and i probably will not be here much b/c of it...not that that really matters much in the scope of things...it is like saying that i don't want to be an American anymore...stuck with that at the moment...LOL...but this really sucks big time...i loved being able to see everything that was going on by just popping on my home page in a smaller window while i attended to other stuff...now, if i choose to, i will have to click links for the first ten minutes just to see what is going on...can't multitask and keep Gaia in a small window now...that is impossible to do...i am really pissed off about this change...DO WE NOT COUNT???????
also, it makes it harder for newcomers...i remember the last time a lot of changes were made, we lost a lot of cool people...that sucked then and this sucks now...i know the power's that be worked hard on this, and nothing against them...but this really is not a change for the better...at least not in my opinion...but then you know what they say about those...anyways...that is my voice in the wilderness that is now Gaia...
always, star...fuck the joy i'm pissed!

Star, my dear ladyfriend, please don't go away… I know I have been so wrapped up in school and do not comment much anymore. but fact is i still come here to take a break from the grinding brain pains I get from studying. Most times I dont comment cause my hands and fingers are cramped and stiff from hours upon hours of homework, but I love reading your work, you are my all time favorite poet, and songwriter… I have finals in my anatomy and physiology (8wk course) next week, so I really have no thought on the new changes except OH. Realizing it won't help me ace my finals, lol, nor will the VP debate but I'm watching anyway. With the 14 credit hours I am taking this semester I have little time for anything else, but I do find time to get quiet, get mellow, get enlightened and see just how my favorite starlight is dancing… please do not go away today or any day even if this new layout sucks big time for you because this too shall pass. sending much kindness, joy, love and happiness your way today and a big ole virtual HUG N KISS
Hello Lorna my dear sweet friend…i didn't mean that i would not be checking in…just that i would not be spending as much time as i use to, and hey, that might just be a good thing! my life is getting busier…and with all these new additives, THAT I DO NOT LIKE…STILL…AND I AM JUST BEING REAL ABOUT THAT…it makes it pretty time consuming…and it is not as easy to communicate as it was in the past…but hey…i can't control that, nor can i change it…but i do accept it…doesn't mean i have to like it…nor does it mean i have to be subject to it…it's like anything else today…i don't pretend…i keep it real with me…and i feel what i feel…and by doing that, i don't have to get trapped in it…that is how it is today…but who knows about tomorrow…LOL
i will still be checking in…i am online a lot…and anyone who wants to holla…can send me a pm…and i will try to keep up with my inner circle of friends that i have made here…and i am pretty sure that i will still be posting blogs…but then again, who the hell knows? lol…my computer seems to have a mind of it's own these days…and so…as usual…universe unfold…
i am certain you will do real well with your studies and tests…i think it is awesome that you are doing so well…
much love and joy to you…always, star…
b-b-b-but we were just starting to have fun :-D
LOL, I know what you mean! When I first saw the layout last night, I thought it was really cool…OUR space seems wider and bigger…but so does the ad space, now that I'm fully awake!
I totally understand though. Just don't leave permanently okeedokee? I hardly spend time here roaming around anymore, it's more like popping in to respond to notifications, which is easier.
Keep Blogging, cause we Loooooove you!~~<3
Starlight,
It does matter if you are here.
I noticed the hassle too.
The design seems to reveal more for the advertisers. I suppose Gaia needs the marketing promotions and the research shows when placing ads in certain places, the places that were more convenient for those of us using the site a lot, are the prime spots for these ads to get noticed. My guess only from the marketing on the internet stuff I learned.
I love your poems and energy.
I wish you well.
