laura and jimmy are trying to move my cheese. they want me to start using Moveable Type for the blog and i REALLY DON’T WANT TO and what i don’t get, is how come my not wanting to use MT is not at all considered.
it’s my blog. my site. it’s hosted on jimmy’s server and laura made it look like a real site! why, why, WHY do i need to use MT, a canned pre-made program corporate thing, when i can use html or something and still be able to say, yeah, that’s my site. it’s not MT’s site. it’s mine. MINE!but the laura and the jimmy, they don’t get that, they’re all, “oh jaimie.” and they think i’m just being stubborn or something. like it’s almost cute that i don’t want to change the site.
BUT I DON’T WANT TO CHANGE IT.
and isn’t that okay?
i love the way the site looks. and yeah, it’s annoying as hell to have to do this in html, but from what i saw with MT i’ll still have to insert html tags anyway so FUCK the MT. i don’t trust it! i don’t trust that it archives for you. but where does it save the archives? i know where my archives are now. why trust another program and another server?
i don’t like this. i don’t like this at all. my site has been fine for the last 3 years, i don’t see the need to change over to some kind of automated bullshit. in fact, i feel lucky that my site isn’t like that now.

i’m glad that my site isn’t a blogger page or a diaryland page or a livejournal page or whatever. and i’m not saying those are bad things, i realize that they are wicked convenient (because hey, free.) especially if you want to update your blog from different computers say, at work and then at home. i get it. i do. BUT. i don’t need that. i only update at home.

i am so grateful to jimmy and laura for making my site (years and years ago), ‘cos honestly if not for them, i wouldn’t have one now. i don’t know the first thing about websites and servers or anything. so honestly, i owe them for everything you see here.

i think it’s great as it is. so why change over to the MT? makes no sense. and i won’t do it. and i swear if you two move my cheese i’ll fold and we can just unplug this damn machine. i will not fucking sellout. i’m spoiled. i want laura’s designs…not prefab templates. i want jimmy’s brains. i don’t want to e-mail strangers with my dumbass questions.

so can we please not do this Moveable Type thing?
