Tag, you're it!
Updated: 1/2/12
I've been using tags to sort my entries for nearly a year now. With some tags, namely the more personal ones, I've tagged all the way back to the inception of this journal. Other tags, like the fandom tag, only cover the more recent entries, but will be used from this point forward. But, for my reference, and for anyone who might be curious, a pocket-sized guide to this journal's common tags.
It should be noted that the more personal the topic, the more likely the posts are to be friends-locked, filtered, or private.
BPAL:: Anything concerning my current obsession with Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab.
Care Package Swap:: I host a yearly care package swap in the fall, usually in September.
Contact Info:: My address and cell number. Accessible only if you are on my friendslist.
Dancing:: Posts about swing, ballroom, and bellydance, or related topics.
Dramallama:: Any sort of drama or wank that occurs on my journal or in any of the communities I frequent.
Family:: Self explanatory.
Fandom:: Things relating to my fannish interests.
Friends:: Memories and things relating to the wonderful people who keep me sane.
Funny:: Amusing anecdotes, links, and oddities.
Further Tales of the Dildo Thief:: If it's something stupid that my sister has said or done, it's on this tag.
FWA:: Any post containing my horoscope from Free Will Astrology.
Headspace:: This is my general "getting it all out" tag-- the posts tend to be more introspective, me working things out through writing.
Health:: Self explanatory.
Kittens:: The kittens are Olive, Nox, and Mim. This is a tag all about my three furchildren.
J:: Of or relating to my husband, Jason.
Labyrinthitis:: I get bouts of Labyrinthitis, which my friends lovingly call the "David Bowie disease." While it does not cause me to spontaneously grow a gigantic penis, it does give me prolonged dizzy spells and overall weakness. I use this to keep track of the occurrences for medical purposes.
Makeup:: I like playing with makeup-- this makes it easy for likeminded people to find my thoughts on specific products.
Memes:: Quizzes, questionnaires, and the like. All about me! Me!
Mike:: Things relating to Mike, an ex-boyfriend.
OMGWTF:: Oh My God, What The Fuck?? If it's frustrating and flabbergasting, it goes here. Bush rants, Scientology, bad flan.
Pagan:: Posts that have to do with my spirituality or the Pagan community in general.
Pictures:: If it contains photographic evidence, it's on this tag.
Politics:: Isn't this self-explanatory? I guarantee a lot of overlap with "OMGWTF?"!
Pride:: Posts containing GLBTQ (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, & Questioning) rights issues, or GLBTQ themes in general.
Relationships:: Relationships other than those that have their own tag, or thoughts on relationships in general.
Retail:: Pretty! Shiny! Want!
Sexuality:: Most of these are highly filtered-- it's immensely helpful in that it lets me express the more mature feelings that come with relationships with a group of open-minded people whom I trust.
Sihaya Designs:: Relating to my Etsy shop. Often overlaps with Jewelry Pictures.
Skyler:: Thank God I will never use this tag again.
That P Word:: That P Word is 'Privilege.' A social justice tag.
Womens' Voices:: A new tag to discuss feminist issues, and how womens' experiences differ from mens'. This is by no means meant to be anti-man, though many posts will deal with anger at sexist objectification, degradation, anti-woman and sexualized violence, and gender privilege.
Writing:: Most of these are private-- it's my way of keeping track as my writing evolves. Public posts are book reviews and the like.
