Such, Such Are the Joys

I wrote several paragraphs' worth of unalloyed whining, apparently with the intent of letting everyone on my flist see them. On looking at them in the cold light of day, I've decided to just say that the post-unemployment depression has kicked in and leave it at that

Have you actually managed to already think of 101 things to do? I can't even manage to think of 100 things to do before I die, let alone in 1001 days.

It would be very interesting to see how you progress, though. :) Even if you keep some of the things hidden.

[shake_the_stars]

I've thought of 99 things to do, and I can come up with a 100th without stretching myself too hard. It's the pesky 101st that's killing me.

You can have fun mocking me for my lack of resolve ;)

One option would be to keep the list itself private and just discuss the achievement of the ones you're happy to talk about publicly :)

[shake_the_stars]

Ooh. I bet you'd never figure out all 101 things then! ;)

I've considered that, too, but at the same time, I kind of don't want to shut everyone out completely. I know I get annoyed if I'm reading someone's journal and they're making reference to events that are obviously beyond my ken ;)

[augustuscaesar]

You must get annoyed by my journal a lot in that case. And then un-annoyed when I finally get around to making a filtered post explaining WHY exactly I've been mooning around *g*

[shake_the_stars]

Nah, I understand t4r45p33k by now, so the elucidation is usually helpful rather than unannoying *g*

Incidentally, you sent me something that came today! Huzzah! :D

ha! I started the 101 things in 1001 days thing and well, Im doing it in a very lydia way.
I never finished the list. I don't remember when I started, but every once and a while, I look at it, cross off the stuff I already did, and write more things on it that I want to do. *shrug* occationally I'll delete things I no longer want to do. like getting Ian to the states because I know it will never happen, nor am I as interested in getting him here as he is no longer my bf.

[shake_the_stars]

That is typically Lydian :D I have to have start and end points, being fairly stodgy and fond of routine, because a never-ending list would drive me nuts. Also limiting stuff makes me think about what's important to me, so. :D

Well, that's fair enough. No sense in working overtime to bring your not-bf here. ;)

Also, I still owe you some green paper and yak patties, and will get on this when I have some green paper of my own and can give you some.

Happy birthday this week, and good luck getting things done, in list form or not.

Thanks! :D
