So I've been checkin' out this live journal stuff, readin' the thoughts of others and wondering if I could keep up with something like this. I've never been great at keeping consistent journals. Its all too typical for me to get excited about something like this, keep up with it for about two days, and then get consumed by everything else that

A few thoughts at a time

[yellawhim]

One reason my journals have often been overwhelming is because i'm trying to catch the whole world at a time. It's pages and pages and pages and i run out of time and energy. I go on this one a few words at a time. The best for me are those moments in the hotel room just before I go to bed. I catch some reflections on the day. Leslie likes that morning coffee hour and her lunch break the best. You just might find you're able to do this. What motivates me is the different type of communication I have with some friends. Here's a thought I might not have shared otherwise.

It's also neat to get comments. Tell me if it doesn't motivate you some.

And if you get excited for a few days and then slack, so be it. You can always come back at any time.

Hi. You probably know more about me than I do aobut you. I just caught on to your presence here, and it feels good to know I'm spreading LJ around to unsuspecting souls. You'll find yourself addicted in no time. Sometimes I wonder if this all access pass into the minds of your friends is safe or not, but I think it's a nice medium to express myself. I never get enough comments.

sneering and responses...

I chose this to respond to because I think Jen deleted the thread we had going about sneering and selling out, and stuff. I realize how badly I communicate when i read that someone inferred the opposite of my intent. Not only do I not think you're nseering at me, I wrote what I did to assure you I was not sneering at you, and that you had fostered no small amount of respect for you. Smile, relax, and know that your live journal postings reflect well upon you in the eyes of a stranger.

Dude, its all good. I will apologize for some of my initial reactions to your statements. Miscommunication or not, I'll admit that my emotions drove some of those comments ... I can be impulsive in my responses sometimes. But while I say that, I'd also like to say that that part of me is the part that's trying to be real with myself, in the moment. I've probably gotta rethink how to do that and be civil at the same time.
