Bambu

Spring is sprung and the grass is green, the roses have begun to bud, and the trees are recovering from the very cold winter.

I haven't used this site much as I really loathed the inflexibility of the layout, but I've discovered that some changes have happened, and I was able to personalize my layout a bit.  I'm much happier with it, and I've decided to occasionally leave a comment here.

I'm not sure that Vox will ever quite take the place of Live Journal, because I'm not a fan of the My Space style, but still, this seems to be a middle of the road version at the moment.

I wish you all well.

I love Autumn.  I love the smell of lush ripeness as the earth's bounty is harvested and the earth begins to shed its clothes for the naked joys of winter.  I love the crisp, cool air as I long for rambling walks in the neighborhood, the park, along the shore.  In many ways, this is my favorite season of the year. 

I trust you're all well.

Otherwise, I"m attempting to get used to this site.  It's not easy for me.  I'm so visually oriented I keep hoping Vox will update their layouts to something I can actually like.  This is supposed to be a more 'adult' site, but the layouts aren't particularly sophisticated.  In fact, if I were to label them it would be 'cutesy.'  I don't think of cutesy as anything but juvenile or sophomoric.

Perhaps this is a little harsh... but there you have it.  I'm an illustration/graphic snob!   ::glances through my extensive image collection::

Yep... an icon snob.

I must be a bit of a control freak because I want to adjust the color, ever so slightly... because this is a little bland, but there's nothing else I like better.

::waves::

Okay, so one thing I don't like about Vox so far is that I can't use different icons for my posts.  I'm such an icon fiend... and I use them to enhance my point or express my moods.  A serious drawback as far as I'm concerned!

Since this is supposed to be the adult version of live journal (but looks an awful lot like my children's My Space,) I thought a pretentious subject line was appropriate!

I got the invitation to join this morning.  Then when I saw Bunney, Moreteadk, and Britt already on... I followed lemming-like into the fray.

I really hope for more customizable layouts in the future... but I can appreciate a beta-version in the making!
