Tumblr

So...what exactly IS tumblr and do I really need ANOTHER social media venue to explore my insecurites and try to "connect" with people? Maybe.

Maybe not.

In college, I did Friendster for two seconds. In grad school, I tried MySpace, and the Face Book. Laziness, not enough ego, and a break-up, led me to abandon those sites, and I turned to Twitter. I registered a username in 2007, but didnt start tweeting until two months into having an iPhone. Twitter was great...short, mobile, and enough for my level of ego. And now I have to realize that Twitter's capabilities should be more? Huh?

Ugh.

But I may just grab "kavabuggy" as a tumblr username, just to have it. Not that people even know that word exists, but I made it up, so it's mine.

Okay.

And...now I have a tumblr account. Let's see where this leads.

I need to find a portal à la "Being John Malkovich" or something, so I can transmogrify into another me so there will be enough mes to tweet, tumble (?), blog, AND journal by hand in an actual diary/journal (remember those?!!!). If I'm going to commit to discovering who I am/am suppopsed to be, I have to take part in all of these methods, just to be fair. Oh geez. This is overwhelming.

I'm not dead...

No matter how much some people wish for the contrary, I still exist.

I've taken the time away from "blogging" to figure out what it is I should blog about--narrow my focus, if you will. I thought maybe, in the spirit of "Julie & Julia," to review movies as a regular person...not as some wannabe filmmaker or as an unsuccessful journalist, but as a regular movie lover (not "buff," I'm hardly that)...a person who, since 11 years old, has been enamored with films, and rarely dislikes one. I think I'll attempt that, but I KNOW there's no way I can refrain from posting something personal. So...

I'll try. Just like everything else...I'll try. Just don't hate me if I get into a personal discourse with myself (how schizo, I know, but I have never thought I was perfect. People have issues, and I deal a little better if I put them out there and get them out of my head once in a while) every now and again.
