Wasn't I supposed to be spending less time here?

[edg]

This was spawned from an abortive comment on demiurgent's last post. I figured that, like so much of what I've had to say recently, it would just be boring to the people reading Eric's journal who have no idea who I am and who really don't give a flying fuck at a rolling donut about my hangups, so I'm posting it here, where all of you can not give the same

Comments

I honestly appreciate oppositional comments on my journal. They are the entire point of the dialectic process. I like arguing with my friends overall, and I hope that my responses don't come across as negative.

I honestly wasn't talking about that discussion at all. The "not speaking because I'm afraid of being shouted down or ignored" thing has kind of been a theme for me today, and I figured I'd get it out in the open.

[fadethecat]

I can understand that. I usually end up babbling anyway, because I'm chatty like that, but a lot of the time I get halfway through a comment, realize it's just not going to come out as well as I want, and I'm not sure if this person has me friended, and do they really want comments from me anyway, and what if I'm missing some detail that makes what I'm saying sound stupid and...yeah.

(And then I feel guilty about it because I know that I'll roll over and beg for a few more "Hey, nice!" comments on my latest bit of fic, so.)

Something like this happens to me on pyramid all the damn time.

I post something, and nobody responds. Two days later, somebody else posts essentially the same thing, and gets blowjobs and candy.

WTF?

Somebody get me MY blowjobs and candy.

[songquake]

Okay, well, feel free to post novels of no particular consequence in MY journal, because I adore getting comments, regardless of how pithy they may or may not be. SO THERE.

Also, LMAO @ chadu... "Somebody get me MY blowjobs and candy."

Is that why you didn't "save" the spookester and me when we were writing a song?

I thought it was because you simply hadn't seen it.

So it goes.

Actually, in that case I really hadn't seen it. I saw the initial post, didn't have anything to add, and didn't realize that there was a later comment thread that invoked me...
