More about me, me, me

January 1, 2005 By pia

I began this blog as an easy way to keep my writing organized and to practice. Then it grew and took on a life of its own,

Since Blogger can only archive but not organize each post into categories, and I didn’t want to go the different blogs for different posts especially since half the time I have no idea what’s going to come out, I began to get my own site together. It’s up but not in really great shape yet. Still tweaking it. WWW.Courtingdestiny.com–hopefully it will be tweaked and ready this coming week.

One of the things that is taking so long is my compulsion to do things correctly, once and then let things just happen. I want to archive my old work that’s on Blogger in categories, and that’s taking awhile. Plus I’m having a hard time thinking up categories. I will stay on Blogger and BE under the current URL so that people can find me, because I haven’t said Courtingdestiny.com 30,000 times and believe that nobody will find me.

My computer was drinking a lot, has been hung over, and is now in recovery. It had many problems most caused not by viruses, but by virus protectors, general old age (three years old–I thought it was young/middle aged) and some by a person who installed a browser she liked that I don’t use that left its footmarks even after the uninstall.

Why do kids always listen to me and adults never do? That’s generalizing and maybe rhetorical, than again maybe not.

Anyway the whole point of this post is to ask a couple of questions:
1) Is compulsion a bad thing?
2) Do other people go this compulsive when setting up a new site or even on Blogger
3) Is this a productive way to spend time or am I hiding from sending out query letters with published works?
4) Does anybody really care that the three films on my semi-permanent DVR collection are School of Rock, Love Stinks and Secretary?
5) Is blogging the almost ultimate narcissism?
6) Is it a major revolution in the way people communicate?

I’m truly curious.

    […] Last night Central Park Was Grand is about New Years Eve in Central Park last year. Not sure that it’s an example of my best writing but any night I can be in Central Park at Midnight is worth writing about. […]

About Me

I live in the South, not South Florida, a few blocks from the ocean, and two blocks from the main street. It's called Main Street. Amazes me too.

I'm from New York. I mostly lived in the Mid-Upper East Side, and the heart of the Upper West Side. It amazes me when people talk about how scared they were of Times Square in the 1970's and 1980's.

As my mother said: "know the streets, look out and you'll be fine."

What was scary was the invasion of the crack dens into "good buildings in good 'hoods." And the greedy landlords who did everything they could to get good tenants out of buildings.

I'm a Long Island girl, and proud of it now.
Then I hated everything about the suburbs. Yet somehow I lived in a few great Long Island Sound towns after high school.
