I'm better about leaving long comments than I am about posting, though recently I've even seen myself start comments and then just erase them because they get too long or go on tangents. Hopefully if I can keep this up I'll be more lj-involved in general!
I love your posts, btw. They always say something slightly new to me ;o)
I have a million things I could post about, but don’t, because it will take too long....Yes and thrice yes. I have the same problem: too many higglety-pigglety thoughts and not enough time or oompf to get them all down in coherent order, much less respond to everybody else who might come out to play. I can nail my habits to a couple of newish circumstances -- my 8-5 job and my roomie. The former means my time is more regimented, and I have fewer big chunks of it for just sitting and thinking and making, and the latter means I talk the poor woman's ears off at dinner instead of saving it up for lj like I used to

Roomies are great ;o) I do think part of the reason I post less is if I have anything I really need to get out I can say it to my_daroga.
But yeah, I miss getting other POVs, and talking to lj people, and you :o)
I often feel like a long, thoughtful post deserves a long, thoughtful answer My problem is sometimes I come up with long thoughtful answers whether posts are long or not, or whether anything deserves it or not. Sometimes I can't come up with anything short and pithy to save my life! But I'm actually better about keeping comments down to reasonable lengths, and making them, than I am about posting. I've been known not to reply at all a time or two because I have too much to say, though. It's true with fic I do feel the need to make very involved comments, but I haven't been reading much fic lately
( ... )
I used to be the same way, worrying that it was an indulgence to post or talk about myself rather than writing or doing things that need to get done or Watching Important Things, but I've gotten into the habit of emailing a friend every day and just blah blahing for like 5 pages and it's such a great release.
Anyway, you seem like an intelligent person and I'd love to read your thoughts on fanfic, writing and life in general. :))
It's called "Touch". It's one of the best things ever. It was never released in America, and the version we are watching is subtitled by fans. I don't actually like baseball (I can see from your icon you might have a thing for it). I find it quite dull. But this makes me love it, and everything associated with it, times a million. It's about these twin boys; one is a slacker and one is the golden boy. The thing is, slacker!boy is better at everything, but won't try, for various reasons all gradually revealed and never expressed. Meanwhile, golden boy works his ass off (mostly at baseball, but everything else, too) in order to be even half as good as his brother. Then there's this girl they grew up with that they both want. Who is the baseball manager! And she always studies with golden boy and teases slacker boy about being lazy. And there's all this unspoken TENSION. And then the plot twist in ep 25 or so which changes the whole thing in a very daring, unexpected way. OMG

Which is why lj is great, because people do not find it weird here that I actually have very few things to say about Real Life!
Yes! My posts about RL are usually two line observations about what someone just said at work. :)
