conversation about pants

I had this conversation with myself this morning:

Self, your pants are on inside out.
No they’re not, they’re perfect, I love them like this.
Yes they are. Look at the waist band.
But it folds over! It’s fine!
But where is the drawstring? Where, I ask you??
It’s here, where it’s supposed to be. Oh, no wait, that’s not where it’s supposed to be. Shit, you’re right. They’re inside out.
Oh, no wait! Look at the little orange thing! That’s supposed to be on the outside, and it is! You’re totally set. Pants right side out.
Oh, my god what a relief.
