Perhaps post opposite days or something...Not to sure..I am sure some things will end up being within the same lines as each other, but I am going to "try" to keep them as separate as I can. Although I posted on the other one already today, and that would already make it hard to post on this one, I am just putting it out there that I am going to keep them apart from each other, Also, I want to put my poetry on here, cause it is sitting online elsewhere and I don't fully trust it there...plus I am not to sure of Efx2 stability yet to post it there...So here it goes.  Even though it has already been posted before. I want to start archiving it on here.... :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span name="storytext" id="storytext" style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Verdana;"&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Restless Feelings&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Should I be mad?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Should I be sad?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Wanting to feel happy&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;But how can that be...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;When you hurt me so much&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Why can't you see&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Should I be mad?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Should I be sad?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;I scream on the inside.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;The outside I'm calm.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;I lay so restless.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;And sweat in my palms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Should I be mad?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Should I be sad?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;All I can do&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;is wait for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;to pick me up&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;and love me too.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7983950051845065883-6624824413929363404?l=thoughtsofawise.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thoughtsofawise.blogspot.com/feeds/6624824413929363404/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7983950051845065883&amp;postID=6624824413929363404' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7983950051845065883/posts/default/6624824413929363404'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7983950051845065883/posts/default/6624824413929363404'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thoughtsofawise.blogspot.com/2007/09/posting-poetry.html' title='Posting Poetry'/><author><name>CertainInsanity</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01544930501180334349</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a6/RepressedMemories/100_0449.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983950051845065883.post-8969449005978131061</id><published>2007-09-19T15:58:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-09-19T16:34:29.656-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Vegas, B.C. and Europe Oh My!!!...</title><content type='html'>So, I went on to Efx2 this morning to find that once again it has changed and I am more lost than ever as to how to do anything!!! I think I am going to hold of on editing making that blog the way I want it until I am sure it is going to stick around, cause it seemed that I was just starting to get familiar with the Wordpress one and now it is gone. Besides, I just finished getting this one the way I want, I don't think I am up for another couple hours editing right now anyhow...*Laughs*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Onto other topic, I was speaking with a friend of mine the other day, and it seems she wants to go to Vegas for her 21st. birthday. I am looking forward to it, seeing as I have never been there before, but I am not that big on gambling, I have never even gambled other than on my 19th birthday here and we have 3 casinos around within walking distance. Although, Just the sites alone and being able to catch a few shows will make it worth the trip. Although she wants to see a certain performer that I am less than thrilled about. We are planning for for March, cause she doesn't turn 21 till the end of February.  The only problem is, I have been saving for a trip to Europe and now a chunk of that fund will have to go to this instead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This year seems to be the year of traveling for me. I am going out west, To B.C. and Calgary and such for a family reunion this summer, and if I have the time would love to take the long way back down through the States cause I oh so badly want to see Mt. Rushmore!! and The Rock n Roll Hall of fame.... Plus This coming January I am going to Cuba with my family. So, most definitely Europe will have to wait. As long as I get there some day I will be happy. :) Although I should get there sooner rather than later if I am going to find myself a good Irish husband...LOL The accent gets me every time!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Onto another totally random topic, but seeing as my posts are like that I am sure you are all used to it by now...The burn on my eight middle finger from the stupid coffee cup that turned into that white puffy blister decided to open yesterday while in the shower...and much much sooner than it should have..So now it is this open thing which is all red and is so sensitive that I have to wear a stupid band-aid and put on polysporn three times a day So it doesn't get infected!  The other burn on my left middle finger is almost healed, so at least it isn't both hands anymore...LOL I am such a klutz...Ohh if I had a nickel for every time I hurt myself I would be rich!! seriously, I bump into things, trip and fall more than a toddler learning to walk. There should be bumper pads in my house!  and when I go out I should be bubble wrapped...LOL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of going out...Hey look a segway!!..my first ever I think...LOL We are buying a new car, Well I am not my parents are...but same difference really....I still get to use it..LOL They' re buying an SUV. They haven't settled on one yet, but they are leaning towards the 2005 Hyundia (spelling?) Santa Fe. I don't know anything about cars, but I know it looks nice..LOL They almost went with the 2004 Saturn Vue, but I guess Saturn Vue's are built with a CVT transmission or something and they are pretty faulty and when they go you are looking at like 6oo0 dollars and upwards to get it fixed and replaced or something.... Yeah, That is all I am going to say about cars cause the longer I talk about this, the dumber I get..LOL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I should go get something to eat it is almost 4:30 in the afternoon and I have yet to eat anything today.....Yeah, I know not good for you to not eat all day, but I got sidetracked and haven't had a chance to grab anything to eat..hmm you know.... Sushi sounds good...:)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7983950051845065883-8969449005978131061?l=thoughtsofawise.