"Rude Food" and Too Many Choices

Oct 10, 2007 01:00

For the inner twelve year old within us all, this is an old site I dug up out of bookmarks I imported from the Win98: Rude Food.

It hasn't been updated since 2004, but cheap larfs are hard to find sometimes.

I don't worry about having a regionless DVD player, since I've got software on my computer that can obfuscate region information. I'm not going to worry about high definition DVDs either, at least until everybody either agrees on a format or stops buying regular DVDs, which I don't think is going to happen any time soon.

You say you're not naturally sociable or extroverted, and yet you write the longest and most verbose blog entries I've ever read. (I don't mean that to be offensive; your posts are always interesting.) I myself am unnaturally shy to the point of having people question whether I've got an autistic disorder, and yet of all of my friends who blog, I'm the one who writes the long, opinionated rants that are liberally peppered with curse words. Is there some inverse relationship between introversion and the desire to spend hours blogging on LiveJournal?

I can fake extroversion for a while, but at the end of the day, I am worn out dealing with others, not energized, thus a true introvert.

I think that being taciturn but still thinking a lot means you need an outlet of some kind. I talk very little in real life, generally speaking, but read and ponder all the time. When my blog gets quiet, I've probably had a conversation offline that day (or am busy).

So, sure, maybe there IS a connection of some sort!

Though you seem to imply that your blog style is different from your natural chatting style. I supposedly talk like I write. Go figure.

I also don't spend hours writing; I type pretty rapidly. It's a blessing and a curse. :)

I envy you that. I can't type in a constant stream of words, I have to stop and re-read and erase and backtrack. It takes me forever to write a LiveJournal post, which I guess is why I don't do it very often these days.

I don't write the way I speak at all. This got me into a lot of trouble in college, as my professors expected me to be as outspoken and opinionated as the columns I wrote in the school newspaper. And then I'd sit quietly in class, unable to put two coherent words together.

I do run into the occasional homonym problem, because I do write as I speak, thus "our/are" and "an/and" get screwed (however, NEVER "you're your", *gasp*!) so I have to do a spot check. I must say "our" and "are" similarly when I am in a hurry. How embarrassing ( ... )
