Dear Mister WordPress,

This isn’t a completely easy thing to say to you (actually I’m sorta lying about that and it IS kinda easy), but I feel that I should give you a heads up- just in case things really change in the next few days (or weeks) [and I'm totally certain things will definitely change]. As I’m sure you’ve noticed, I haven’t been coming around so much lately-and NO, that isn’t completely because of you….not really, but it isn’t like you’ve made me want to come around so much anymore either. I mean, we’ve been close for nearly two years, right? (Well, more like a year and a half, though who’s really counting), but I think this relationship has just ran its course. It’s not that I necessarily want to leave you-sometimes I actually don’t mind things like routines and familiarity…and you have watched patiently and listened intently as I pounded out countless drafts about all sorts of things-so you’ve served some really good purposes… well, most of them at least…But you wrongfully gave me grief about audio files-forcing me to rely on third party sites, rather than just handling things like MP3s yourself-and the fact that I can’t do video entries (like I plan on doing in the future) UNLESS I get a ‘paid account’  honestly really pissed me off-so there’s been things that have bothered me for some time now-but I’ve faked a smile and tried accepting these little hangups as part of your conservative personality and probably would have continued to do so if I wouldn’t have stumbled across something new by accident a few nights ago; something that looks as if he may fit my needs a bit better-(actually much better) than you do. He seems much quicker, reliable and he’s not limiting with his themes the way you are. As a matter of fact, he allows for all sorts of experimenting…playing with things-which means that within a few days I may have a yummy pink n’ black theme-like I’ve SO wanted you to give me for so long-rather than always playing it safe (mundane) and keeping things ‘nice’ (boring) and serious (blah) like you’ve always wanted me to. He’s really fun…even sort of adventurous… like a man who isn’t afraid to let a woman dress him and do him up, (even if he ends up looking completely foolish). It’s all definitely more exciting than you-sitting there smirking behind your black and white (with the occasional mild blue and green- gasp!) themes.

I would like to say that this isn’t your fault, (but  I’d sorta be lying if I did, wouldn’t I?) You just refused to move forward-evolve a little like I needed you to-refusing to give me the simple, easy things I’ve so wanted from you.

So, if you’d like to see what I’m probably (almost definitely) leaving you for- have a look-but be sweet, because we’re in the VERY early stages of things and I’ve not had the chance to really sink my teeth and nails into him and mold him into what I want him to be in order to perfectly serve my needs and desires.

So there-I’ve given you the ‘Dear John’…But who knows, maybe he’ll fail me somehow or I’ll become bored (though I doubt it) and I’ll come stomping back to the ‘Underground’ before the first snowfall…After all, you know me (at least you think you do)- I’m a  picky, moooooody woman and it doesn’t take much to make me change my mind or my feelings-so maybe the familiarity you and I share will win out and I’ll leave Mr Tumblr, (despite that he seems oh so capable of handling my pink n’ black desires) and I’ll come back to you…time will tell, right? (But please don’t hold your breath, Honey)

And just think of the positive aspects of our split-I’ll most definitely be happier with the ease of posting via Tumblr, so I’ll be posting random bits lots more-and you’ll still have your kazillion other WordPress bloggers to play with, right?

P.S. For the next few days, I may be a devilish two-timer and play with both of you until he’s better prepared to handle me-I hope you don’t mind, Sweetie…

Lucia13, in Real-Time

P.S. If you’re reading this, maybe U should get a Tumblr account too-even if you only blog ONCE a year or something…U could always use it for tiny, random things instead of blog  entries….Seriously, it’s a bit quiet over there during my settling in phase and I’d love the company…

Hello U,

I’ve been working on an audio entry, but finding the opportune time to record is a bit difficult at the moment. I think it’d be easier to actually tell you what I’ve been going through for the past several months, rather than typing (I’m a lazy typer, remember?) If you’ve emailed me or messaged me while I was hiding away feeling sorry for myself and then actually making the effort to come to terms with certain things, I’ll be emailing you over the weekend. I really appreciate the feedback and I love you bunches and bunches-seriously-you’ve been awesome and it’s really helped kicked my ass back into place, whatever that is.

