New Blog // Reason Why I Started Another One

I decided to go ahead and make a new journal. I thought about deleting all of my entries from my account on Dreamwidth, but there was no way to mass delete all of them. It's easier to just pack up and move to a different journal space.

The reason why I wanted a new account was because...well, a lot of my recent posts just felt very depressing to read over. That, and it's not as organized as I would've liked, and there's far too many journal posts for me to sift through an edit.

My paid account on samatethecookie isn't going to expire until a couple of months. So I'll keep using that for personal, whiny thoughts, and posting to the writing community both the wifey and I own, until my services expire. (I can't help it. I like having extra icons.) Once that happens, this will be my only active blog from then on, outside of my Tumblr account.

As of now, this blog is mostly friends only. If you want to be added, please comment and let me know who you are. If I know you from somewhere, I'll add you.

If I don't recognize you, I'm not going to feel comfortable enough to give you access to my private posts. You're welcome to follow me for the occasional public posts, though.

Tagging System

So, here's how my tags are going to work.

[fandom] - Anything relevant to this fandom is going to get its own tag.
[person's name] - If I talk about a person, they'll get their own tag, too! (Family stuff just gets a regular ol' "family" tagged onto it.)
sam talks about stuff and things - If I talk about anything with my life, or what I did for the day/week/month/etc, I'll go ahead and put it under this tag.
sad sam is sad - Whenever I get really whiny or upset about something, the posts will be under a cut and properly tagged with this.
sam plays [ ... ] - Ramblings about video games I like, or what I'm currently playing.
meme - Memes I stumble across.
recipe - I like to bake and occasionally cook things. If I find a recipe I really enjoy, I'll share it!
nsfw - Not Safe For Work content.

I'll try and add trigger warnings in the titles of my entries, as well, if it's necessary.

If I think of anything else, I'll update this post.