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thoughtsofawise.blogspot.com/feeds/8969449005978131061/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7983950051845065883&amp;postID=8969449005978131061' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7983950051845065883/posts/default/8969449005978131061'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7983950051845065883/posts/default/8969449005978131061'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thoughtsofawise.blogspot.com/2007/09/vegas-bc-and-europe-oh-my.html' title='Vegas, B.C. and Europe Oh My!!!...'/><author><name>CertainInsanity</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01544930501180334349</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a6/RepressedMemories/100_0449.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983950051845065883.post-2282173304598545788</id><published>2007-09-17T23:15:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-09-18T00:29:34.343-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Warming up to Blogger...</title><content type='html'>Well, I just finally starting get this blog the way I want it. I actually sat this  down this time and took the time to figure it all out so I am sure that makes the world of difference. Well, I like what I have done with it so far, and after seeing how limited my options are on the new efx2 If I want personality on my blog I was forced to use this one for the time being.....Now that I have gotten the hang of it I actually kind of like it. Plus there is the huge added bonus of it being much more stable over here at blogger than on efx2, Although I still love Efx2 and plan to keep my blog there as well, no reason I can't have two is there. The only thing now really is finding people and their blogs who I used to so much enjoy before efx2 mucked up....I am still lurking around trying to find the blogs I read before...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I have recently learned just how accident prone I truly am, within two days  burned myself twice, once on a hot coffee cup and then on the element of my stove thinking it was cooled off when in fact it wasn't. The element one isn't that bad Where as the coffee cup one, (which I might add was to hot form being in the microwave...didn't even heat up my coffee!!!) is really bad, the whole finger almost and it is all white and puffy...I think it may scar...*sighs*  Have to wait and see I guess.....Everyone keep your fingers crossed for me....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Onto other not so important news, but it feels like forever since I wrote a blog..... I am collecting donations for the Arthritis society. Well, trying to anyway, not having much luck. It seems when I got out to collect donation either no one is home or I get cut short cause of the constant on again off again rain we have been having here. I am hoping to get it all done this weekend, again everyone cross your fingers for me cause I have to have it done by the end of September and I don't' have nearly half enough donations yet!!  Well, at any rate the dogs are getting a good walk out of it, even if I am not making enough progress....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of the dogs..They are both good and healthy, still bickering on a  regular basis, but would be missing each others company if they didn't have the other...LOL Loki is soon to get his first hair cut which I am actually really excited about...I think he will lose most of the black in his fur and be mostly white!!! So, I am a bit anxious to see what he looks like...I will b sure to post some pictures of it...Anyhow...This is turning into somewhat of a novel...So, hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.... :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7983950051845065883-2282173304598545788?l=thoughtsofawise.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thoughtsofawise.blogspot.com/feeds/2282173304598545788/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7983950051845065883&amp;postID=2282173304598545788' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7983950051845065883/posts/default/2282173304598545788'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7983950051845065883/posts/default/2282173304598545788'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thoughtsofawise.blogspot.com/2007/09/well-i-just-finally-starting-get-this.html' title='Warming up to Blogger...'/><author><name>CertainInsanity</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01544930501180334349</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a6/RepressedMemories/100_0449.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983950051845065883.post-6404862572326868220</id><published>2007-09-14T21:49:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2007-09-14T21:51:10.105-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Efx2 replacement??...lol</title><content type='html'>Well, I decided to make this little site on blogger for now until Efx2 is back up and running, The only problem is finding everyone from Efx2...there doesn't seem to be a way to search for people on Efx2...but well see how it goes.....Anyway, I would actually write something in here, but not having anyone at all to even so much as take a glance at it makes it not really worth my while to write anything...I am more just posting here that way if anyone from Efx2 find me here they can add me....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7983950051845065883-6404862572326868220?l=thoughtsofawise.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thoughtsofawise.blogspot.com/feeds/6404862572326868220/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7983950051845065883&amp;postID=6404862572326868220' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7983950051845065883/posts/default/6404862572326868220'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7983950051845065883/posts/default/6404862572326868220'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thoughtsofawise.blogspot.com/2007/09/efx2-replacementlol.html' title='Efx2 replacement??...lol'/><author><name>CertainInsanity</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01544930501180334349</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a6/RepressedMemories/100_0449.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
