I'm sorry, sealwhiskers: I didn't mean to imply the plaintive "nobody liiiiikes me!" -- just to emphasize the predictability, the sheer tedium and blatant telegraphing of conscious intent, that sang through to me when I went through the archives.

We have some gobsmackingly beautiful friends here who portray the most wonderful thoughts in the gentlest ways, with the lightest of touches. I know I am who I am, but I do wish some days I were someone a little less... besmitten by the illusion of control, I suppose?

This actually plays into a recent Facebook status, wherein I expressed the cruel irony of not being able to complete a Facebook post on the quest for understanding / difficulty of being understood. I wrote this LJ post the same night as that ill-fated attempt, so the question of "How best to communicate self?" was especially present at the time.

Apologies again for the misunderstanding!
