2:04 pm - end of the line
|
Cross-posted from Justamephit
My dears … I fear it has come to the end of the line.
What else is there to say?
Well, I suppose I owe you more than that, dear diary, but truly there is nothing more to say.
It just occurred to me, about half an hour ago actually, that I could stop. And not finding the thought overwhelmingly abhorrent, it came to seem like a good idea. Which is, in itself, I think, argument enough for stopping. Ye Gods, I sound like Tithonus.
I’ve been writing here for what feels like a long time. And my life trails behind me like a tail, gathering dust and dirt and dragging ever heavier. Yes, indeed, it’s time to stop.
I started writing because I wanted to remember. And I wanted to understand. Now I do understand, at least more than I did, and I rather want to forget. I’ve moved so far beyond who I was when first I started writing and along the way I’ve upset a lot of people with this in various ways, hopefully not maliciously but certainly heedlessly. And I think it’s time to stop hurting people with heedless words. Also I’ve become more conscious of audience than ever I intended. What began as a mirror has become just another reflection.
It’s time to cut myself free.
Thank you all.
I’m not sure if I will continue elsewhere, but if I do it will here.
See you on the other side ... maybe.

2:48 pm - the bitterness in my heart
|
Gifts To Francis
I know that I ought to be flattered when You give me your love and say it’s a gift But it’s rather like a Christmas at home Me, holding socks, trying not to look miffed.
What’s with this tawdry thing you call your love You hang it round me like an albatross It is the common cold of true romance: A gift that is to the receiver’s loss.
Your love is a department store voucher It’s a book I’ve got or won’t ever read Its candles, bathsalts and photograph frames: Meaningless tat I don’t want and don’t need.
I’m going to do what everyone does With the gifts left over on Boxing Day I’m scrunching it up and not feeling bad Because I’m throwing your damn love away.

Modern, Cool Nerd 69 % Nerd, 60% Geek, 26% Dork |
For The Record:
A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia. A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one. A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions. You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd.
Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)!
Congratulations!
Also, you might want to check out some of my other tests if you're interested in either of the following:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Professional Wrestling
Love & Sexuality

10:52 am - then we were 6
|
Just in case anyone reads here who does not read already Will (unlikely, considering I spent significantly less time on LJ than I do on Diaryland), here is the visual detritus of Now We Are Six. Check out my digital camera wielder skillz. Or lack thereof.
There was A Party, mainly characterized by a lack of floor space.
There was jelly mainly characterized by being damnably weird on account of having been made at the last minute without vodka and in the freezer.
There were Deeply Adorable Frews.
There were also Breathtaking Beautiful Benders.
There were some people who are definitely not having a threesome. Oh no.
There was a Hobbitboy who looks rather like the handiwork of a skilled taxidermist in that photo.
There was Lovely Sam.
And, as usual, my boyfriend and my best friend Flirting It Up like the tarts they are.

5:25 pm - Birthday Favours (from Other Mephit)
|
It is my birthday on Friday. Woo hoo.
Having been promised a birthday kiss from Wednesday, I have decided that I would like sexual favours please. With this in mind I have a designed a handy form so people can present their gifts with the minimum of inconvenience. Please give generously.
(If you happen to live another country, never fear. I intend to travel widely when I am rich enough to be able to afford it and so will redeem any favours then.)
current mood: silly

God, my College Bingo score is pathetic. Utterly pAthEtic. But in my defence, instead of kissing a lot of people, I’ve kissed a select group of people lots. So there.

Self-awareness is like looking in a mirror and watching your reflection do stupid things. Okay, that's it for my words of wisdom today.
