Getting on Track

Being really busy lately means pretty much forgetting about everything that wasn't directly related to school work, including books I wanted to read, art I wanted to do, and many things related to the web.   But since I've managed to get in somewhat of a rhythm lately (and finished almost all of my work for the next few days) I decided it was time to try and revisit  this place that I had such wonderful intentions for, mainly this place.


Since I've had a little more time I've been trying to get into everything again and the first thing I leapt back into was my netflix account, mainly for the purpose canceling it.   Now I have my reasons including the fact that I don't watch enough things on it to keep paying for it, but mainly because I had finally talked my mother into getting one to go along with the new blue-ray player they bought for the household.   I was smart about this though, I waited out my month so I wouldn't waste the one I had paid for and watched more movies to last out the month.

So the time had finally come to add the family account instead of the old one....... Now I see a problem that really should be addressed soon, and from what I'm reading it should be happening sometime.

My problem is this: there are four members in my immediate family who are going to be using the same netflix account and we each have our own preferences that aren't going to mix well together.   My mother, who's the account holder, likes suspense and fairy-tales.  My unemployed father likes to watch cooking and hunting while he's fixing something that isn't broken.   Younger brother likes to watch stupid shows that he's not supposed to and comedy.  While I enjoy horror, Disney, and big gay musicals (anyone who gets this references deserves a cookie).   See my point?   My mom already said she doesn't want a bunch of horror and bloody movies showing up every time she wants to look for something to watch, and I know her well enough to know she doesn't want to know about my love of gay love.

To try and find a way to solve all of the questions in my head that were wondering how I can fix this problem I did what many people do, I googled it.... To my surprise I thought I found something that would work.... but of course my dreams were crushed when I realized, of course, that the family sharing that used to exist was canceled and it seemed that I would be doomed to look for some movies online and not the convenient netflix...  But further on down the page I found a more recent article that stated that netflix was planning on creating a way to make different profiles for members of a family sharing the same netflix account.   My hopes are brought back!!

I'm hoping that this will be brought about soon, and have enough common sence to them that they are easy to use and will stay permanently as a tool for netflix users to make their viewing better.   Hopefully making separate queues won't be all for this upgrade.


Hoping this get better soon,
Samantha