The weather’s getting dreadful and I’m not dealing with the cold very well-ughh, it’s already in the 40’s-tell me, what happened to autumn? Off to hunt down and viciously slay Jack Frost before the whole winter thing comes any closer…Or maybe I’ll just have a shower and fall sleep instead, who knows.

“La La Love you-don’t mean maybe”,

Testing, Testing 1,2,3,…

Hi Dolls, I’m home…Are U still here?

An over-extended break-it’s been too long, I know. I’ve been lurking for days, but wasn’t quite ready to say anything; hard to believe that I could be at a loss for words, right?

I’m back (finally)…and once again full of rambles, quips and Lucia-speak. But for now, I’m off to get comfy and catch up on things and then I’ll post again. And I’m leaving U with one of my favorite songs- pay careful attention, lovelies  (and enjoy!).

P.S. The Underground is looking a bit lame these days, we SO need to redecorate!

Above My WHAT?

Okay, here ya go-and the background noise comes to you compliments of Team Have Not, which you are seconds away from having the pleasure of hearing all about. At the moment, I believe they’re trying to build a fire by banging a few stones together in the courtyard of the apartment complex, Joy!

….and yes, gum is tightly clenched in the cheek , like always-Enjoy!

 

P.S. Forgive the terrible editing and the sleepy voice-I’m much too tired to be doing this right now.

Above My What?

Hugs & Tugs!

No offense intended for:Monstrous perv Chiropractors that really didn’t go ‘too far’ (RIP Dr.S), Snotty-nosed tykes that can’t keep up with subtitled movies (practice, practice, my Sweets-you’ll be fine, but wipe your nose already!), Smart-assed teens in really bad situations who are Oh-so-aware that they ARE better than the situation they’re currently sinking in:(U really will rise, rise rise above it!!) Farmers’ sons that smell like pigs due to the work they do (hard work is really sexy-even if it makes you smelly-it’s ALL good…as long as you aren’t mean to weird girls), Doctors who feel passionate enough to yell, (as long as they don’t terrify young patients with their dark predictions), People who live in trailers or trailer parks, God (if he doesn’t actually ‘target’ trailers for potential tornadic activity), People who pronounce ‘ing’ as ‘en’,(unless your MY ex-stepfather-then it’s one of the million things I really loathe about you-even now), Neighbors who do NOT litter and who do NOT have yelling conversations while neglecting the fact that they may actually be disturbing other people, Anyone who knows me well enough to realize I’m usually being tongue in cheek (what a tasty-sounding phrase huh?), and am not always 100% serious about the things I say, People who can appreciate and perhaps even embrace a little thing called satire…Oh, and of course those ‘women who are far too ’self-absorbed’ and shamelessly promote themselves with an ‘air of self importance’…cheers to you big time, fellow self-promoters!!

Offense WELL intended for:
Bullies who take the piss at ambiguous people, Stepfathers who attempt to criticize their stepchildren destructively, Neighbors who scratch & sniff in public (especially under the spotlight of a very revealing streetlight), Neighbors that spy on the new neighbors and then bitch when they see unfavorable behaviour from the new riff-raff (shame on you for spying, Luci Ann!), Perv doctors that actually go too far with their naive patients, Neighbors who wrongfully judge others because they aren’t like the rest of the ‘natives’, Twisted people that feel the need to remind me that “God Don’t like ugly”, Anyone who doesn’t GET That I’m totally yanking your tangled chain and who don’t realize you really shouldn’t always take me so seriously..and Tony, ‘just a fellow’ who really ‘dislikes women who shamelessly promote themselves with an air of self importance’ Wow-I just consumed even MORE of your ‘valuable’ time, Mr. Just a Fellow Tony (Resistance is so bloody futile, isn’t it? I bet U love it & U KNOW it )
