identity crisis

Well I've got this far in the world of blogs and have survived to tell the tale.

I've created an avatar ( what kind of a word is that- enough to drive you to drink) ; I have a created a new identity which is great timing as I have just recently become comfortable with the one I have.

I have a yahoo address now with a password - just to add to the trillions of others that we seem to collect.

I've created a blog and created another new name. My gemini personality really is enjoying this versatility. I've fought with blogspot to get one close to the one I chose but blogspot seemed to only want a double entendre.

So here I am writing my first post and hope to hell that it is what is needed
I tried to add a smiley and I was disallowed- what kind of a world is this ?
