I love Space Ghost saying "If you don't know who I am, your childhood was a disaster."

... by fishtankbabe at DA, so I thought I'd copy it here.

I apologize I haven't been posting anything of much interest lately (if I ever do). Getting ready for Halloween and my boss's retirement barbecue has just made me feel exhausted lately, even though I was not even doing a fraction of the work (the committee let me off the hook a bit because I'm the only one with school age little kids). I think I may be working under some low level depression at the moment as well, whether because of being sad for things happening to other people or the time of year, or I'm just a Type D personality (according to the quiz there I am - or is it just my Aspergian traits?). The anniversary of my mom's birth and death have once again passed and I'm feeling a little guilty I haven't commemorated it more, other than a phone call between my brother and I. I meant to post something to momlessdaughter recently; I haven't even looked in there in some time. Plus other things I feel guilty about. I can take steps to remedy some of those though, and I shall do that as soon as I get home.

Because I have no brain right now...

Hmm. I don't have a "friends policy," really. I'm ecstatic when someone adds me. I care not how often you update, or how often you comment. Unless you're a total ass, what you say in your posts causes me to care about you, whether I've met you or not, whether you comment or not. I tend to leave people on my list whether they drop me later or not; its my way of keeping in touch and knowing you're ok, unless the journal is friends only, and then it's rather pointless. The only person I ever dropped was someone who expressed complete joy over something that would be used to oppress people I care about. I used to add people at random quite often, although I would always leave a comment when I did. Lately, I've gotten wary about doing that - some people seem to really hate it. If someone has a friends only journal, I won't usually add them unless it's someone who added me first. I have no wish to impose - sometimes it seems offputting, but I know people have their reasons. If anything, I suppose I ought to be a little more cautious about what I leave public. I'm glad this place gives me the option - most places don't.

I confess to a little disappointment and hurt as well, when someone drops me. I know I shouldn't take it personally, and I try not to ( I know I'm not every ones cup of tea), but I'm human and I have emotions after all. Luckily, it doesn't happen very often. Less often than people add me, anyway. ;)

So, Gareth has taken lately to watching me stir creamer into my coffee, and trying to guess what islands or continents the disolving powder looks like.

Ooh,look, it's Antarctica/Hawaii/Catalina/ Santa Baraba/Ana Capa Island!

Now it's Atlantis!

Interesting - hope to hear something about it when it's published. We'll see what John Dvorak has to grouse about then.

The creator of these must be a Gorey fan. ;)
