May
I’m the kind of blogger that has a weeks worth of posts scheduled ahead of time. When there’s alot going on, and I’m on a writing kick, that number can amp itself up to two, sometimes three weeks worth of scheduled posts.
Well, I’m out of scheduled posts.
That’s not entirely true. I had posts that were good to go. They were posts about ‘The Year of Elly’, and about what its like to be single, and about some of the drama that I’m not down with thats been going on.
And I’ve decided that I’m not going to post them. Since breaking up with The Ex I’ve been pretty open about where I am at, and what I was feeling. At the time, it was more important to me to express and figure out what I was doing than it was to worry about who was reading it.
Now I think I’m going to pull back, a bit. Because what I’d planned to post was not only my personal business, but a few other peoples, too. And I’m not willing to add to drama, no matter how vague or civil the post may be.
I’m going to pull back, a bit. Because there are some people that I would prefer didn’t know the details of my life. People from work, for example. Or from the bar. Or people who try read through the lines that aren’t there.
I’m going to pull back, a bit. Because I think I’d like to keep some of the details of my life for me.
So, I’m not going to post those posts. And I’m going to take a week or so to take some time and figure some things out.
In the meantime, for your viewing hilarity, here is me and The Second Quarter dressed in ridiculous costumes:

I hope you have a brilliant week, and I’ll see you on the flip side.

wow! – picture is win
ps – thanks for not spilling my goss ;) lolol
@Lucas – I thought it was super win! It made me laugh anyway. What fun is visiting a costume shop if you can’t try on the silly ones? :P And you’re so welcome! It was a close call, though. Your gossip was extra juicy :P – elly x
Tee hee, this photo definitely made me snort a little ^_^
@Desiree – Ha! Me too, actually :) – elly
You KNOW I love costumes!! Awesome :)
Best of luck figuring things out love – totally understand the need for a little privacy.
LOL Oh Elly, you’re amazing. I love a serious “I’m pulling back” post that ends with you dressed as a whoopee cushion. How did you get to be so priceless?
I totally feel you. I go back and forth about how much I’m willing to share. For me it’s a tough balance between pissing folks off and never taking a stance on anything and just writing about blah. And heh, I sometimes schedule posts for later so I have a window to cancel them if I change my mind. It’s a useful feature of blogging like that.
Oh, and a whoopee cushion? Genius!
Outstanding costumes! I understand about pulling back a bit – I have had put the reigns on several times in the last two years; I find it to be a constant battle trying to figure out which writing should be public and which should stay private. Except now my rule of thumb is letting a post sit – I write it, revisit it the next day and ask myself the question: is this for the blog or for my journal? 8 of 10 times it is for the journal and I just needed to get it out.
Don’t pull back too much – I need you ! AND THAT WHOOPIE CUSHION COSTUME. So I gave you an award – I got one today (I haven’t ever gotten one, I don’t think, I don’t know how to do this properly and I probably shouldn’t have said fuck when I accepted it, but you know how THAT goes) and while it seems like a chain letter (without the postage but with far more work then photocopying 10 pages) it will at least get you back here for a minute. Or 120 minutes, as the case may be.
