It's amazing how much you can find out about a person and yet still not know by reading their journal...It's always a funny mix of innermost thoughts and utter bull-shit and often very difficult to tell what is what...
Theres a mix on here of thoughts, experiences...and some things that seem to be bullshit in retrospect but were felt at the time.
and one or two things that were me getting out a version of events as i *wish* it had happened instead of how it *did* happen, and in putting down felt like once the possibility had been explored, it could be fully discounted...but generally those are private.
A perfect description of just about everybody's journals. The content can be completely different, but the basic structure is always the same...
But you probably don't want musings on the psycological reasoning/structure of journal writing, and I don't think that's what I set out to say...But that's always the way it turns out...
Thats a generalisation that is so...blunt...and so........I dont know how to say it, but it shits me.
Muse all you like, but dont make a generalisation like "the basic structure is always the same" when its simply not true. At least not here. Now I should probably back up *my* statement there...but i'm pressed for time. Granted, there are lots of groups/sub groups, even "profiles" of "types of journal writers" but.....
*shrugs* i'm going out, and i'm not running late for this.
I don't really know what I meant, or at least not how to express it...And the moment I pressed "Post Comment" I realised what I had written was so far from what I meant to say that I probably shouldn't've tried at all, and that I probably wouldn't be able to explain what I'd meant...
The main problem with being an annonymous commenter, however, is that you don't have the luxury of deleting stupid or potentially misleading comments...
I'm not going to try and explain what I meant, I'm just going to say that what I wrote isn't it.
I was thinking, after i'd calmed down a bit, and realised that if a journals running long enough, and runs the gamut of expressions, from sadness, to wistfullness, inventiveness, "fictional posts (the what if's)"...etc...then it may appear that journals between would share a spectrum of forms of expression...but not structure.
Perhaps this is what you meant?
Oh, and i'm running late anyway, but its not your or my fault.
I tried to reply to this once, but it told me that my IP address was listed as a common source of spam...so I'm not sure if it got through...if it did *shrug* ignore this...If it didn't...I don't know...
Anyway, this is really just a test to see if my IP address is eternally blacklisted from LJ, or at least your journal, or if it was a once off thing...or whatever...

If any of that makes sense.
