Flogging a Dead Horse

Oct 11, 2003 05:06

Well, it's midnight now, and given that most of a continent stands betwixt our respective homes, it looks like I'm not going to get to take prolixfootle up on his offer of sharing some of those tasty-sounding steaks *stomach rumbles hungrily* for a snack, so I guess I will just have to settle for horsemeat. It's okay, I feel like beating a dead horse right ( Read more... )

I completely missed this and only found the link to it in your other entry. I had no idea you were married. You are somewhat enigmatic, for sure.

I'm glad you liked the hugs 'n' slugs. I never thought of it that way, but it's apt, isn't it? It describes how different people react to other people's pain and how each tries to "cheer up" the afflicted.

I'm not really sure what to say about your relationship with Crystal, so I will instead ask that you spell my user name correctly in the future. ;)

Looks like you and the footle are dealing with somewhat similar circumstances. My best goes out to you both.

Sorry about the spelling thing. I throw myself on the mercy of the court and have only one thing to say in my defense. I was feeling very tired and wrung out after writing that and my proof-reading suffered. When I posted and LJ didn't recognize the tag as an invalid user (someone here must spell their handle like that) I didn't think anything of it. I suppose I shall have to edit it now and fix the links.

Yeah, Footle and I could have an interesting time comparing notes, except that I haven't really been ready to do that, until now. I hope to finish answering your question (the "when did she go" part) perhaps this weekend, and possibly get clear on why I have such an outrageous time until now even discussing it. Thanks for the comment.

I was just teasing about the spelling. Leave it. :)

Whenever you're ready. It's your journal, put in it what you like. I just like to ask questions and frankly, yours are some of the most thoughtful comments because you spend so much time thinking about them and trying to convey your opinions, etc. Do what you will - we'll keep reading regardless. xo

Okay, I fixed the spelling. Sorry about that again. Sometimes I need to pay attention, instead of just renting it. Yes, it needed fixing because the the misspelling was someone else's user tag, I think, because LJ accepted the misspelled tag, and it shouldn't have if there was no such user. Actually, I know there is such a user -- check him out: morganus. He's a Pokemon addict, not very much like you at all. : )

As for the post itself, you missed it because I back-dated it, as I explained to prolixfootle. It needed proofread, as you discovered, but I wanted its posting time to reflect its context, and that's why it probably scrolled off everyone's page.

I am an enigma? Isn't everyone? It's all part of the human condition, isn't it? Of course, you were possibly implying that I am more enigmatic than most. If you did mean that, I'm curious: how so? If it's just the complications you're commenting on, believe me, I know, and you have no idea of the half of it. I'm trying to hammer them out right about now. I'm on a crash-course of self-worth ( ... )
