<p>Welcome to my present.</p>
<p>I know I am being blessed. I know this discomfort is temporary but it's just so fucking (I will cuss here. You clicked that you were grown when you entered this space) uncomfortable damn it. I know that thoughts are things and if I focus on my discomfort I will get more of it so I turn my thoughts to abundance, peace, comfort, clarity and joy. </p>
<p>But I'm fucking uncomfortable. SHIT!</p>
<p>When I was a little girl and I had to go to the bathroom but there wasn't one available my Mommy and I would play this game. She would start a story and then when she stopped I would have to keep it going. It took my mind off of my discomfort and helped me to hold it until we got to the bathroom.</p>
<p>I'm telling stories...just waiting to get...there.</p>
<p>That's all today.</p>
<p>Really. There is no more.</p>
<p>Why are you still reading? I'm done.</p>
<p>For reals.</p>
<p>Giggles. </p>
<p>Have a great day.</p>

I shouldn'ta left you without a dope blog to step to. giggles</p>
<p>I miss blogging. I miss it. I miss the release. I miss the interaction with readers. I miss re-reading my life. I miss it. So here I am. </p>
<p>Blogging did more for me than therapy. When I started blogging on myspace I was in a very strange place in my life. I had just ended, what I thought were going to be, lifetime friendships. I'll take most of the blame for it but time has shown me that there is a REASON for everything and I no longer regret ANY of it. I was in an abusive and loveless relationship. I was confused. I was filled with self hate. I was disconnected from my dreams and my destiny. I was clinically depressed and definitely in crisis.</p>
<p>I started out on myspace wanting to share my poetry with people who didn't know me. I wanted to see if strangers would "feel me". I started posting poems with the thought that if no one liked them I could delete my page and learn an important lesson...I suck. LMAO But fortunately for me...not only did I get wonderful feedback, I also met some of the coolest people ever! When I started following their blogs I saw so much openness. I saw myself in so much of what they posted. In supporting some of them I realized I was supporting myself. They challenged me to "do better" and I challenged them right back. It was beautiful and reciprocal and an easy way to test out the person I was becoming. It was reciprocal, entertaining and it was reading and writing. I loved it.</p>
<p>When myspace died...we all migrated to facebook. Blogging was not the same. How could I blog about sex with my Daddy on my page? How could I rant about my family when they might read it? LOL The people who could read weren't strangers anymore and since I was still in the infancy of my new self I didn't know how to do it. I kept posting poetry but I let the blogging go. I never stopped missing it though.</p>
<p>I watched some of my myspace bloggers turn blogging into a full time job. I watched some of them make it profitable. I am so proud of them. I thought about doing it myself a hundred times and every single time I come in to work but I still haven't even tried. LOL I might get it together one day. giggles The thing about those successful blogs is you can't respond to every comment. You can't "know" your readers. It's not intimate. I just watched a favorite blogger of mine come out of the closet. He got thousands and thousands of comments. I know he appreciated them but he couldn't really respond to all of them. I don't know that I could handle that. I like intimacy. I crave it.</p>
<p>So....I am going to try really hard to post here regularly. I'll link the posts to my fb for a while so maybe some of you can follow me. Any time you post a blog...anywhere please drop me a link or an inbox. I like reciprocity. I like idea exchange. I like reading your thoughts and your emotions and your lives.</p>
<p>I'm back.</p>
<p>I promise I'll be more interesting...next time. ;-)</p>
<p>P.S. How come when I type this I have pretty pretty paragraphs and when I hit post it's just one big mess? Grrrr Learning curve.</p>
<p>P.P.S. I fixed it. I sure is proud of me.

Smooches!Princess Danahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09922738039913891891noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-49736554168180046.post-85445647110569862152009-12-15T15:19:00.000-04:002009-12-16T14:23:19.102-04:00A little about meWell I guess I should tell you all a little about me huh? LOL <br /><br />First things first I was supposed to be a princess. Seriously. I was. <br /><br />I have been blogging since early 2000. I started on askheartbeat.com before blogging was even called blogging. I wonder if that website is even around anymore. Anyway, then I found myspace, met an awesome circle of friends and totally got hooked on blogging.<br /><br />I have ALWAYS been a writer. Poetry is my oxygen. I write something almost every day. 98 percent of the time I write what I live. This can be tricky as the people in my life are not always the most willing characters in my stories. LOL <br /><br />I am VERY opinionated but I feel no need to ram my opinions down anyone's throat. I definitely am a non-confrontational woman. I think if we all just respected each other the world would be an awesome place.<br /><br />I think every single day about the kind of person I want to be and I work towards being her. Sometimes I spend too much time in my head but I can't help it. I am a VERY emotional person but I don't think this is a bad thing. LOL<br /><br /><br />I am pretty much an open book...if you have any questions please feel free to ask away. <br /><br />I hope you enjoy reading my madness.Princess Danahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09922738039913891891noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-49736554168180046.post-81158914253508375202009-12-10T16:29:00.001-04:002010-06-02T23:05:42.515-04:00Signature PieceI was supposed to be a princess..<br />
Somebody fucked up.<br />
I was supposed to be a princess,<br />
Drinking from goblets and not…<br />
Red plastic cups.<br />
Chores are so consuming,<br />
I really need some staff.<br />
Excuse me are you smiling?<br />
I am serious, don't laugh!<br />
<br />
I was supposed to be a princess<br />
with a Queendom at my feet.<br />
I was supposed to be a princess<br />
reigning with grace and majesty.<br />
Doing my own laundry seems horribly mundane,<br />
being forced to cook for myself is perfectly insane.<br />
<br />
I was supposed to be princess<br />
Are you listening to me?<br />
I was supposed to be a princess<br />
My every word a decree.<br />
Shoveling my car out, should be someone else's job.<br />
I need some staff to clean my room, it seems, I am<br />
a slob!<br />
<br />
<br />
I was supposed to be a princess<br />
With suitors catering to my every whim<br />
I was supposed to be a princess<br />
Would you please STOP laughing?<br />
When you see me pumping gas, doesn't it seem<br />
wrong?<br />
I should have an entourage and my very own<br />
theme song!<br />
<br />
I was supposed to be a princess<br />
This life is a crime.<br />
I was supposed to be a princess<br />
No everything's not fine!<br />
There doesn't seem to be a single prince in sight.<br />
Shit who am I kidding I can't even spot a knight!<br />
<br />
<br />
I was supposed to be a princess<br />
Somebody fucked up!<br />
So many things that just seem wrong<br />
Like working, really sucks!<br />
A harem of designers should be sweating me.<br />
Anyone with ambition wants to dress the future<br />
queen.<br />
Are you listening to me?<br />
I AM her royal magesty!<br />
<br />
<br />
I was supposed to be a princess<br />
I would rule with empathy<br />
I would be a humble leader<br />
My subjects would worship me<br />
Why do I have to make my bed<br />
Or ever worry my pretty little head?<br />
I would be fabulously attired<br />
I would be universally admired…<br />
<br />
<br />
I was supposed to be a princess and…<br />
"HUH! HUH! WHAT? The toilet's clogged?"<br />
I was supposed to be a princess<br />
That should be someone else's job<br />
But big sigh I have no staff<br />
And I can hear your stupid laugh.<br />
Guess I have to get the plunger,<br />
Yet I'll always have to wonder…<br />
<br />
<br />
I was supposed to be a princess<br />
But some fat ass clogged my bowl<br />
So this poem has to end while I go on<br />
Shit patrol!<br />
<br />
<br />
I was supposed<br />
To be<br />
A<br />
