Look ma! I'm published!

[blustocking]

I miss my journal. This isn't honesty. This isn't purging. If I stay true to my nature and post what I feel by being vague, then people will read into it. Perhaps I should preface every entry with "If you think this is about you, it isn't."...even if it is.
This place is just a giant orgy of ego-stroking and reassurance, and I am no exception.
We are messy little creatures.

I should post really hateful, true to the bone things and see who drops me.

I just had a 5 minute conversation with someone who was worried about being dropped from our Danni mailing list when he switches ISP's. Shoot me now.

i like my LJ for entertainment :D 'cause i end up writing most of it when i'm bored at work and we've run out of paperwork to do for the moment. anyone who walks by my desk can read it, so it's not like i want to write stuff in it that is such a huge deal. "serious" entries do no good when i want levity to get me through a long shift. they're boring as hell.

i don't think people need to explain themselves in their livejournals. they don't owe their audience anything, so why not just write what they want? if it gets too annoying you can always disable the comments feature! it gets sticky when you want to say something about someone else, and then it's a matter of knowing what the consequences might be. i haven't had a problem with that but obviously it's gotten ugly in some other LJs that i've read.

i'm paranoid. even if my LJ is friends-only i still think anyone could read it. i wouldn't write shit there that hasn't been already dealt with or said to someone's face. what wierds me out sometimes is when people have LJ fights and they have the ignorance to wonder why they can't work their problems out.
