Sanctuary

I'll just admit here and now again that I mention and express things on here that I normally would feel a little nervous about saying out loud. That is what this blog is for really, to fully express myself and share my life with others.

When I started blogging on a regular basis it was back in 2008 and it was on a now sad site called Xanga, that is now only a shadow of its former self. I had done a few entries on other sites here and there, but Xanga was by far my favorite site to blog on for years. I used to write on AOL Journals, wordpress, and Quizilla in high school, but only a few times. I miss the days of having a regular following of people that read my blog. Blogger is great, but it can be difficult to get a big audience sometimes.

I want people to know my feelings, poetry, experiences, regrets, times in my life when I did things in not proud of, and struggles I've been through. People need to know they aren't alone and there are people that have been through depression, social issues, lack of confidence, motivation issues, etc. You are never truly alone and I've been through a lot, that is why I write. I write here so that I don't feel alone and I feel heard and so I can help others, and share my creativity. I hope I can inspire and uplift and encourage others to have dreams and get out more.

This is my sanctuary, but it can also bee a sanctuary for others if they wish.

Ultra

i spent a lot of time today on Tetris. I actually beat my old high score on Tetris Ultra twice today. I played a little bit of Arena too on Tetris Friends, played a little on Tetris Battle on facebook as well. I actually ranked down today in arena. I was rank 10, but had 0 points and I lost a game, so i ranked down. It is pretty normal for me to roller coaster between 9 and 10 though, so I'm not worried at all. I really enjoy doing Ultra, Ultra is a mode of Tetris that is 1 player. You just try to score as high as you can in 2 minutes. I really enjoy all the modes, but this one is really good for practice in the 2 player, 6 player, and Arena modes. I suggest if you are reading this and you haven't played on Tetris Friends, or Tetris Battle on facebook you go try it. I have been playing Tetris since I was 3 and the only thing I haven't mastered yet is the T-spin.

 I watched a little bit of Phineas and Ferb today. I didn't get to watch very much Netflix on the TV upstairs today because the remote went missing, and my nieces were watching something before that. My family was using it for the rest of the day watching Kyle XY.

 My mom made tuna casserole today for dinner. She made 2 different kinds. She made a gluten free one, and a regular one. We didn't get to use as much cheese as we usually do because we ran out and we didn't know we were out of cheese. It was still really good as usual however. Everything mom cooks is always great in my opinion. She also made lemon icebox pudding, it was fantastic. I think I had 2 helpings of that.

 I have been manually importing my posts from Xanga to blogger. I have to manually do it because Xanga has no import / export feature. I am doing this because I want to be able to export to Wordpress as well if for some reason i decide to. I am exporting one month of blogs every day. For example: I exported my blog entries from August 2011 today. I'm going to be going backwards from there.  I have blogs on Xanga all the way to 2008.  I still prefer Xanga to any other blogging site, even here. I am even going to be getting my own personal URL there soon. I tend to want to quit blogging when I don't blog on Xanga. I have always had a lot of fun on Xanga despite my occasional lazy moments.

 I changed my theme on Xanga today. I have had that previous orange, yellow, red, and black theme. I figured I would go for something a little cooler this time.  The name of my background is "Swept away". The background came from colourlovers.com. I colored it on my account (Starberry).

 Anyway, I think this is going to be it for today, other than me changing the color of my profile picture after this. It's pretty late and I don't think anything else will happen today.

Moving to Blogger

I will still be on Xanga, but I am not going to be updating again until I get things all set up over there. I'm in for hours of blog post moving since Xanga has no import / export tool. Sorry for my laziness the past few weeks. It seems stuff constantly comes up when I mean to come back and update.  I've been feeling kind of tired and stuff lately. I'm dealing with a lot of stuff lately. I feel really good about this move though, I think it's what i need. I don't like sharing my Xanga with family and close friends for some reason. Blogging on a second site again will bring my spark back and enable my family and friends to read my blog as well. When I am done I will add all the stuff I didn't add on here from the past month. I have already started doing that on my blogger since I am going to be working backwards where post moving is concerned. Newest to oldest is the way I am doing it. 

Anyway there isn't much on my blogger yet, but follow me if you want. I will have all the stuff up pretty soon. I will have the stuff I haven't posted on here on there first since I am working backwards from newest to oldest, so check often.
