not very cheerful

Just some stuff...

I went and looked at people's LJs and felt a bit low. It's really hard to keep up - not just posting your own but reading your friends. I've got MySpace now, and have to keep up with that too...

I've got two 'bugs'. One is where I think someone is ignoring me (insert rational thought here). The other is just people...someone...where I feel sad because we've drifted out of touch. And again, I just felt really low - you know, these things pile up in your mind, Stephen calls it a 'list'. He just says, look people have got busy lives, not everyone else spends all their time glued to the computer...

And I should be writing. I have got to do lots more this year. There's much less excuse. The trouble is, I keep feeling so knackered (like now). I'm looking at my friends posts and then LJ takes so long to load and I'm really tired - and all I want to do is say a few words, yoohoo I did read your post.

I'm not going to go on about it.

Ah, ptooey. Stephen is right, and LJ *does* take a lot of time, and me, I miss commenting on tons of posts because I'm just not looking often enough to catch everything before it moves off the first-20-entries friends page.

You need a hug. {{{here's one}}}

Thanks, Cynthia. I had a low moment and Mr Paranoia popped into my head. Boing. I think I feel...well...responsible. I guess that's OCD. :P The trouble is, I've got three blogs on the go, though MySpace is - oh, unbelievably annoying, albeit I have met some jolly nice people there too. There's also the Write Fantastic blog to mind. But what you say is exactly right. Blink and you miss it! O.o

I agree with Sedens. It's hard to keep up with LJ / MySpace and have time to write, too. Don't worry about it so much. Do what you do and comment when you feel inspired to and go on with life.

Life does knock you on your behind on a regular basis, which makes it hard to get the energy to write anything creative. Creative takes energy and life sucks it right out of you. Or at least out of me. =P

*Huggles joo!* Hope you feel better soon!

I'm much more normal (er, whassat?) today. But yes, spent a lot of yesterday lying around splatted - guess why? Time of the Month!

I always read your posts, but I don't always comment because often I don't have nuffink either witty, original or useful to say! What I find daunting about LJ is the way everyone else is always so interesting, and my life is so much the same old same old same old, chiz. (Have you read the Molesworth books by Searle and Willans? When I'm feeling down I read them, or Discworld, or Diana Wynne Jones's 'Tough Guide to Fantasyland,' which is a scream.)

Have a big hug, and lots of positive writerly thoughts from this very middle-class corner of Hertfordshire. It's a place where everyone, but everyone, my dear, and not simply hairdressers, considers Big Brother the best thing on tv. Except me: but I'm known to be odd. After all, I read that funny fantasy stuff. Honestly, round here you're thought more odd if you read fantasy books than if you're a Trekkie! And the next person who refers to SF as 'Sci Fi' is going to be reprogrammed with a shovel...

Keep smiling: it annoys the crap out of everyone else!

- love, Maggie

Hi Maggie,
I feel quite ashamed of that post yesterday. Stephen told me off (in a nice way) because I do just forget that everybody else has lots of other stuff going on! And as I said to Cynthia above, it was cue visit from Mr Paranoia (chiz curses)

I love Molesworth. I could insert a long digression here about my friend Tim and his Citroen Ami (now long since gone to meet its maker (pardon me while I remove an errant apostrophe from its LOL).
"The mighty engine roar into life!" he would say, as its two cylinders coughed feebly.

I feel just the same about commenting. Sometimes I just don't have anything between the ears...

love

Belated extra comment: no need to feel ashamed about that post! I, too, have been at home to Mr Paranoia lately (and Ms Menopause, who is a right bitch at times) and it was comforting to know that I'm not alone.

love - M

I know, cbm...I seem to be reverting to Volks rather a lot. Right now, I'm having a Boy influx - Yuda and Williams. Mercy sent me a great outfit for Yuda, which has been detained by customs (mutter mutter). Williams is going to need a name when he gets here.

(hugs too)^^

Yeah LJ takes a lot of time!
Its ok I do not keep score at all on who posts, how often and who does not, but I do feel guilty if I dont comment for a couple of days.
There ARE so many dolls out now but as of this moment there is nothing I am tempted to buy. I am trying to save up for the Volks Tea in NYC, perhaps there will be a one off or a new doll there.
Cheer up!
