Blog Party
If you are confused about my usernames, read this and become even more confused.

Okay, so, my Tumblr blog. Right?

I’m Jenny Young. And my default blog has been jenny-young.tumblr.com

And THIS blog is jennyyoung.tumblr.com

The reason for this is when I first signed up for tumblr I didn’t understand it. I had a blog called Text Messages From My Mom (When Parents Text? Pshh. I totally thought of that shit first) and the username was Momtexts. Then I forgot about the blog and abandoned it.

Then I decided I wanted to use Tumblr like a real person so I created another blog under the same email, which is the jennyyoung tumblr you are reading right now. And I started posting under it. And I followed people. It was fun.

Then people started following me, and I realized that it was confusing for them when they tried to follow me back after I followed them, and the other way, too,  because I posted under a different name than the one that came up as me following. And I couldn’t switch which blog was my default. And it was horrible.

Then I realized you can change the username for each blog! But I had already been using THIS blog for so long that I couldn’t just switch to the other one. So I changed the name of the other one to jenny-young in an attempt to make things less confusing.

They are still confusing.

But I just changed the name of the other one AGAIN, (now it’s fakejennyyoung,) in anticipation of a new Tumblr project, which might be really boring.

I’m going to use it to post my writing, (because my intentions have always been to be a REAL LIVE writer) and just generally boring stuff that isn’t really in the spirit of Blog Party (the title of this blog.)

So anyway. That’s my long and boring, diluted, confusing story about Tumblr names. I will let y’all know when fakejennyyoung (but it’s really me!) starts writing things.
