Only click if you want to see... 232 different lines indicating who commented in my journal. There have apparently been 232 different people doing so! Yikes. And I talk to myself a _lot_, it looks like. ;)

Why would someone voluntarily taste something that another person has told them is nasty?

Anyone reading my journal have useful bits of info on Fibromyalgia? (I suspect the answer is 'yes') If so, go here, where tafkar has asked for info.



Quote kidnapped from dglenn's journal:

"The basic reality is that the risks that scare people
and the risks that kill people are very different"
--Dr. Peter M. Sandman



There's an interesting discussion going on in ladytabitha's journal. Start here, with yesterday's post and comments, and continue on here, with this morning's followup.

My own thoughts on the matter aren't concrete enough today to verbalize, except possibly that balance is needed in all things. However, I am a _very_ strong proponant for as complete honesty with one's self as possible (but don't overdo it and forget to _do_ things, as well as investigate one's brain and think about things), and honesty with others _for things they need to/ought to/might want to know_. Because it's quite literally not possible to tell another person _everything_, even with summaries. Sharing more is good, as well, but sharing what needs to be shared is, in my head, a must. Even if I do sometimes have trouble with it (but less than I used to!).

ladytabitha finds _very_ strange sites. Work safe, but not dirty-mind-safe:

Banana Guard

Um. My. My banana needs protection!

[edit: hmm. The dirty mood icon shouldn't look sad! I need to pick a new one...]

gigglefit'

Hmm. I use the phrase 'gigglefit', which I either stole from shadesong or created with the her help (I don't recall which), but most of you have never _seen_ me gigglefit.

Seriously, I do, in fact, laugh hard enough to (more or less) fall over laughing. At the very least, I end up on the floor, sometimes I really do just plain collapse (but not in a painful manner).

I should get someone to create video proof of this fact, because I'm told it's quite amusing to watch, as well as to experience.

Then again, the only piece of video used of me of the random bits of video created for our global company meeting was of me laughing. And I have _no_ idea what I was laughing about. I should see if it's possible for me to get a copy of that snippet, because it's amusing. :) (actually, I may have access to the entire thing. I should look)

M'kay. Just because I like having easy access to pictures of people spinning fire, I'm posting this and memorying it. :)

(what? I'm not _that_ obsessed with fire. Really!)

Oooh. One more in the ladytabitha contemplates anger and balance discussion - and the nifty thing to me is that she sounds a rather lot like I do when I'm trying to grab a hold of a new thought and it keeps running _away_.

Bad thought. Stay!

But, yeah. Not with the rationalization and/or ignoring of one's emotions and/or thoughts!

(good gods, I'm posting a lot this week! But I'm all cheery and stuff and stuff and stuff. More stuff thrown in for good measure!)

A very nice LJ metaphor pointed out to me by ladytabitha, written by magpiegeese.

As I commented, although probably not word-for-word because I rarely do _anything_ word-for-word, the most common reason for me to drop someone from my friends list is because their journal is painful for me too read. Too much pain, not enough joy. A mix is good - a mix makes people more real - but if they are always down, especially if they never seem to _do_ anything to change things, I cannot handle reading them. Doesn't matter if I know the person offline or not, although I will feel a little worse about dropping someone I know offline as apposed to someone I only know online.

(The other most common reason would be how interesting I find their writing as compared to how often they post. I'm not entirely sure I'd keep myself on my friends list, were I not me - I post a lot, and I'm not sure how much of that is particularly interesting to anyone not in my head. *shrug*)

Bits before I run off (hungry!):

ladytab's getting a GPG key! I loves email encryption, yes I do! (And no, I am not the reason she's getting it.)


Does it frighten anyone _else_ to contemplate the fact that, much as I post a whole hell of a lot, y'all are not getting _nearly_ as much as what's in my head? Sometimes I don't post because I don't feel like it's my place to talk about something (or, that I don't feel comfortable talking about something online and/or not in-person), sometimes I just don't think it's that interesting, sometimes it's still too uncertain. And sometimes, I just can't keep any thoughts in my head long enough to write them. Scary, huh?


'K. Go home now, I will. (ow! Bad body, stop with the weird digestion things today!)