LeAnn
thnx for stopping by LeAnn and Ariela…(i think that is how you spell it…lol)
yes, ariela, i was starting to have a lot of fun on the gv, and on your blog too…it is just not as easy to keep up with it all in one little box now and continue to do other things…that is my biggest problem with it…but hey…it is what it is…and i will either deal with it, or i wont…LOL…
LeAnn, that is so sweet of you to say…i'll still be around…universe willing…lol…
much love and joy to you both…always, star…
as if i needed one more reason to absolutely hate this new system…everything i have blogged since the transformation has not been entered as i entered it…and, there is no longer access to the abc checker, adding a link, or a video…all that is not available anymore, at least not in my worldspace…here on gaia…this sucks big time…sure wish someone would fix these bugs…is anyone else having this problem or is it just me? LOL…maybe there is a conspiracy going on…lol…don't you just love conspiracies…haha
I've heard other grumblings about blog glitches, but haven't had a problem so far. I like the sidebar navigation and find it much easier to get around with. The larger ads are an irritation but I know I'll get to the point where I just tune them out, and I understand the motivation for Gaia to stay solvent so we can continue to enjoy each other's company:-)
hugs and hopes you'll begin to feel better about it. ~J
I have noticed glitches as well.
I hope the bugs are chased out. We don't want to miss your writings Star.
Thanks for continuing to move through this place as you feel led.
:)
janet…lol…not sure that i will ever like it, but i am trying to be more comfortable with it…it is like the disc in my back…when it flares, i don't like it…but i have come to accept it…and i do try and focus on other things, so i would imagine once the bugs are worked out, and i have gotten use to not having everything at the top, and in view of my little multitasking window, nah…fuck that…the true rebel within me WILL NOT CONVERT…LMAO…i still have to use the arrows to navigate to see my grapevine…yesterday i couldn't even use the side bar…it was not working properly…and so i just gave up trying…it is so time consuming to navigate and find out what everyone has posted and what's on the gv…gheeze…it doubles the time and is not as sastisfying…ok…that is my bitch portion for today…the truth is, i cannot control it…and it is irritating…i got use to it being easy, and now it is not…and i do realize that the ads are necessary…but damn, it is getting less and less personal…and more business as usual…JUST LIKE THE REAL WORLD…oh well…life goes on…live and let live…much love and joy to you…
dear LeAnn, i am having trouble posting, as i mentioned…but hopefully that will all get worked out…the other stuff i will just have to learn to accept…much like the pain in my back…LOL…love and joy…thnx for stopping by…*
Hugs Star
Sorry to learn you have chronic back pain.
know what is halarious? this new system bugs me more…LOL…or maybe it is just where my focus is directed cause i don't want to focus on the physical pain…dunno…that is plausible, come to think of it…like the kinks in the system and my back…they'll work themselves out…or not…i'm just feeling like an alien in this new worldly world of Gaia…to much like the real world if you ask me…but then no one did…lol…I MISS GAIA…BOO HOO…LMAO…*
Don't leave, Star!!!!!! We'll survive the change. I promise. ;)
hey grey…it is just not a pleasant experience anymore…in fact, it is very frustrating…none of my shit works right, and i am already trying to learn how to navigate it all over again…LOL…it's hilarious when you think about it…how something can piss me off so bad…how ridiculous…lol…at least i do have an outlet that is still working…glad of that! joy to you*
It's understandable, Star. If a family member came to my home and rearranged my kitchen, I would be pretty upset. I would still be able to cook the same as always, but it would take a while to get used to how things were arranged.
yeah, but my stove is still not working…LOL! maybe the kinks will eventually be worked out, but i can't even figure out how to register a complaint…cause my stove's not working! LOL…i left a message on Siona's gv…but have not heard back…i can still comment here though…LOL…it is frustrating trying to find all the pots and pans…and even my sidebar links are not functioning properly…so, i'm fucked…can't find the pots and pans, and it doesn't matter anyways…CAUSE MY STOVE'S NOT WORKING…LMAO…
thnx for the back and forth…at least i am laughing now…that is progress…much love and joy…*
Hehe. That was funny. Thanks for the laughter. I hope your evening is comforting and joyful. :)
yeah! my stove is working…LOL…i'm baking in my oven again…thank you computer gods!
