flexagonI feel all self-conscious today because of a discussion yesterday about how to balance one's LJ. Does one just provide opinions? Turn it into a humor column? Talk about your own life and nothing else? Sigh. It doesn't help that I know I can write better than I usually bother to do in this forum... sure, I could turn this into a poem-a-day journal, or a book review journal, or an opinion column, or make it witty-observations-only. But then it would become an obligation, yes, another one. Ugh. Added to this feeling is my enjoyment of reading about other people's lives as a better substitute for reality TV--I can only assume other people like to do the same. So, while I may do some experimenting with other styles in the near future, and I'm willing to take requests, I think I'm going to stick largely with events, venting, and thoughts sparked mostly by events.
I left work early yesterday to show the old apartment to a girl, and she seemed to really like it. Fingers are crossed! And then I got to entertain![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bluechromis, jg26 and hiddenbear, which was quite fun and gave me a chance to study the social dynamics of the living rooms(s) and kitchen. As I had hoped, nobody even tried to linger awkwardly in the middle room! Ha ha, our nefarious tactics worked. It made me happy. We did such a much better job of directing flow in this place than the last place. :) Oh yes, and I had a great time hanging out, coming clean about my growing body-type snobbery, and discussing the discussion of masturbation. Having guests who wash dishes was just a ridiculous amount of icing on the cake.
Post-hangout, I called my lonely bug and talked to him for a long time. I don't blame him for wanting to talk so much--he's travelling alone so there's nobody to eat dinner with, and there's not much within walking distance of his hotel. I did bring up the topic of letting some or all of last night's guests watch my TKD test next week but not inviting him, and he was instantly understanding of the issue. What a wonderful guy. I've been doing so much better performing in front of the teacher, even alone, lately, that it might not be a problem anyway, but that's a topic for another post. So, lots of bug-talk, and then sleeping like the dead (but not for nearly as long).
Talk about an incentive to stop browsing and get to work--I've had the worst problems with my browser in the last week than ever before. I have popups that the Google toolbar doesn't catch and that Ad-aware isn't finding the cause of... that my suspicious combing through my running processes isn't helping with and my increased IE security options aren't doing a thing for. *groan* I thought if I rebooted and never went to that stupid acne forum again, my problems would be over, but no. GRRRR!
