I came up with something to post this morning on Facebook, but I was reluctant, just because I really don't want to filter it, and I know there would be some off-topic nonsense that I don't have the time today to monitor

I think I've shared more of myself in many different ways via Idol than I ever have IRL or elsewhere online, my own LJ excepted.
I've noticed a difference now vs. then when I'm playing.
Then: I laid bare my soul, no holds barred. A lot of it was fueled by what was happening IRL...when the IRL stuff started evaporating, I noticed my writing gradually becoming less emotionally charged in that it was still charged, but it wasn't running willy-nilly all over the place.
Now: I still lay bare my soul in some ways but it's nowhere near as emotionally charged. For better or worse I'm more conscious of framing, phrasing, polishing, editing. I don't know if it's a product of Idol-As-It-Is-Now or my own awareness in that should a piece of me-as-Kizzy escape into the world, it can be tied back to RL Me. It's probably a combination of both. I don't like this "consciousness" one bit because it stifles me, which in turn ties into a lot of my own thinky thoughts about me and writing in general.
It's not on FB yet, but my very sick student died just this morning. He's no longer suffering, and he was, but it's sad. I've never lost a current student before.
On the up side my Duzzy1 (daughter), finished exams w flying colors. It's a bittersweet day. 😢 and 😀

Many, many things.
