i think people are too concerned with what other people think about their LJ's. granted anyone who wants to can read your lj, your lj is for you and if you like it boring then don't stop because you are afraid of what others might think.
i personally was never a big LJ'er'.
however after coming to China, i try to LJ everyday since i want to consistently have a record of my experiences here.
i know that many of my entires are uninteresting and maybe ppl are uninterested in reading them, but heck, i'm not here writing for your entertainment.
i'm writing for myself (although if you have something to say, by all means comment).
i don't wanna get too extreme with this because i don't wanna come off as this 'this is my LJ i can say what i want' etc. stuff.
some ppl complain that LJ is too public.
yeah it is, but you know what, i have nothing to hide.
i am who i am.
i don't care if it exposes me, my bad side etc.
if you are going to judge someone based on an LJ then that's you.
i personally don't care what you think about me.
(the truth is, i do care, but i just don't care enough to change what i write here so i can sound 'good' or 'smart' or _______ fill in the blank yourself.
i know i sound dumb a lot of times on my lj. too bad
on that note. this morning i didn't want to go to work.
instead i almost erased all my LJ entries.
instead i resisstted and went to work and left my entries.
i did however whip everything in sight with my belt.
haha.
i am psycho sometimes.
work was the same.
norbert is talking about offering me opportunities after the internship. mygoodness.
i've been there like 2 weeks?
am i super star or a stud?
you tell me.
also, i want to be able to write in here stuff and not have ppl think i'm having a ball in china.
lets get this straightened out once and for all.
china is not a ball.
granted, i am happy here with my family
it's not like i'm having fun all the time.
but my attitude has changed since the last time i was here in china.
i refuse to sulk and be angry (at least to a smaller degree) simply because it's an opportunity and all opportunities have sacrifices. sure i am sacrificing some stuff to be here, but at the same time i'm gaining some stuff as well.
my point is this.
i'm gonna be here for awhile.
i'm gonna gosh darn tootin try to look at thins positively and be upbeat about my stay here.
and why not?
anything less makes myself and those around me miserable, angry, sad, etc.
for the sake of all man kind...can't you ppl see this is why i am doing what i'm doing?!!!
it's to save the world.
but really, it's better to be optimistic than pessimistic and i'm trying to make the transition.
so please. try to understand and be nice?
ok thanks.
