bofoddityFor those who were wondering, the last night's post was a result of frustration with school and work things, ear infections that will apparently haunt me forever and bad judgment. I locked it away from further embarrassing me.
However, it and the entire Three Weeks thing made me realize something: Whether it's on LJ or DW, I still have no clue what exactly I want to use my journal for.
Back when I first came to LJ my purpose was to use it for posting fic, and I made the choice to not use it for anything personal. And this was fine for a while and all, except that I ended up as rather personality-free in the process, and now that I want to be more open as a person I have no idea how to actually do it. How to be me after being a non-person for so long? Right now my main method is being me is posting about things that enrage me, but I have other thoughts and feelings too. (Seriously. I swear, cranky isn't my only state of mind!) I also have the issue of being naturally very robot-like when it comes to self-expression, which of course isn't very entertaining. And I'd like to be fun to be around.
So there was your daily dose of navel-gazing angst. Here, have a sweet little Single Ladies-parody.
