Oh Where In The World Is Sugar????
Hello readers,
Yes, it is I, brown sugar, still alive and well. Sorry I haven't updated my blog in over 6 weeks (yikes!). I didn't realize it until Ganesh commented on my previous post. Part of it is interviewing for new jobs (gonna hear if I got my dream job or not Monday morning-send some good luck vibes to me), another part is trying to meet new people in the wake of people moving on with their lives away from CA.
Also, to be honest, I have been toying with the idea of shutting down the blog. The "Happy One Year" essays were a way to begin the healing process that I had been avoiding, and now that it is complete (the essays, the healing is starting to begin), I'm not too sure where to go with the blog. As you may remember, I was supposed to meet up with BP in NYC. It happened on a windy afternoon by the Staten Island Ferry during his cigarette break, and basically, it just made me sad to see a medicated BP who wasn't as vibrant as the man I once cared for all those years ago. I guess me playing with this idea of shutting the blog is a way to close that chapter in my life. But then again, I adore the community we have here and have had the honor of meeting some of you IRL and calling you genuine friends. Without this blog, I don't think I would have met them.
Sure, I still have some random encounters with folks (like the guy who proposed to me 20 minutes after meeting me and another proposal from a guy who thought I was Yemenese-don't ask me why these proposals are coming, I'm just a quirky brown girl with a weird fashion sense and a strange obession with Bollywood. But, hey, at least my mom is thrilled), but I don't know if I have any other stories to share. Guess my life is pretty boring apart from that.
No, this is not a declaration of a blog shut-down, but I just wanted to share where I am at. Who knows, I may start posting more next week (especially if I get the new job). Just wanted to say that I am here and still working on things and who knows, I may be back in full force before you know it (or not). Until then, I look forward to reading (and commenting) on your wonderful blogs and appreciating the community we have.
-b :-)

I have been thinking of shutting down for some time to. It's never been the same after I shut down manifestmydesires. Lots going on in life but not anything that I really want to blog about. But I love the community and don't want to shut down for that purpose. Le Sigh. What's a girl to do with her blog?

I hope you don't decide to shut down, because I've missed checking out your posts. But it's your decision, ultimately, so I just wanted to say that I am glad you're back (even if it is temporary)!

Leave it inactive if you must but you never know when you'll need an outlet.
Oh and when did people start saying "le sigh?" LOL

Wow, I didn't expect to get all these comments. Thank you!
bengali chic: Girl, I hear you! What are we to do? Until then, I hope things are alright and know that you will have a reader in me, regardless on what I decide to do with the blog :-)
brimful: Aww, thanks girl for understanding. Honestly, I didn't realize that my posts are that interesting, just random musings, but glad to know I have a reader in you. BTW, love checking out your posts! :-)
mango p: Hun, it was SO wonderful to see you Sunday! You looked simply beautiful! It really meant a lot that you arranged for me to be there. Let's talk soon so we can gush. :-)
ganesh: Yep, alive and well on a surpringly sunny day in SF. Hope things are good on your end :-).
tamasha: Thanks for the :-).
agk: You know, the <3 always reminds me of a sideways ice cream cone. I do feel extra special and a <3 right back at you. :-)
yasmine: Hey girl! I lowve you, too! Thanks for the love and let's catch-up soon! :-)
zen: Yeah, that's a good idea of keeping this open as an outlet. I know that writing has always helped me work through things and knowing that there is community out there that won't judge is really reassuring to me. I'll certainly consider it! Hope you're well :-).
island girl: Hey there! Unfortunetly, I just got word that I did not get my dream job, which means I'm stuck doing redundant work under the "Miranda Pristely" of the SF nonprofit world. Luckily, the kids are amazing and I work on a great team. Thanks for your well wishes though and keep your fingers crossed for me. I hope things are going well for you! :-)

I thought the <3 was a kissy mouth. Wow. WOW. The idea of it being a heart just BLEW MY MIND.
And Zen, some of us have been saying Le Sigh forEVAH. :)

I'm not sure when I started using *Le Sigh* I only use it in emails/blogging. I started using it 2006??
So I went to urban dictionary to do some research:
1) a phrase commonly used by a blogger to express their frusteration with life
--by flense May 30, 2004
2)A common catch phrase used in the popular classic cartoon "Pepe Le Pew" of Looney Tunes. The cartoon would feature a skunk inevitably falling for a cat who always seemed to get a strip of white pants on her otherwise completely black body...giving said feline the appearance of a female skunk. Pepe would hop around (literally hopping) trying to woo the extremely hesitant (understatement) kitty.
The phrase "le sigh" was often followed with a "le purr" in the series.

tamasha: You know, I was surprised too when I looked up <3 to learn that it was a heart. I actually like your interpretation of it. I'm all for kissy lips ;-). Hope you're doing well.
bengali chick: Wow, you really did your research! LOVE the fact that le sigh is part of the blogger lingo. Thank you Urban Dictionary. BTW-looking forward to our lunch date on Friday :-).

Umm... so it seems a lot of bloggers want to shut down their blogs. Can I just make a suggestion? If you feel like writing, then write. If you don't, then don't write. While I enjoy many a blog, this is not a binary equation so do whatever makes you happy. It's not a bad thing that you're ignoring your blog by tending to your life.
That said, it's nice to hear that things are going well.

mb:
Point noted! I think that for now I'll keep my blog open for the random encounters and other things that might come up in my life.
Things are going alright here on the left coast, but I must say I'm super jealous of your recent travels. :-)

a blog has no commitment to it what so ever, just keep it around for when you feel like blogging :)
